Flat extension cords maintain a lower profile when placed on flat surfaces, supplying the power you need without the trip hazard that a round cord can create. For any areas expecting high foot traffic, or a large volume of wheeled carts, the flat cord is going to be an optimal solution.
Advantages Of A Flat Extension Cord
For many years, round extension cords have been the industry standard. However, technological advancements have led to the introduction of flat cables that are now being seen as a worthy alternative to the traditional option.
To show you why you should consider getting a flat extension cord the next time you go out shopping for one of these essential items, read on below.
A Strong And Low Profile Solution
Popularly known for their low profile structure, these newer variants are also very strong. In fact, due to their unique parallel construction, these cables are a third the height of the traditional round cables. This in itself gives rise to a variety of other benefits that will be covered below.
Since the structural load carrying capacity of these cables is distributed between the conductors and insulation/outer jacket, these low profile variants are considered to be very strong. This, combined with the use of molded plugs and connectors, results in a strong and highly durable product.
More Flexible
The work of coiling and uncoiling cables is much easier when the cables in question are flexible. Such cables are also easier to use in work areas where space is limited. Owing to their unique construction, these newer variants tend to be very flexible. And, thanks to the use of a flexible heavy-duty outer jacket and soft drawn bunch stranded copper conductors Bad Ass products are even more flexible.
Safer Spaces
Choosing a flat extension cord over a round one will definitely help you make your home, or work space, much safer for everyone involved. This is one of the direct advantages of the low profile structure of such cables. These solutions normally lay closer to the ground, and are also easier to hide out of the way.
As such, these cables are less of a trip hazard than their substantially thicker rounded counterparts. Resultantly, the cables can be safely used in high traffic areas; without exposing those passing by to an abnormally high risk of suffering slips.
