Outlet saver for bulky transformers
This 12 ft extension cord uses an 18 AWG NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R connection to prevent large AC adapters from blocking adjacent outlets on a power strip or UPS. The fully molded black cable is built for durability and long service life. It suits computers, monitors, printers, scanners and similar devices that use the standard three-pin shroud connector.
Build integration and space savings
The cord plugs directly into an existing wall socket or power strip receptacle and provides a female NEMA 5-15R end for the device plug. Its 12 ft length lets you route power around furniture or equipment racks without moving the source outlet. The design frees up neighbouring sockets that would otherwise be covered by oversized transformer blocks.
Upgrade from short fixed cables
It replaces the short, fixed power leads supplied with many peripherals when those leads are too short or when their bulky plugs waste outlet space. The jump is worth it whenever a transformer blocks another socket or when equipment must sit farther from the power source than the original cable allows. Buyers who need a heavier gauge for high-current loads should look elsewhere.
