Overview
A living room or home office wall behind a sofa or desk is where a flat plug extension like this GE earns its place. The low-profile plug lies close to the outlet, and the cord has three grounded outlets at the far end.
A flat plug and three outlets let several small devices share one wall socket in a tight spot. The limitation is the sixteen gauge wire and the indoor rating, which suit lamps and electronics but not heavy tools or outdoor use.
Who it's for
Home offices, bedrooms and living rooms with devices that draw modest power are the setting. Outdoor jobs and heavy appliances need a thicker, weather-rated cord.
Pros and cons
- Three grounded outlets
- Low-profile flat plug
- Fifteen feet of reach
- UL listed in the name
- Indoor use only
- Not water resistant
- Thin wire for heavy loads
Performance notes
Capacity is set by the wire gauge and the rating, here the amp and watt figures, so total load must stay within that limit. A flat plug lets furniture sit closer to the wall, and a thin gauge means longer runs heat up under heavy loads.
