Overview

The GE 47494 3-Outlet Extender is a simple and effective way to turn a single grounded wall outlet into three usable outlets. Its cube tap design spaces the outlets far enough apart to accept bulky power adapters and chargers simultaneously, solving the common frustration of one large plug blocking access to the rest. Rated at 15A/125VAC/1875W and UL Listed, this extender meets standard safety requirements for everyday use in homes, offices, dorms, and classrooms.

Portability is one of its strongest features. The compact black unit is small enough to carry in a laptop bag or backpack, making it a practical accessory for anyone who regularly finds themselves short on outlets at a desk, in a hotel room, or at a conference table. While it does not include surge protection or USB charging ports, its simplicity is part of the appeal — it does one job well at a minimal footprint, and the clean black finish keeps it visually unobtrusive wherever it is plugged in.
