Woods Light Duty Indoor Extension Cord, 8-Inch, 16 Gauge, 3 Conductor, 3-Pack Adapter Cords, White, 6991

This 3-pack of Woods 8-inch extension cords (Model 6991) is one of those small purchases that solves a huge, annoying problem in every home: bulky plugs blocking adjacent outlets. These aren't just short extension cords; they are essential outlet savers, and I couldn't be happier with their performance and value. Design & Utility (5/5): The 8-inch length is absolutely perfect for what I needed—just enough slack to get a large, block-style adapter or transformer plug away from the main outlet strip or wall socket. Since they are flat and flexible, they don't add much visual clutter. I've used them behind furniture, near kitchen counters, and on power strips to free up all the ports. The white color blends seamlessly with standard outlets. Quality & Safety (5/5): These are 16-gauge, 3-conductor cords, meaning they are properly grounded and safely rated for light to medium-duty indoor applications (lamps, chargers, small appliances). They feel robust and well-made, not cheap or flimsy. The UL listing provides peace of mind that these are safe for continuous use. The fact that it's a 3-pack is a huge bonus, allowing me to tackle multiple problem areas right out of the box. Ease of Use (5/5): It’s plug-and-play simplicity, but the difference they make in utility is huge. They instantly convert a frustrating, unusable outlet cluster into a fully functional power source.

So many things come with a "wall-wart" (the little lump at the end of a power cord). While I see the purpose, so often they take up too much space right where they plug in. They either are facing the wrong direction or overlap multiple outlets. Example: The un-interruptible power supply for my computer has many outlets but, the power supplies for the router, modem, external backup drive, etc. all interfere. These little extensions are just perfect. I plug these extension into the back of my power supply and the wall-warts into the extensions. Job done.

I invested in an expensive grounded multi-plug unit to streamline my computer setup, but quickly ran into a frustrating problem: oversized plug units monopolizing precious outlet space. The electric stapler, paper shredder, and auxiliary USB unit all came with bulky adapters, and I was struggling over how to plug everything into the power strip without creating a tangled mess of cords. These short cable extension cords were the perfect solution for accommodating those hefty adapters while maximizing the efficiency of my multi-plug unit. The ends are lighted when the power is on. These cords declutter my workspace and allow me total use of previously inaccessible outlets. I now have the full function of my power strip without the headache of tangled cords.

If you use a computer, you should plug it into a surge protector. It's just common sense; a transient voltage spike, caused by anything from lightning to a motor starting up or shutting down, can damage your computer or wipe out your hard drive. The problem is that most power strips and surge protectors don't allow you to use all the sockets with the power adapters for external hard drives or other peripherals. How can you use all the outlets without blocking them with the 'wall warts'? You need something like, I don't know, a mini extension cord. The Coleman Cable 6991 Power Strip Liberator, 8-Inch Extension Cord, 3-Pack is the solution. Basically, it's three short (8"/200mm) extension cords, each a single plug and socket, that allow you to move your adapters a few inches off the power strip. This is all you really need, since the problem is just getting the 'juice boxes' off the surface of your surge protector. The Coleman cables are convenient and work perfectly; in addition; they include a bright neon lamp in each socket end, so you can find the connector under a dark desk, or tell if the power is on at a glance. For under eight bucks for three mini-extensions, I bought two packages and took a couple to work. It's a cheap fix for an annoying problem. It's just a simple solution for a minor headache.

these are good when identifying multiple plugs on a surge protector gets confusing. plus sometimes you have a plug side brick, or a plug thats got a large rectangle on it and you need mini extensions, so you have access to all surge protected outlets. they do provide light all the time, so if the outlet in dark place this is useful.

This is intended to free up space on your power strip by putting a little distance between the strip and big bulky a/c plugs. These work great for this, and for allowing you to put a/c plugs or multi-plug adapters into recessed electrical outlets such as this one: Leviton 689-W 15 Amp 1-Gang Recessed Duplex Receptacle, Residential Grade, with Screws Mounted to Housing, White If you happen to need a very short extension cord, this works for that too. I like the fact that the "female" end of this seems to fit other plugs tightly. That means I had to push hard to get them in, but it also means the a/c adapters are less likely to come loose. When you plug the "male" end into the power strip or wall, the female end lights up. That's handy so you know if your power strip is working. However, if this plug is visible in your set-up that might be a downside.

Excellent product would buy again. Gave some to family & they also loved them. UPDATE I'm back for more, i purchased 3 sets of these and made the mistake of giving some away. These Powder Strips are Fantastic, I absolutely love them. They work great when you have a large plug to plug into the wall or a long strip. Those large square plug take up 2 or more spaces or the whole outlet on the wall. With these you have access to all outlets. I would definitely recommend this product to Family and Friends and more. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to purchase these. Mary Lou Lion UPDATE Just received these 1/2 hour ago and already using them.i can't say enough about how Handy these Power Strips are. Unbelievable. Try them you won't be sorry. I'm not giving anymore of these away I'm going to give them the Amazon Site so they can buy their own Haha Thank you For offering this product to all of us. Mary Lou Lion ENJOY

I hate having half the outlets on a powerstrip to be blocked by bulky power supplies. 8in seems to be the right length to get bulky power supplies out of the way next to a power strip. I had some 12in extensions and they were a little too long - adding to the rat's nest of cables and sometimes actually making it hard to "find" the bulky power supply plug when trying to unplug or reroute a cable. The illuminated ends actually help to make this easy. I've bought 4 sets at this point and use them in different rooms to avoid blocked outlets on a surge protector. Have not had any trouble with these flashing or flickering.
