Cable Matters 2-Pack 16 AWG 2‑Prong Extension Cord 6 ft White

Description

Product Overview

The Cable Matters 2‑Pack 16 AWG 2‑prong extension cords are engineered for reliable indoor power distribution. Each cord measures 6 feet in length and is finished in a clean white jacket that blends discreetly with home décor. Constructed from high‑conductivity copper conductors, the cords support a maximum load of 13 amps (1625 watts), providing ample power for lamps, chargers, small appliances, and seasonal lighting. The flat plug design incorporates a NEMA 1‑15P polarized plug, while the opposite end offers three NEMA 1‑15R polarized receptacles, giving you multiple outlets from a single source. A built‑in tamper guard automatically covers the receptacles when not in use, reducing the risk of accidental contact by children or pets. All components meet NEMA certification standards, ensuring compliance with North American safety regulations. The cords are lightweight at just over 10 ounces, making them easy to store, transport, or install in tight spaces such as under desks, behind entertainment centers, or inside RVs. Dimensions of the cord housing are compact at 4.72 × 2.36 × 0.5 inches, allowing for unobtrusive placement on shelves or workbenches.

Usage

These extension cords are versatile enough to serve a wide range of everyday scenarios. In a home office, they can extend the reach of a laptop charger or a desk lamp, keeping cords organized and out of the way of foot traffic. For holiday decorating, the cords provide a safe, low‑profile solution for connecting strings of lights, ensuring that each outlet is protected by the tamper guard when not in use. In a workshop or garage, the three‑outlet configuration allows you to power a drill, a work light, and a small air compressor simultaneously without overloading a single socket. The 16 AWG gauge offers a balance between flexibility and durability, making the cords suitable for temporary setups in classrooms, conference rooms, or pop‑up retail displays. Because the cords are rated for 120 volts, they can be used with standard North American power sources, and the white color helps them blend into light‑colored walls or furniture, reducing visual clutter. Their compact size also makes them an excellent travel companion for RV owners who need to power portable devices while on the road.

FAQ

Can I use these cords with 3‑prong appliances?

No. The cords are designed with a 2‑prong (NEMA 1‑15) plug and receptacles, which are intended for devices that do not require a ground connection. For appliances that need a 3‑prong (grounded) connection, a compatible extension cord with a grounded plug should be used.

What does the tamper guard do?

The tamper guard automatically slides over the three receptacle openings when the cord is not in use. This prevents foreign objects, such as metal utensils or small fingers, from being inserted into the outlets, reducing the risk of electric shock or short circuits.

Is the cord suitable for outdoor use?

These cords are rated for indoor use only. While the insulation is robust, it is not rated for exposure to moisture, UV radiation, or temperature extremes that are common outdoors. For outdoor applications, a cord specifically labeled for outdoor use should be selected.

How many cords can I connect together?

To maintain safety and avoid overloading, it is recommended not to daisy‑chain more than two extension cords together. Exceeding this limit can increase resistance, generate heat, and potentially violate electrical codes.

What warranty does Cable Matters provide?

Cable Matters offers a limited one‑year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. If a cord fails due to a manufacturing issue within the warranty period, you can contact customer support for a replacement or refund, subject to proof of purchase.
