- What does this splitter actually do?
- It plugs into one two-prong outlet and gives you two two-prong sockets, so two devices can run from a single wall outlet.
- Will it work with a three-prong plug?
- No. Both the plug and the sockets are ungrounded NEMA 1-15, so three-prong grounded plugs will not fit.
- Can I plug a space heater into it?
- Not safely. The splitter shares one circuit between both devices, so keep it to lamps, chargers and small electronics.
- What does polarized mean here?
- The sockets accept polarized plugs, whose wider neutral blade fits only one way, keeping hot and neutral correct.
- What is SPT-2?
- It is a UL cord designation for heavier-duty zip cord with thicker insulation, common on lamps and small appliances.
- Does it protect against power surges?
- No. It is a passive splitter with no surge protection or breaker; it only adds sockets.
