- What is this cord for?
- It connects a device to a nearby outlet, UPS or PDU when the built-in cord is just short of reaching. It is a jumper, not a long extension.
- How long is it?
- About one foot, roughly 0.98 ft. Measure the gap before buying; it will not stretch across a room.
- Can it handle a space heater or air conditioner?
- No. The 13 A rating suits computers, monitors, chargers and network gear, not high-draw appliances.
- Does it work with a standard US outlet?
- Yes. The NEMA 5-15P plug fits ordinary 15 A household outlets and most UPS and PDU receptacles.
- Is it surge protected?
- No. It is a plain extension cord, so surge protection has to come from the outlet strip or UPS it plugs into.
- Where is the Tripp Lite Series Power Extension Cord Nema 5-15P cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $16.99, as of our latest check.
