About Extension Cords

NEMA Plug x Wire Leads

NEMA 5-15 Plug

Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.

SPT cords have a flat cord shape so they fit in tight spaces. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the relative thickness of the insulation.

90° Elbow Plug × Socket

NEMA 5-15 Plug

NEMA 5-15 Socket

Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances. The industry designation is SPT, so they have a flat cord shape.

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

Covered-Cord Outlet Strips

NEMA 5-15 Plug

NEMA 5-15 Socket

A combination of an outlet box, cord, and duct, these outlet strips minimize tripping hazards and protect the cord from damage. The cord extends two feet beyond the end of the duct. They have a 90° elbow plug that fits flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight. Use tape with adhesive on both sides to secure duct.

D-Sub Cords

Connect computers, monitors, printers, and other devices with DB connections.

RS-232 cords transmit data between a modem and another device, such as a computer.

Null modem cords connect two like devices, such as a computer to a computer.

Parallel cords connect a computer to a printer.

Shielded cords have foil to prevent signal interference from nearby devices. Use them in settings with low to moderate signal interference, such as labs, storage facilities, and offices.

Double-shielded cords have braid and foil for better protection against signal interference than shielded cords. However, the extra shielding adds diameter and reduces flexibility. They’re used in steel mills, machine tool plants, and other heavy processing facilities.

Cords with reversible mounting hardware have removable thumb screws to enable a wider range of mounting options than other cords. Mount them to ports and adapters, as well as directly into panels.

USB Cords

Connect devices such as computers, printers, and mobile devices. The higher the USB standard, the faster cords can transmit data. These cords are backward compatible, so they work with cords and connectors that meet the same or lower USB standard.

Double-shielded cords have a metal braid and foil insulation, so they reduce signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.
