About Extension Cords

Light Duty Multi-Outlet Extension Cords

Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power multiple appliances from one outlet.

Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.

SPT cords have a flat cord shape so they fit in tight spaces.

Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations.

Tug these cords to full length, and they’ll stay plugged in. Also called hospital-grade cords, they form an extra-tight connection with outlets. After stretching, they return to a tight, tangle-free coil. Use them for computers, lab equipment, and other machines that have IEC connections. They'll stand up to damp environments thanks to their insulation, which is designated as SJT. The plug is marked with a green dot, indicating it is hospital-grade.
