Overview

The GE 45201 6-Outlet Grounded Wall Tap Extender is a practical solution for rooms where outlet availability falls short of demand. It plugs directly into a standard grounded duplex receptacle and fans out into six individually grounded outlets — three standard-spaced and three adapter-spaced. The wider slots are particularly useful for oversized phone chargers, laptop power bricks, and other bulky adapters that would normally block adjacent outlets on a conventional power strip.

Rated at 125VAC, 15 Amps, and 1875 Watts with UL certification, the wall tap handles everyday loads with confidence. Its flush-mount design covers the existing wall plate for a tidy appearance, and an optional mounting screw slot allows for a more permanent installation if desired. At the same time, it installs and removes in seconds for temporary setups. It is worth noting that this is a tap extender, not a surge protector, so pairing it with a separate surge device is advisable for computers or home theater equipment.
