Does this item block both sockets? I need access to the other plug for the location I intend to use.

Generally speaking the answer is NO it doesn't not block both sockets. The remote connection requires the top connection. If another plug is higher than just a simple plug like a lamp or iron, it will not fit below the remote control outlet. I love them as they save me a bit of traipsing back and forth turning lights on and off from my family room to thru the dn/lv room to my bedroom. Presently, I have a LR table lamp connected to the remote and plugged in Christmas lights in my windows below it. Hope this helps.

Does not completely block the second socket. Can still use the other socket depending on what type of plug you have, preferably the old 2 prong rectangular plug. Bulky adapters like Apple or Samsung chargers will definitely not fit along with this.

It only blocks the receptacle it is plugged into, you may have to put it on the bottom to access the top one.

This switch has only one female receptacle and is only intended to operate one power tool at a time. I suppose you could bypass its intended use by plugging a power strip into the switch, and then plug your router and vac into the strip allowing you to turn off both tools at once...in theory.

yes, it has both 2 prong and 3 prong sockets on the same unit. So assuming the current & power draw is within limits, you might be able to put two pieces of equipment on the same unit if needed..

It didn't block the top outlet for me with normal plugs, but the circular UPS plugs I had on the same outlet didn't fit very well. I used short cord extensions to bring the adapter away from the wall. My experience was that if you use the short (say 3-inch) extension cords, your bandwidth won't be affected and you can eliminate and spacing issues nicely.

you can use the socket that would be above or below however if you have a muliti pronged "cheater" socket, then it will take up a socket that would be beside the unit. it is fat and it is designed to be streamelined on one plane so it does not eat up the socket below. you don't have a choice which socket to use because it is polarity priority, becasue of the fatter prong that grounds it. hope this makes sense.

It has three 2-pronged sockets. You'll need to get a grounded-socket adapter for 3-pronged plugs.

The device would block both outlets BUT, it is only dual prong, and bidirectional, it works plugged in upside down or rightside up. So you can plug it in such that it does NOT block the upper or lower outlet.

Hi. I have not connected 2 of them to each other. What I have is ONE extension/surge protector and 2 Nugiant connected to it. One on each night table next to my bed. This allows us to connect our devices on night tables to power overnight

Hey Angry... They connect to one another with the goofy and cumbersome round plug that is built in. It works fine as long as you don't mind looking at the big, goofy connector. Hope this helps.

If you have "firewall" clearance it will work. #1 plug wire will be located one spot to the right.

There are two tabs to push to unplug. If you don't push them you can ruin the connection plug.

Only one female plug end. To use two tools, you would need some sort of splitter.

Yes. I just checked and the plug is not polarized (one plug larger). Both prongs are same size. One could be installed upside down. The cord would be routed up rather than down but both AC Adapters can be pluged into a single duplex receptacle.

Hello! Thanks for the quesiton. These units do not cover both sockets. The plug is at the bottom of the unit. We have our light plugged in to the top socket in our outlet leaving the bottom one free. Hope that helps.

You can ignore the "Yes" answers because they don't cover both outlets on a standard wallplate unless you have no imagination. Plug the light into the top outlet and the bottom outlet is available, though you may have to bend down to see what you're doing when plugging something in. Even easier, turn the light upside down and plug into the bottom outlet. Problem solved.

One socket is connected to your control pad and the other is not and acts like a regular socket.
