Splitter cord for two grounded devices

This 1.5 ft Y-splitter turns a single NEMA 5-15P outlet into two NEMA 5-15R receptacles, letting you plug in a desktop and a monitor from one wall socket. The 16AWG conductors are rated for 13A at 125V, so it handles typical office or home lab loads without a bulky power strip. It ships new in black and carries model number 135140.

Replaces a short power strip when only two plugs

Use it instead of a four or six-outlet strip when desk space is tight and you only need to power a pair of grounded devices such as a PC and a display. The jump is worth it when you want a cleaner cable run and do not need surge protection or extra sockets that would go unused.

Limited by the single 13A branch circuit

Both receptacles share the same 13A rating, so the combined draw of the two connected devices must stay within that limit. It cannot supply more current than the wall outlet provides, and it adds no circuit breaker or surge suppression of its own.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.5 ft length and NEMA 5-15P plug fit behind my desk without blocking the other outlet?

The cord measures 1.5 feet from the NEMA 5-15P plug to the Y-split, so it adds minimal depth behind furniture. The single grounded plug occupies one wall receptacle while the two NEMA 5-15R sockets face outward for your devices.

How do I connect the splitter so both devices stay grounded and the 13 A limit is not exceeded?

Insert the NEMA 5-15P plug fully into a grounded 120 V outlet, then plug each device into the two NEMA 5-15R receptacles. The 16 AWG conductors are rated for 13 A total; add the amp draws of both devices and keep the combined load at or below 13 A.

When should I replace the splitter cord to keep the 13 A rating safe?

Replace the cord if the jacket shows cuts, the plug blades are bent or discoloured, the receptacles grip loosely, or the cord feels warm during normal 13 A use. The 16 AWG SJT construction is durable, but any physical damage reduces its 13 A capacity.
