12-inch 3-prong extension cable

This 12-inch cable adds a single 3-prong receptacle to extend the reach of existing power cords. It is built with 16AWG wire and rated for 1625 watts at 120 volts, making it suitable for desktop peripherals and office equipment. The UL 817 listing confirms compliance with cord-set safety standards. Buyers needing longer runs or multiple outlets should consider a different solution.

Thermals noise and power draw

The 16AWG conductors handle up to 13.5 amps continuously without overheating under normal indoor loads. Passive operation means the cable produces no audible noise during use. Power loss over the short 12-inch length is negligible for connected devices. No active cooling or fan is present or required.

1625-watt maximum rating

The 1625-watt ceiling at 120 volts is the single figure that determines whether this cord fits a given device. Equipment drawing more than 13.5 amps will exceed the rating and must not be plugged into this extension. Always verify the appliance nameplate before connecting. The cable provides exactly one additional outlet.

Questions about this item

How do I plug this 12-inch extension into a wall outlet and what step do people skip?

Insert the 3-prong plug fully until the blades seat completely; the step often skipped is verifying the outlet is not loose, which can cause arcing at 13.5 amps.

What part of this 16AWG cable will wear out first and need replacement?

The single 3-prong receptacle contacts fatigue from repeated insertions; replace the whole cord when plugs fit loosely or show discolouration.

At what load does the 1625-watt rating become the limiting factor during continuous use?

Sustained draws above 13.5 amps at 120 volts exceed the UL 817 rating, causing the 16AWG conductors to heat beyond safe limits.
