Power First 3 to 10 ft. Indoor Extension Cord; Max Amps: 13.0, Number of Outlets: 1, Orange

Indoor extension cords with a single outlet consist of flexible electrical cable with a plug at one end and a single receptacle at the other end. They are typically used in lengths of 25 ft. or less in indoor environments to provide power when a device's cord is too short to reach an electrical outlet, such as with equipment in laboratories, workshops, and offices. They have a lightweight jacket that is not suitable for wide temperature ranges and therefore should not be used outdoors.

Extension cords are a length of flexible electrical cable used to bring power to a device located up to 100 ft. away. They are typically used when a device's cord is too short to reach a power source, such as an electrical outlet, or where outlets may be scarce. They have a two- or three-prong plug at one end that connects to the power source and a molded outlet at the other end that devices plug into. Extension cords with a single outlet have a single receptacle, while cords with multiple outlets have two or more receptacles. In general, the more power needed by a device, the thicker the extension cord (or lower the gauge) needs to be to support the electrical current flowing through the cord. Extension cords are commonly used to provide temporary power in a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications.
