Review on 🔌 StarTech.com 1 ft Low Profile Flat Extension Cord - Right-Angle NEMA 5-15R to NEMA 5-15P Power Cable (PAC101R1) - Black by Shawn Parker

I bought this adapter to connect a high amperage backup power supply. At first glance, I could tell that this cable looked less durable than typical NEMA 5-15 cables commonly used to connect to a computer. Further testing showed that the cable was only rated for 13 amps or 1625 watts. I immediately checked the product page and saw no mention of this limitation. This is a ridiculous economy, as the amount of extra copper needed to keep a normal household outlet running at full power (15A, 1800W) would be on the order of a penny. However, this cable should be considered a fire hazard unless you are certain that the device you intend to use it with is not rated at 13A. Of course, don't use it with a heater, and don't expect this cable to be general-purpose with anything you can plug straight into an outlet.
