Overview
Cable Matters pairs two white cords here, each ending in three outlets behind a tamper guard. The plug is a two-prong Type A, so it fits two-slot and three-slot sockets without a ground connection.
Three outlets on a short cord are the reason to buy, since a desk or nightstand rarely has enough sockets. The limitation is the rating: sixteen gauge wire and a modest wattage make heaters and big appliances a bad match.
Who it's for
Students and apartment dwellers short on wall sockets get two short cords. Workshop users and anyone with grounded equipment need a heavier cord with a ground pin.
Pros and cons
- Two cords in one pack
- Tamper guard blocks small objects
- Three outlets per cord
- No ground pin
- Total load limited by gauge
- Short cord length
- Lengths in the listing disagree
Performance notes
Wire gauge and the current rating set how much a cord can carry before it heats, and this cord is rated for a modest total. The sum of every device plugged into the three outlets counts toward the wattage limit. A tamper guard covers the unused outlets so a child cannot reach the contacts.
