Questions & Answers

Is there a way to tell what gauge the cord is? Is it stamped on it, or can the manufacturer tell me?

I'm curious as to how long this is going to take. ?

Sure. On my two-year-old, the length measures 13 inches. I have another one with four ports that says one on the package. 18-inch height When I finally measured it, it came out to be 20 inches. I hope this has been of assistance.

Selected User Reviews For Cables Unlimited 2 Outlet Xtender Power Cord Splitter

In 2015, Wired Correctly was released
5/5

It's a shame the first review you see for these is "still miswired in 2013," because they're excellent quality and fully wired in 2015 - I purchased three sets and double-checked each connection with a multimeter - which were 100% correct The plug has a UL seal, which is to be expected. 16AWG is the gauge of the wire. My needs (plugging multiple low-amp power bricks into a surge protector) were met perfectly. Also, the length of these cables is ideal for that application. br>I'm so glad I came across these, and the price is incredible for the quality.

This outlet extender is sure to make your friends jealous
4/5

I go to seminars and meetings where people compete to be the first to the nearest charging station. Since getting this product, I've been able to share a single outlet with a colleague, so this hasn't been an issue for me. I remember doing this in early March 2018, and my coworkers were apologetic at first because there were no free outlets until I pulled out this small device. They, too, wished for one. hehebr>br>The product, for example, allows me to connect a monitor to my laptop and have both of them powered, allowing me to work with multiple screens in situations where I'm visiting friends and family and only have two wall outlets in the room, one of which is already occupied by an appliance. br>br>Since I've been using the device, I've had no problems, and I've recommended (and will continue to recommend) this product (and its variants) until supm changes. *thumbup*.

The cable is of exceptional quality
5/5

High-quality, heavy-duty, and well-designed cable that was manufactured Unlike some of the other reviews, the load/neutral lines on the one I received are correctly oriented. If you're worried about the cable's polarity, use an ohm meter to rule out any potential house wiring problems. Here's how to do it quickly: br>br>1) Connect one of the female ends of the cable to the male end of the cable. br>2) Check for continuity between the neutral and load sides with an ohm meter connected to the other female end. If there is no continuity, the lines have not crossed and the cable is in good condition on that side. If the lines are crossed and there is no continuity, the cable should not be used. br>3) Connect the male end to the other female end and repeat the steps above (steps 2 and 3). If both sides appear to be in good working order (i. e. The cable is safe to use if there is no continuity.

SPLITTERS THAT ARE EASY TO USE AND CHEAP Very useful for use in areas on your AV surge protectors where more and more 12 V is being used
4/5

Because of the size of these small transformers and, of course, how many of these units you are plugging into it, a 12 outlet surge protector can be effectively changed into a 7 or less outlet unit these days. Because they block part of the others, it's impossible to avoid losing at least one, if not two, outlets. Because these small 12V transformers don't carry a lot of load in general, I suppose plugging two of them into one surge protector outlet won't hurt. br>The quality of these outlet extender/splitters is typical of the cheap Chinese plastic found these days, but I believe they will do the job for a reasonable amount of time before deterioration and drying occur.

2019 - GFI SWITCH FROM TRIPS - INVALUABLE I bought one of these a few months ago and it worked perfectly, so I went out and bought another, but as soon as I plugged it in, all the outlets in the area went out
3/5

I initially assumed it was a fuse, but after reading other customer reviews, I discovered it is the gfi switch that is tripped. I'm glad it's something I can fix, but this cord isn't working and the seller won't accept returns. That's one way to get rid of bad products, I suppose. Most of the cords should work, but you should get rid of the bad ones every now and then and refuse to accept returns. So, just be aware that SOME of these are wired incorrectly, and you WILL run the risk of receiving a faulty one. If you're feeling lucky, go ahead and take a chance. Take a chance!.

Wiring is correct and has been tested
5/5

I made sure to test the cable I received with an electrician's outlet testing tool before using it because of a slew of reviews from several years ago claiming the cable was wired incorrectly or even dangerously. To see for yourself, I've attached three photos. My apartment's outlet wiring was found to be "IN WORKING ORDER. " Both the left and right plugs on the cable were found to be "CORRECT. " On Monday, April 4, 2016, I placed an order for this cable. If the vendor has previously sold subpar cables (a different product), this cable should be listed separately.

PLUGGED UP ANOTHER TIME
5/5

GOOD! The vast majority of positive reviews are accurate. Heavy-duty plug that is well-made and of high quality. 16AWG(1. 31mm2 VW- 1 75 deg. C 300 volts) If you're going to use it outside, make sure it's protected from the elements. I double-checked the polarity and it's correct. br>br>The best advantages include being able to plug in those clunky adapters that are too big for power strips. br>br>Perhaps the older batches came from a poor worker who didn't perform assembly correctly; I believe the manufacturers have corrected that problem for future cords. br>br> This will not be a problem. (Wall adapters, even my six-slot one, only allow for small cords; otherwise, the adapters would take up nearly the entire multi-slot multi-slot multi-slot multi-slot multi-slot multi-slot multi-slot multi-slot multi fill in the blanks and. . To keep your house looking tidy, hide the cords behind furniture. I use extension cords with a couple of the "y" splitters (from the same company, so they're the same thickness, quality, and color), and I can keep my chargers for my tablet, cellphone, laptop, and lamp at the ready. I simply use the business end in the appropriate machine because everything is neatly tucked away. I plan to buy two more splitters because they are so much more convenient than a docking station (in my opinion). br>br> two additional extension cords (for a total of four plug-ins) ins), so that I could sit next to my recliner. While working on the laptop and watching TV, you'll need to plug in your electric blanket. One space is left open for the vacuum sweeper. hehhee.

A Serious Issue - Solver - On a shoestring budget
5/5

Have a low-calorie snack on hand. I needed to plug in a high-wattage device, but I didn't have any wall outlets or power-supply options. Are there any spots where you can strip? It's not an issue. This bad boy needs to be connected. Make room for a new person. Excellent construction. quality. I WOULDN'T RUN AT ALL IF I HAD THE OPTION TO. This splitter isn't designed for high-wattage devices because it isn't rated for them. currents that are very strong It's possible that you've overloaded your outlet or surge protector. Aside from that, this is a fantastic problem-solving opportunity. solver. It comes highly recommended!.
