extension cord
Portable power cable
An extension cord is an electrical cable with a plug on one end and one or more outlets on the other, used to extend the reach of power from a wall outlet to a device: I need an extension cord to reach the Christmas lights.
They come in various lengths and gauges, with heavier gauges required for high-draw appliances.
