These cables appear to be well constructed and fit well for their intended purpose

I randomly bought these cables as they had no reviews - I wasn't overly concerned as similar products are from the supplier/seller (C&E) have high ratings. The cables just arrived and they appear to be strong and well constructed. Both connector ends on all cables appear to be of good quality and fit snugly. . .not too loose and not too tight. My big question was the strength of the cords. . .many sellers like to keep this a secret. The lines seem to be thinner than my 16 gauge lines. . .They are probably 18 gauge. The cables are labeled 10A, 125V, 1250W compared to my 16 gauge cables which are labeled 13A, 1625W. A thicker 16 gauge cable is preferred, but these short extension cords are primarily designed to replace the large power adapters (wall warts) of extension cords/surge protectors. Wall warts typically draw little current, so I'm happy with a smaller gauge cable. The entire cord from end to end (not including the metal pins) is about 12-1/2 inches long. The portion of the cord itself is about 9 inches long. These cables came in a pack of six for $8.70 which would be a "BIG" deal for 12" 16 gauge cable and probably still a "GREAT" deal for 18" cable. measure up. If there are no problems after using the cables for a short time, I'll increase my rating to 5 stars.

Pros
  • Many will fit
Cons
  • No insurance
