The ONLY reason I bought it is because the power switch IS AT THE OPPOSITE END where the cord attaches. You can't find this configuration anywhere. Every available extension cord always has a switch located next to the cord. BAD DESIGN. There are many situations where a "front" derailleur is desirable. I'm using a small strip on a bookshelf and I want the switch to face the front and the cord to come out the back. Otherwise you will have to fold the cable in half to access the switch. UNPLEASANT!
