CyberPower GC201 Heavy-Duty Extension Cord

I purchased the CyberPower GC201 6" Heavy Duty Extension Cords to address a common frustration: oversized power supplies that disrupt adjacent outlets. It's perplexing that, despite the longevity of standard outlet designs, manufacturers continue to produce power supplies that seem to have no respect for the space they occupy. Thankfully, these extension cords provide a perfect solution to this problem. One of the standout features of these cords is their affordability. I was so pleased with their performance and utility that I ended up buying multiple units. These extension cords are incredibly cost-effective. What truly sets these cords apart, however, is the thoughtful addition of an extra outlet on the plug itself. This ingenious design ensures that you don't lose access to the outlet you're plugging into, even if the power supply is bulky. It's a small but incredibly useful detail that showcases a user-centric approach. I'm planning to purchase more of these extension cords as needed. They have been invaluable in tidying up the power connections for my electrical devices. If you're tired of dealing with unwieldy power supplies and the inconvenience they bring, the CyberPower GC201 extension cords are the perfect solution. I highly recommend them for their efficiency, affordability, and user-friendly design.

Use these with my electric power washer. The power washer has a GFCI plug that is larger than the opening of the existing weather proof outlet cover. Had to drag out an extension cord to work around the problem. Now I can leave this 6" extension connected to the PW cord without dragging out a long extension cord.

I am using a CyberPower UPS and I needed to plug my cable modem into one of the five battery supply plugs on it. But because I am also using the other four plugs for router and switches, I cannot fit the cable modem with its "brick-on-plug" style AC adapter into the socket due to obstructions from neighboring plugs. So, I really just needed something that would allow me to extend the face of the socket an inch or so that I can fit the plug in the socket. I could have just used one of those ground pin bypass adapters to accomplish this but, I was doing an upgrade on a rack layout and wanted something nicer that looked better and this was exactly that. The fact that it offers an additional plug on a 6" dongle (with a working ground) is a nice bonus.

Summary: Just works and is well made. Additionally, it’s a very sturdy but small item that goes into the travel kit and takes no space or weight unlike trying to pack a normal extension cord. I got this to help with the issues I run into while traveling. That includes: 1. Not enough outlets - This has two outlets built in so even an outlet that has no space gains an extra spot. Great for areas with limited availability of wall outlets in airports, airplanes and some hotel rooms. 2. Outlets where wall chargers fall out due to loose connections - Plug this in and use it like a small extension cord to change the vector of the force and most times this will stay in the outlet when the wall chargers fall out. 3. Plugging into the second outlet when someone has a large wall charger already plugged in - Some of those wall chargers take up way too much space and you can’t get two of them in the outlets of a duplex. So plug this in instead and it will likely mitigate the issue by presenting an outlet that’s an inch out or using the short extension outlet that is 6” away now. A great low tech solution for helping keep electrical power flowing to my devices when I need it.

I like these little extension cables. Many electrical devices today have power "bricks" or cube shaped power supplies that connect directly to a power outlet. Even the smallest ones block off the adjacent electrical outlets whether it is a wall outlet or a power strip. This extension cord can elevate a power brick above the adjacent outlets to free them for use or if the power brick is large, it can plug in to the end of the extension. Either way, the power brick is out of the way AND you get an extra outlet!. Don't go wild with using these though or you will exceed rated current limits.

Very handy adapter. Frees up the outlet and adds an additional plug.

Buena caldiad, grueso

This is a specialty cord, but perfect if you are looking for something like this that separates with a small distance two different things you want to plug into the same longer power cord. A bonus was that I didn't overpay for it...I thought it was very fairly priced for its small size and construction, despite being something that is more for a specialized situation. Its well made, feels durable, and I anticipate it outlasting me.

Cumple su objetivo. Ponerlo atras del mueble para conectar un ups. El ángulo del cable hace que el mueble llegue muy bien casi hasta atras.

I can’t believe how I managed without this adapter before! I have a lot of devices, especially networking equipment, and most of them have bulky power bricks built into their plugs. This can become a HUGE problem when you have multiple devices. You either end up needing another power strip or trying to rearrange the plugs to make them fit, which often results in some not being fully inserted, creating a safety hazard. This CyberPower cord completely solves the problem. It not only allows you to easily fit bulky adapters but also adds an extra outlet, which is incredibly useful, especially for UPS units that typically have a limited number of outlets. On top of that, it looks and feels very reliable. The cord is thick, and all connections, plugs, and outlets are extremely well-made and sturdy, giving me full confidence in its durability. I’d gladly buy these even if they were three times the price because they are worth every cent and deliver 300% value. This cord is a true game-changer, and I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with limited outlet space or bulky power adapters.

Cumple con lo prometido

Liked this cord a lot. Allows me to push the table further back because the plug stays flushed. Wish the pricing remains consistent.

I'd previously bought one of these before and found myself buying four more. Best thing every for getting full use out of your power bars and battery backup packs. So many devices come with large, clunky transformers that take up two or more outlets, but these little babies help you reclaim that space and use up all possible outlets. Every home needs a few!
