Overview
A 15 foot grounded extension cord from GE with a low-profile flat plug and three outlets, designed to reach farther across a room than the typical 6 foot cord while keeping furniture flush against the wall.
The angled flat plug is the notable design detail here: it lets furniture sit close to the wall and its angle keeps it from covering the neighboring outlet on a standard duplex receptacle. At 15 ft and 16 gauge, it is built for stretching power across a home office or media setup rather than a short jump between an outlet and a lamp.
- 15 ft length
- Low-profile angled flat plug
- 3 grounded outlets
- 125VAC / 13A / 1625W, 16 gauge
Who it's for
Fits rooms where the nearest outlet is several feet from where power is needed, such as behind a media console, desk, or bed, especially where a bulky plug would be a problem. Less suited to loads bigger than lamps, small electronics, or chargers given the 13A rating.
Pros and cons
- 15 ft reach, longer than most flat-plug cords
- Angled flat plug frees the neighboring outlet
- Three grounded outlets on one cord
- 13A rating limits it to lighter electronics
- No listed model number in this data
Performance notes
Rated 125VAC/13A/1625W on 16 AWG cable, the cord suits lamps, laptops, chargers, fans, and similar household electronics across its 15 ft length. The flat, angled plug is the main functional feature, letting it sit under furniture and share a duplex outlet with something else plugged into the other socket.
