  at least it’s short enough that it will only reach two plugs on the same panel, thereby guaranteeing that the first things that blow are breakers.

    Yeah, not what I need. I need NEMA 5-15 to CAT6 adapter

    Unless you accidentally touch one if the prongs after plugging one end in… 😅

    Unless one of your outlets is wired backwards, plugging this into 2 outlets on the same side of your electrical panel won’t do anything.

    If you were able to plug it into outlets on different sides of your panel, then you just created a 240v short and the cable is going to be real-spicy real-quick.

    Alternatively, One can plug one end in, then you have a creative new way to parent.

      i managed to do that to myself once in my sleep; i had managed to wrap my arm around a lamp cord which came out of the plug, and when i rolled over i managed to put my thumb on the exposed wires.

        I’ll never understand why the US refuses to modernize the horrid NEMA 5 connectors. A recessed receptacle, insulators around the base of the live and neutral blades, spring-loaded detention mechanism to keep the connector from slipping out… in its current state, it’s only two steps removed from sticking the bare wires into the socket.

    Is this the one you use to feed the house from a generator? If so, I think that’s the one time it’s valid

      You can get a male-ended socket on the house for that exact scenario.

  i guess if you’re got a bad breaker on your panel, you can load 2 circuits on one breaker with that thing, at least until the hardware store opens. you still get overcurrent protection… but a very unlikely thing to need
