Amazon Basics Extension Cord, 6 Ft, 3 Prong Outlet Extender, Indoor Extension Cord, 13 Amps, 125V, Black Black 6 Ft 1-Pack Extension Cord
Overview
The Amazon Basics 6-foot extension cord is a simple, budget-friendly grounded extension designed to bring a standard outlet a short distance closer. With a three-prong (grounded) plug and a 13-amp, 125-volt rating, it is suited to everyday indoor devices such as lamps, TVs, phone chargers, desktop computers and small office electronics. Its 6-foot length is short enough to keep cords tidy behind furniture or entertainment centers while providing the safety of a grounded connection.
