Questions & Answers

What is the wire's insulation thickness?

3/8"

Is it possible to use this in the open air?

This cord's label reads "SJT," so it's not rated for outdoor use, according to the first response to this question.

Is it possible to use this for a small laptop on my bedroom desk? Or is it too bulky and not designed for small screens?

Although it is a thick cord, there is no reason why it cannot be used with a laptop, unless you prefer a more flexible cord.

12A is perfect
5/5

Never use extension cords to power heaters! Heavy AWG, 12A, perfect. Those who are destroying them. br>br> You're not going to be able to push 1800 watts. This is a perfectly acceptable extension for any application except heaters. br>br>You need a heavier cord. br>br>You need a heavier cord. br>br>You need a heavier cord. br>br>You need a heavier cord Never, ever, EVER, EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER.

FINALLY! Someone has mastered the art of product packaging: I've worked with extension cords my entire professional life, and one of the most important features is that the cord is flexible and does not kink
5/5

Because of the way they're packaged, 99% of cords come pre kinked straight from the factory. Getting these pre-kinked cords to workable condition takes a lot of effort. br>br>Whoever designed this cord knows how to roll and store a cord so you don't have to struggle with it every time you use it. Looking at the image, it appears to be coiled rather than coiled and smashed into an oblong mess. The process of loosening and straightening these cords will take almost no time. The other cords I ordered will require hours of work to make usable (if I am successful).

This is a working 15-foot extension cord
5/5

This is a working 15-foot extension cord. Because the nearest outlet is 12 feet away, I only used it indoors. I'd buy this product again if I needed a 15-foot extension cable. My personal rating scale is as follows: br>br> br>br>1 star rating - br>2 stars - I'm sorry I bought it. Although I only used it once, it was a good product. br>3 out of 5 stars - Product that has been used a few times and is of average quality. br>4 out of 5 stars - Good product that I frequently recommend and use. br>5 out of 5 stars - If I had the option, I would buy more than one of these. I would strongly advise others to use this service.

It's both practical and durable
5/5

When your wall outlet is out of reach but you need to plug and unplug various items, this is a good option. Due to the stiffness of this cord, don't expect it to bend sharply under or around obstacles.

It's a 20-foot extension cord, to be precise
5/5

There is only one outlet on this long extension cord. About 1- The cord is 5mm thick, so you know what you're getting. br>br>20ft is exactly the length I needed to go from the middle of one wall to the end of the next. I did, in fact, use fancy adhesive zip ties. You'll thank me later if you buy those as well. br>br>I'm sorry, but my ex left me last week. I'm compensating for my depression by being cocky and spending recklessly.

It appears that you've found a winner
5/5

The power cords on food processors are usually short, about two feet or less. As a result, they'll be able to use lighter-weight materials. gauge wire without overheating it while it's running? It's likely that the manufacturers save a dime or two per unit as a result of this. br>However, during a job, I require a processor near the kitchen sink. . . would you call me messy? In my older kitchen, the closest outlet is more than 4 feet away from the sink. Although I have power strips, stringing one across my counters would be excessive. This 3- My small problem appears to be solved by a foot extension cord. It appears to be in good condition. made and substantial- duty. After making the traditional bushel of cranberry relish for Thanksgiving, I'll have a better idea. I'm satisfied so far. br>I'll have to cook some more now. What the hell was I thinking?.

I'm able to plug thins in 20' farther than before
5/5

It has a length of 20 feet. It connects just fine. I plug one end into an outlet and the other into a thing, and the latter can turn on 20' away from the outlet than it would otherwise. I'm at a loss for words at this point. br>br>I suppose the most important thing to remember is: I like how it's coiled in a circle instead of tightly bound in a figure-eight shape. It's in an 8 shape, which means it's free of kinks right away.

Very nice, good-looking Great extension cord at a fantastic price; it is (truly) UL listed and very good-quality
5/5

quality. It holds plugs in place well (with just the right amount of tension) and is sturdy. duty. It has a good thickness and a lot of weight to it. indicating that the wires are of the correct gauge I noticed "ASAP" on both the male and female ends, as well as the cable itself. " While I'm not sure what this stands for, it's the same company that makes many of Lenovo's power cords. All of the Lenovo computers I've previously purchased came with power adapters that used the same "ASAP" brand of cable (the one that connects the brick to the wall). As a result, I am confident that this is an excellent-quality product. quality cord, not some "random" cord obtained through some "deal" with a no-name company by Amazon. Finally, despite the fact that this cord is rated for 1625 watts (13 AMP) and is 16 gauge, I would not recommend it for use with space heaters (despite the fact that space heater cords are typically indentical in gauge). To compensate for any impedance that may occur due to the longer distance that current must travel, I'd recommend 14 gauge (14 gauge is THICKER than 16 gauge) for space heaters.
