extension cable

Outlet distance solution

An extension cable is a length of electrical cord with a plug at one end and one or more outlets at the other, used to extend the reach of a power source: I need an extension cable to plug in the hedge trimmer.

Also called an extension cord.

The term applies similarly to cables extending data or audio-video connections.
