Is there a term for an extension cord with multiple outlets on one end (other than something like “multi-outlet/n-outlet/n-way extension cord“)? Something like this. I’d almost call it a tiny power strip.
Example sentence: you call up a store and ask,
Do you have any _________?
Or more realistically,
Fun factoid: that kind of cord is called a _______.
Answer
There is probably no such single word.
It’s hard to prove a negative, but you’d think if such a word existed, then the industry would use it. But if you go on e.g. Amazon or NewEgg, all you see is descriptive names like
3-Outlet Extension Cord, 2 Prong Power Strip, Extra Long 8 Ft Cable with Flat Plug
1 Foot 3 Outlet Extension Cord/Wire, 3 Outlet Electrical Cord
3 Feet White 3-Outlet Designer Household Extension Cord
