I would like to use this for a situation where a minimum 14AWG extension cord is required. Would this power strip satisfy that requirement?

14AWG should be handling up to 15A, I don't think this will be a good solution for that kind of amperage. I would suggest buying a single outlet extension wire for such purposes. I am not an expert, so please check some more

It actually depends on the power strip you have, some power strips have more space between each plug-in than some power strips so the answer is yes.

yah 14 to 15 dont even try to use it with anything less than a 12 guage wire and 50ft extension cord. if you have anything else on that circuit it will just pop the circuit

For the cord length of 15 feet, the 14 gauge wire is fine. Manufacturer Carol Cable recommends 14 gauge as ok for 15 amps, for extension cords to 50 feet.

I would say no but only because most extension cords are usually too thick. If it's an extension cord that's old and only has two wires you could possibly get away with it

I believe so, most cables are 15 or 20 Amps. I bought mine as a shortened connection between my Belkins power strip and Blue Tooth and Cable Box. It works fine for that.

The cord is not too long about 4 to 5 feet. If you decide to use an extension cord make sure it is a heavy duty cord with at least 12 guage wire.

I have mine plugged into a power strip and it works perfectly fine. An extension cord should work just as well.

I didn't use an extension cord, so I really don't know. Looking at both ends of the wire, I don't know if you could use an extension.

Yes of course. It's no different than any other power strip (besides the convenience of the extra long cord :).

3 16ft. strips might be too drawing too much power, if you run two at the max, you shouldnt have a problem.

That's what I am doing. No problems till now. It also depends on the quality of extension cord and what else you are connecting to it (if using an extension board with more than 1 plug points. I am using an extension board made for computers, with surge protection.

Yes it will need to be fairly close to an ac outlet. It does come with a power adaptor and cord. I'm not sure of the total length but I think it's about four feet long.

I am an electrician, it will pull about 13.5 amps on high. A standard residential circuit will handle it, IF, there is nothing else being used on that circuit. A good condition 14 guage grounded extension cord will work if it is 50 feet or less. Buy the shortest cord that gets the job done and I don't recommend going over 50 ft.

assume you wall outlets will power other devices (ie, night lite). length of cable, within reason, should pose no problem. power adapter or 2400 unit possibly bad. may have to return for repair. with shipping cost, etc.... If it were me, I'd go to radio shack and pick up cheap 15 VDC 300 to 500MA adapter and try it on unit....you would need to adapt to coax = tell salesman what your doing = maybe he can help.

Like everyone else says, it works no problem with a power strip as long as you don't exceed total watts. I have several electronic items plugged into mine through a power strip.

This power strip is not designed for appliances, small or large. They draw too much amperage and should be plugged directly into a 3-wire grounded wall outlet with a 15-20 amp circuit and breaker. That being said, it will work but is a poor alternative to a wall outlet. It represents and element of potential fire hazard. Stop by your local fire department for real world info about what power strips should and should not be used for.
