Most of these items have the 'plugs' too close together so all of the 'inlets' they cannot be utilized. Is this the same as others? Also, is this a 2-prong plug or 3 with ground? Thank you all.

This has three pins with ground and a surge suppressor for a telephone line if anyone still has one of those. It can take 6 regular plugs with leads, but the sockets are too close for transformer/power supply type plugs.

If you are looking to put in plugs that are associated with charging, they won't fit. Only regular-size (appliance-type) plugs will fit.

There is plenty of room to put 6 - 3 prong (1 grounded) plugs. The unit plugs into both of the wall outlets on your present electrical system. All you have to do is remove the screw from the plastic cover plug the Belkin in and then use their screw to further hold it in place. Really easy to do.

the plugs are adequately spaced so you can fit a regular sized plug side by side. the back has one three prong plug. a downside is that it sits flat against the wall when plugged but see in the middle under plug number two theres a set screw that can be screwed into something but if your wall doesn't have a hole there the screw is useless.

It has three prongs to be plugged in with a three hole outlet coming out the bottom. If you put it in the bottom outlet of the two in the wall, you should still be able to use the other as normal.

I assume that you're referring to the plug on the AC power adapter. That 2-prong AC plug fits any standard household 110 VAC power socket right out of the box... it doesn't need the 3rd (grounding) pin that you see on most AC power plugs nowadays. And, you can plug it in either way - it doesn't matter. Enjoy your keyboard.

I have a 3 prong cord and it works fine, and I have had the cord for a while now,and never have had a problem..Hope this helps.

With an adapter and the green wire of the adapter grounded to the faceplate screw if it's grounded. This defeats purpose of 6 outlet surge as it would stick out from wall...else have electrician change wall outlet to 3 prong with ground. "Hairy" way is to cut off gnd (U shaped blade) on 6 outlet device and only use it for 2 prong devices which may eliminate surge protection. Considered very dangerous to do this if plugging in devices calling for a ground!!!!

It has both three-pronged input and plugs to go into the wall socket, and my rudimentary understanding of current Code standards is that the third prong is the grounding plug, but "fully grounded" is a function of how well your wall socket is grounded -- in other words, if you plug a three-pronged plug into a three-pronged wall socket, but the wall socket is not properly grounded, whatever device you have plugged in is not "fully grounded".

in a large industrial wiring there could be a potential difference between equipment if you are using multiple outlets. (I have seen as much as 5vac potential difference between "ground" in different receptacles. "rare" in average residential homes)in most cases this is not a problem in a residential wiring, as the grounds are wired together at the fuse/breaker box, and there should be an earth ground rod somewhere near the electrical input to the building. if you are in an old 2 wire home you may want to have it grounded up to newer codes. the motor has a connection so you can add an earth ground to it , but this may not be necessary. I only plugged it into the wall socket as mine was grounded just fine. in a large industrial wiring there could be a potential difference between equipment if you are using multiple outlets.

I too am confused by the question. In the US, adapters are generally used to adapt two prong female (US) to three prong female (with the ground prong). So, maybe the answer is that you do not need a "adapter" (not really a true converter) at all, as you can plug in either a 3 prong male plug or a 2 prong male plug into this device (if within power limits).

It may depend on how your outlet is configured. All of my outlets are horizontal with the two prong and ground holes facing the same direction. I have the Surge Protector on the right side (maybe your top outlet), and there is enough room for another three prong (grounded) plug to fit in the left side (maybe your bottom outlet). In your scenario, this is assuming that the third prong (grounded) hole is on the bottom for each outlet. Now if you are only plugging in a two prong in the other outlet, this appears to be a non-issue. Hope this helps!

Yes, three prong fits. One hot, one neutral, one round ground. The ground snaps and makes a snug fit. I cannot guarantee the ground completes a circuit. Answer to question asked is yes.

It's the three prong, so you definitely need an outlet that can accommodate it (or an adapter). These are so convenient. I like them because I have several very large plugs that take up half the outlet and so I can't use all of the plug holes. By using one of these, none of the outlets are covered up anymore by the large ones.

As others have stated, it is left, right and ground. Right is almost always red, usually any 3.5mm plug will have a red and white or red and green wire. These are the left and right signals and should be connected as such. There is usually wire that isn't wrapped and (9 times out of 10, at least from my experience) actually hides the different channels. This would be ground, and is also thicker than each channel's wire. Hope this helps

Yes. That is how I use the item. The extension cord does accommodate the ground (3 prongs). I have had no problem. Really like the protector with it accommodating appliances requiring extra room for them to be plugged in. Works great and glad I have it.

yup. you can plug one string into another and make it longer and fits into any outlet. it has no 3rd prong. just the main 2. I used them for an outside wedding any they were nice and I attached 2 strings together to make them longer.

I noticed the same thing; so I ordered an adapter for my normal outlets. Didn't need it. It will plug into a normal three prong outlet and on the plug of the AC unit is a breaker....like a hair dryer.

It is very close. You will have to use to bottom receptacle. You should be able to plug in with a two prong plug but a three prong plug might not be able to access the receptacle.

It is 3 prong where it goes into the wall. The picture is bad, you are right. It's a very sturdy plug but only good if you don't need to actually adapt the outlet to take 3 prongs instead of 2.
