Questions and answers

Is this safe to leave plugged in?

Yes. It is UL listed and rated for 13 amps at 125 volts, so it is fine for continuous use with devices that stay under that load.

Can I plug a space heater into it?

Only if the heater draws under 13 amps and the wall circuit can handle both loads. Most space heaters pull 12.5 amps, leaving little room for a second device.

How long is the cord?

The cord is 14 inches, so it is meant to split an outlet at close range, not to extend power across a room.

Does it protect against surges?

No. It is a passive splitter with no surge protection or circuit breaker, so pair it with a surge protector for sensitive electronics.

What outlets does it fit?

It uses standard NEMA 5-15 Type B plugs and outlets, the usual three-prong US household connection.

Is $14.99 a good price?

It is the only new price listed, at Cable Matters as of November 4, 2026. Simple splitters often sell for less, so compare before buying if price matters.
