Overview
This is a 2-pack of 6 foot indoor extension cords that take a 2-prong plug and split it into three outlets, built for lamps, chargers, and small electronics rather than grounded appliances.
The cord accepts a non-grounded 2-prong plug on one end (NEMA 1-15P) and offers three 2-prong receptacles on the other, so it will not carry a 3-prong grounded plug even though the outlets look like standard sockets. SPT-2 insulation makes it sturdier than the thinner 18 AWG cords sold at this length, and a tamper guard covers unused outlets. ETL listing covers the safety testing behind it.
- 6 ft length, 2-pack
- 2-prong plug to three 2-prong outlets
- 13A / 1625W, 16 AWG SPT-2
- ETL listed with tamper guard
Who it's for
Suits anyone who needs to run a lamp, phone charger, string lights, or small electronics from a single 2-prong outlet and wants three plug points instead of one. Not for power tools, space heaters, or anything with a grounded 3-prong plug, since this cord has no ground pin.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Two cords per pack for two locations
- Tamper guard covers unused outlets
- Thicker 16 AWG cord than typical short extensions
- No ground pin, so 3-prong plugs will not fit
- Only rated for light loads, not power tools
Performance notes
The 16 AWG SPT-2 cord is rated to 13A/1625W, enough for the small electronics it targets, and the tamper guard keeps the unused sockets covered when not in use. Because both the plug and receptacles are 2-prong, grounded appliances simply will not fit, which is the main limitation worth checking before buying.
