  1. How to Choose the Best Retractable Extension Cord   You've probably had trouble connecting a lamp and a cell phone charger at the same             time before due to a lack of nearby sockets or even because the wall sockets were too                 far from where you intended to use the devices. Situations like these occur frequently                 in any home and especially in offices. To solve this problem, retractable extension               cords are invented. Also known as an extension cord, ruler, or power extension, you               can use it to plug in multiple devices that are dependent on electricity, anywhere, at                   the same time. For that, you only need a power outlet to connect it into. In general, a                   retractable extension cord is a device consisting of a base that has sockets where the             devices will be plugged in as well as an extension cord that will connect to the wall                   socket. Today, there are several ​retractable extension cord ​options, with different designs, a number of sockets, and cord length. You can find simple extension models               with a small number of plugs and the more advanced ones that can accommodate                 more than 16 devices.                                                                                                                                                                                             WHAT ARE THE SECURITY PRECAUTIONS FOR USING A         RETRACTABLE EXTENSION CORD?          Like all power transmitting devices, retractable extension cords can also present risks           if used incorrectly. This is because with the increase in the number of devices             connected to the same source, overloads, and short circuits can occur that can           permanently damage your electronic equipment. Not to mention the imminent fire                                                                    

  2. hazards. So, check out the expert tips for using the retractable extension cord safely                 below:                ● Use quality products​: When cables and plugs are of good quality, they help           prevent fires and electric shock.  ● DR​: Ideally, retractable extension cords should be plugged into outlets protected         by a DR (residual device) which, when a current leak is detected, automatically             shuts down the circuit.                                              ● Power​: The sum of the currents drawn by the devices connected to the             retractable extension cord should not exceed the maximum capacity of the         outlet. For a typical residential outlet, the limit can be 10 or 20 amps (A).                              PURCHASE CRITERIA: WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE     BUYING A RETRACTABLE EXTENSION CORD          As already mentioned, there are several retractable extension cords options available.             In order for you to invest in the most suitable extension cord, it is necessary to                   consider both its purpose and the properties of each model.             selected for you the main factors that you should check before buying the ideal               retractable extension cord:                           Therefore, we have                             ● Extension design​: You will have two options: the round ones and the long and             rectangular ruler-shaped ones.                 

  3. ● Number of plugs​: Evaluate the amount of equipment or devices that you will           need to connect at the same time to the extension.  ● Type of pins​: The most common one is the plug suitable for pins of the 2P + T                 type which is the well-known three-pin socket.                                      ● Cable length​: You will find electric extension models with different cable lengths,             which can vary between 1 meter and 50 meters.                  Website:​ ​https://www.punkt.ch  Phone:​ ​+41919249003  Address: ​Punkt Tronics AG   Via Losanna 4, 6900 Lugano, Switzerland
