C2G3FT Premium Universal Extension Cord - Power Extension Cord for TV, Computer, Monitor, Appliance & More (03114)

I recently purchased the C2G power cord as a replacement for the one I lost for my computer, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Firstly, the price was fantastic, making it a budget-friendly option without compromising on quality.The length of the power cord was perfect for my needs, providing ample reach from the power outlet to my computer setup. It eliminated the inconvenience of having to rearrange my workspace or use extension cords.In terms of performance, the C2G power cord delivered as expected. It provided a stable power supply to my computer without any noticeable issues. The build quality appears to be sturdy, with well-insulated wiring that feels durable.What impressed me most was the straightforward plug-and-play nature of the cord. It was easy to install, saving me time and effort. The snug fit ensured a secure connection, eliminating any worries of loose connections or power interruptions.Overall, I highly recommend the C2G power cord. Its affordability, ideal length, and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for replacing lost or damaged cords. It's a no-fuss solution that gets the job done without breaking the bank.

Modern wall plugs for electronics are a hassle, they never fit neatly onto your surge protectors and uninterruptable power supplies. This is quite frankly a normal thing, and one I grew accustomed to. Wasted power outlets was something I'd just learned to live with.However, when I moved into my own place, I realized I wanted to game and get stuff done at the same time... and to do that I needed to have both of my monitors, my steam deck's dock, my desktop gaming PC, my router, AND my modem plugged in seperately to my Uninterruptable Power Supply at the same time to avoid possible loss of work and game progress at the same time.So, I did some research into solutions. Grounded extension cords are hard to find, and long ones are prone to tripping people, getting damaged when stepped or tripped on, and eventual malfunctions from said damage. I needed a set of one footers that fit neatly behind my PC and were only useful for the sole purpose of maximizing the usefulness of every outlet on my UPS.These fit the bill very nicely, Now my modem and router, PC, monitors, and steam deck's dock can remain powered even when there is an outage, which works very well considering my ISP seems to use some kind of backup power solution themselves. If the power goes out, I can notify my teammates OR save my single player session, quit the game, save my documents, and not have to worry about lost data, progress, or punishment from overzealous anti-bad-sportsmanship scripts and tools in multiplayer games (or in the case of survival games or elite dangerous, loss of valuable stuff due to not getting to shelter before disconnecting).

They REALLY should list the current and power rating in the device description - unfortunately, they only list the wire gauge. My cord as arrived clearly states 10 Amps, 125 Volts, 1,250 Watt maximum on it. That said, it is a great extension cord to use with small power tools but you really have to know what you are doing and how NOT to start an electrical fire. It is advertised as 18 AWG wire gauge where a normal 15 Amp extension cord is most likely 14 AWG. 18 AWG is MUCH smaller wire than 14 AWG. This means it can't handle a 15 Amp load without burning up. BUT - if you have a small appliance under 10 Amps ( like my hand held vacuum or power drill ) it results in a MUCH lighter and compact cable to be dragging around and storing. My 25 foot 18 AWG has a ship weight listed as 1.1 pounds ( 0.5kg ) where a lot of equivalent 14 AWG 15 Amp cords are 3 lbs, or about 3x heavier. As an experiment - I used this website http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm to determine that plugging my 15 Amp 7" circular saw into this cable would be a REALLY BAD IDEA - the voltage drop was 10 Volts x 15 Amps = 150 Watts of heat dissipating in the cord. Running continuously, this would most likely melt the cable insulation and start a fire. For a good example of voltage drop turning into heat in a cord, run a upright corded vacuum cleaner and hold the power cord after it has been running for a few minutes - it should be quite warm.

Was everything I needed for the price!

Works good

This is a very sturdy type of cord and was a perfect fit for the jump start battery thing that we purchased.

I don't know why a manufacturer would make a coffee maker with a cord too short to reach a wall outlet, but go figure. This was perfect to close the gap without having a wad of extra cord left over. Very economical, too.

I wanted a very short cord for plugging into a surge protector, so I didn't have to reach behind the desk every time I wanted to use the machine it was plugged into. I move it to a lot of different places, so this really helps out.

Perfect for my use. My new monitor's power adapter was too short to reach the surge protector. It also saved several outlets on my surge protector.

Perfect Length for the charger

Didnt need a long cord that I’d have to have dangling all over the place this was perfect length.

We needed a short extension cord to enable us to connect some of our appliances to the nearest wall outlet. We like that in this cord the wiring was heavy so it could take as much current as required and when connected to the appliance it was a connection that would hold and not fall apart.

poor quality for outdoor use ,made in taiwan:
