🔌 NEMA 5‑15 Power Splitter Cable
 
(125V AC • 15A • NEMA 5‑15P Male to Dual 5‑15R Female • Y‑Splitter for Standard Outlets)

This cable splits a single NEMA 5‑15 outlet into two grounded 5‑15R receptacles, allowing multiple devices to share one wall socket. It’s ideal for low‑to‑moderate power loads in home, office, and rack environments.

⚠️ Things to Watch Out For
📉 Must stay under 15A total draw — overloading can trip breakers or damage equipment
🔌 Connector is grounded — don’t use with 2‑prong outlets unless properly adapted
🧯 Always confirm device amperage before plugging in multiple units
📏 Not suitable for high‑draw appliances like heaters or microwaves
 
🛠️ Quick Tips for Beginners
🧭 Look for NEMA 5‑15P plug and 5‑15R outlets on the cable ends
🔌 Confirm devices are 3‑prong grounded and low‑draw
🧪 If devices flicker or reset, check for overload or loose fit
🧯 Label clearly to avoid misuse in high‑power setups
