What kind of extension cord is this?

[frogmarch]

Anyone know?



The picture is a crop of a crime scene photo.. A man was bound to a small tree with the cord, and the ends of the cord were plugged into each other.

I don’t recall ever seeing a plug end like that, but I don't usually pay much attention to extension cord plug ends.

1. looks

like regular 13 amp cord with safety cover?

2. Agree!

Thank you.

6. I am the queen

of extension cords... I have even used them to tie stuff up, but never a person

[frogmarch]

7. Yes, you are!

I'm going to keep extension cords in mind when I need to tie something up, but like you, I won't tie up people.

Thanks again.

5. That's my thought as well. Nt

8. Yep, pretty common.

Not going to be too helpful for police probably.

9. Green Chinese junk from the Dollar Store?

You see them for sale around Christmas time.

10. That's close too. Whatever brand

the one on the tree is, I am quite sure now that the large piece on the receptacle end is a safety cover.

Thanks!

11. Looks like a wall hugger type plug, multiple outlet end with safety covers.

Older version I think of the wall hugger plug, newer ones are flatter.

12. Thanks! I'll look for

something resembling it online and at the hardware store today. If it's an older version, maybe the hardware guy will know.

Thanks again.

13. Right-angle plugs may be thicker like that.

Similar to wall huggers, wires come out of the plug at the bottom/side so they don't get bent/broken if something gets pushed up against where they are plugged into the outlet.

14. OK, and thanks

for that info too.

16. It could be. I see that

is has a flat plug, and I think the tree cord does too.

Good find! Thanks.
