A Simple Invention That Is Quite Useful [Posted on 2008-08-27]
Simple but quite useful product.
I have a UPS and a few powerstrips in the house. They are great by providing more outlets. But with all the power adapters that runs most of the gadgets today, even one of those power adapters can cover 2 to 3 outlets which defeats the purpose of having a powerstrip. The liberator solves that problem.
Also, some power adapters can be huge and heavy that its weight alone tends to loosen it from the wall, the liberator serves as a little extension to prevent it from loosening up. Loose connections are dangerous, it can produce sparks that not only can ruin your equipments but can even starts a fire. Countertop receptacles can also be problematic where they are awkwardly situated sideways.
Just what I needed! [Posted on 2008-08-29]
We used this cable to connect an electric cord that was too short to reach the outlet. It works great and was delivered quickly.
Good to save space. [Posted on 2008-10-30]
When you have too many routers or switches or external devices you need these. Typically you can not put three or more power supplies for those devices in a 6 Outlet power strip. But this this you can.
Great for plugging in devices that take up too much space [Posted on 2008-11-02]
I use this for plugging in battery chargers and other things that would otherwise cover up another nearby outlet. It also works great for the "wall warts" of other devices and enables one to maximize the usage of available outlets. The only negative is it seems a bit pricey.
Use caution if using with Kill-A-Watt - only rated for 10 amps! [Posted on 2008-12-20]
This product is fine if you are just using it to free up space on your surge protector or UPS that would otherwise be used by A/C adapters for cell phones, speakers, etc.
However, this cord is only rated for 10 amps. Unfortunately that is not disclosed anywhere in the promotional materials. This means you can only use it for electrical loads of up to 10x125 volts = 1,250 watts. So if you were intending to use this with a Kill-A-Watt to measure, for example, how much electricity your refrigerator or microwave uses, well, don't do it because those appliances may draw more than 1250 watts and overheat the wire, possibly causing a fire.
What is needed for use with the Kill-A-Watt is an extension cord that is rated for 15 amps or more. That will allow safe transmission of the electricity over the extension cord without overloading it.
