- Minimizes plug protrusion from outlets
- Enables tighter furniture placement
- Reduces cable strain in confined areas
Enhanced Durability
Constructed with long-lasting PVC connectors and a flexible strain relief system to withstand daily use in IT environments.
- PVC jacket resists wear and tear
- Strain relief prevents cable damage
- Noise-free rotating mechanism
Deployment / Use Cases
The StarTech.com rotating flat plug extension cord is particularly valuable in office settings where space constraints challenge traditional power solutions. Its design addresses common pain points in modern workspace configurations, from crowded power strips to furniture placement limitations.
This cord excels in home office environments where desks are positioned against walls, in server closets with limited clearance, and in retail displays requiring neat cable management. The ability to rotate the plug 360 degrees makes it compatible with various outlet orientations and power bar configurations without blocking adjacent outlets.
Office Workstation Setup
Ideal for connecting computers, monitors, printers, and scanners in space-constrained desk configurations where traditional plugs would prevent furniture from sitting flush against walls.
IT Equipment Power Distribution
Suitable for extending power to networking equipment, small servers, or peripheral devices in server racks or equipment closets where outlet access is limited.
Physical Profile
The extension cord features a sleek black PVC jacket that blends discreetly with office decor while providing flexibility for routing around furniture and equipment. At 10 feet in length, it offers sufficient reach for most workstation configurations without excessive cable clutter. The compact rotating plug mechanism maintains a low profile even when fully extended, and the 16 AWG wiring ensures the cable remains manageable despite its current-carrying capacity.

User Manual
FAQ
What devices are compatible with this extension cord?
This extension cord is designed to support standard North American grounded devices including PCs, monitors, printers, and scanners. The NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R configuration provides compatibility with most office and IT equipment requiring 125V power. The 15-amp rating makes it suitable for multiple devices simultaneously, though total load should not exceed the rated capacity.
How does the rotating flat plug improve space utilization?
The 360-degree rotating flat plug can be positioned at any angle, allowing furniture to be placed closer to walls without plug interference. Unlike traditional fixed-angle plugs that protrude several inches, this flat design minimizes the space required between furniture and outlets. This is particularly valuable in home offices, server closets, and retail displays where space optimization is critical.
What safety certifications does this extension cord have?
This extension cord is UL certified, ensuring it meets rigorous safety standards for electrical performance and construction. It also complies with EU RoHS, REACH, and WEEE environmental regulations, restricting hazardous substances and supporting proper end-of-life disposal. The 3-prong grounded design provides additional protection against electrical faults.
Can this cord be used with power strips or surge protectors?
Yes, the rotating flat plug design is particularly effective with power strips, as it can be oriented to avoid blocking adjacent outlets. The low-profile plug maximizes usable outlet space on crowded power bars. However, users should ensure the total current draw across all connected devices does not exceed the cord's 15-amp rating or the power strip's capacity.
What is the advantage of 16 AWG wiring in this extension cord?
16 AWG wiring provides optimal balance between current-carrying capacity and flexibility. It supports the full 15-amp rating over the 10-foot length without significant voltage drop, ensuring reliable power delivery to connected devices. This gauge is sufficiently robust for office equipment while remaining flexible enough for easy routing and storage.
How durable is this extension cord for daily office use?
The cord features durable PVC connectors designed to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging, along with a flexible PVC jacket that resists cracking and abrasion. Integrated strain relief at both ends prevents cable damage from bending or pulling. The rotating mechanism is engineered for noise-free operation and long-term reliability in business environments.
