Purpose & audience

The StarTech PAC1023 is a 3.3 ft piggyback power extension cord that converts a single NEMA 5-15P wall outlet into two NEMA 5-15R receptacles. It is built for IT professionals and office users who need to connect two bulky power adapters to one socket without blocking adjacent outlets.

Setup check

Verify that the wall receptacle is a standard NEMA 5-15P outlet rated for 125 V and 15 A. Ensure the combined draw of both connected devices stays within the 16 AWG cord rating and the 15 A circuit limit, and confirm there is physical space for the side-by-side connector layout.

Sustained-load behaviour

The 16 AWG conductors and UL-certified construction are designed to handle continuous operation at the rated 15 A without overheating. The piggyback form factor reduces mechanical strain on the wall outlet, helping maintain a secure connection during long-term use with heavier adapters.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy anything extra to use the PAC1023?

The cord ships as a single 3.3 ft black extension with a NEMA 5-15P plug and two NEMA 5-15R outlets. No extra parts are required; just plug it into a standard wall socket and connect your devices.

How do I decide between the different lengths or gauges offered for this model?

This MPN is only available in 3.3 ft with 16 AWG conductors rated for 125 V and 15 A. There are no other length or gauge options for the PAC1023.

What does the 15 A rating mean when I plug two power adapters into the two outlets?

The 15 A limit applies to the total current drawn through the single NEMA 5-15P plug. Both outlets share that capacity, so combined load must stay at or below 15 A.
