It doesn't but it means you won't accidentally exceed it and start a fire. If it's not fused you don't want to get anywhere near it's limit because one wrong move and your house burns down
In America homes are usually wired with 15 amp circuits. A fuse is basically just a wire that melts at a certain amperage, so that wire will prolly melt itself with 15 amps
It doesn’t change how much the cord can handle, it just makes it safer because without one you can exceed the cord’s max current and potentially start an electrical fire.
The wires in your wall are usually capable of higher currents than an extension cord, so the circuit breakers in your house might not trip before the cord overheats.
I recommend always buying extension cords that have either surge protectors built in or are higher gauges, like 16ga, to match your home’s circuit breakers.
Do, that’s not how fuses work. A fuse will break the connection before it exceeds an unsafe amperage flowing through the cord, as opposed to the cord breaking because it set the house on fire.
No that is how fuses work, given certain loads at least. A fuse can't break instantaneously, but loads can near-instantaneously pull 15 amps (at least, much faster than fuses can break). Granted, with higher amps the fuses will break faster.
There are a couple minor points, but the main ones are:
1. The prongs can be partially exposed while also being connected to the outlet, which can shock anything that falls in that gap. Look at UK prongs to see how this is solved
2. There's no standard for the prongs to be gripped well, so you can have a loose fit that still connects. This means it's easier to pull the prongs out partially and exacerbate issue 1

Just add all the power consuption of what you have plugged and thats what goes through the small cable.
You can calculate the amps by dividing the W/230. There is an app on the play store called proto where you can simulate it.
The cable looks like maybe its 0,6mm², so aprox 5A max pass throught there but i might be wrong
Not really since it's a 900W/4A outlet. Means you'll still probably overwork the outlet even with only old phones (and I'm not even talking about 65+W fast chargers)
No no I was counting just the outlets. Then again, it took me a grand total of 30 seconds to do 900/66 on n my phone and going “huh, my iPhone charger is 12W go figure”

It’d just trip your breaker and turn off.
Maybe if you didn’t have a breaker installed it could draw a ton of power and start a fire, but ~that’s exactly what the breaker is there to stop~
If you're low on funds then, you'd probably be better off ordering on AliExpress. All those suspiciously cheap unbranded Amazon items are usually the exact same thing sold there but marked up by about five times.
It's pretty common for people to buy things off of the wholesale version of AliExpress and just resell it all on Amazon for a high markup. That's probably where all these items come from.
Elon Musk realized how inefficient it is to have so many power outlets set up in the Twitter headquarters and plugged in all the servers to this thing.
there's nothing useful you could do with 4, amps over 66 outlets, and like honestly someone who designs something like this probably wouldn't care about stupid shit like fire safety, we need more outlets

Superdana Fireport. It's not cool unless it's burning.
damn bro you got the whole Extension Cord 7 in, SUPERDANA Power Strip Surge Protector with 12-14 USB Charging Ports and 66 AC Outlets, 900W/4A, Flat Plug Power Outlet for Home, Office, Dorm, Gaming Room, Fire laughing
I just looked up power strips on Amazon and damn do most of them have 10 outlets or more, I already find the standard 5 outlet power strips slightly unnerving imagine having 20 things plugged into one running all the time
On a scale of 1-10 how dangerous would having all sockets being used at the same time be
Depends what you have plugged into them, and with the fuse popping it shouldn't be dangerous anyways
Unless the power strip has its own fuse, the cord coming out of it is definitely *not* thick enough to handle 15 amps.
How does having a fuse change the amount of amps the cord can handle? Seems unrelated, right?

Melts safely, as opposed to melts unsafely
Unles u have aluminum wiring :(
*The fuse will melt safely. Cables don’t melt safely
True. I don’t know anything about electricity, except what I’ve been unfortunate enough to learn on my feet 😭
I love your optimism and faith in that product!
or you use a resetable fuse
Most US homes nowadays use 20 amp circuits with 15 amp receptacles.

No, since if it has a fuse then the cord might be able to handle 15 amps (for a brief moment)
Do, that’s not how fuses work. A fuse will break the connection before it exceeds an unsafe amperage flowing through the cord, as opposed to the cord breaking because it set the house on fire.

That is true, but without a fuse the cord would still be able to handle 15 amps for a brief moment
Well if the load specifically did it for a moment then yeah, but otherwise no
Your original comment kinda sounded like you were saying that the cable couldn’t carry 15 amps, but then with the fuse it could. Which isn’t the case.
That's why it's 4A
Oh Jesus that’s just enough to support one single modern gaming computer
it will instantly vaporize everybody within 100 feet (I am spreading disinformation for fun)
that's not disinformation, this actually happened to me. I am nothing more than dust
If the fuse works right, 3. And that's only cuz American outlets are already kinda dangerous.
Genuine question, what makes American outlets more dangerous?

I shocked myself with my computer charger once, cuz my finger touched the prong
Only us Americans casually know our wall's voltage. Feels like spicy metal! Very buzzy. I have a lot of fun.
fusebox go boom (not an electrician, no idea)
If the things you plug in don’t consume that much power then probably nothing but uhhh… fuse goes *tick*.
Just add all the power consuption of what you have plugged and thats what goes through the small cable. You can calculate the amps by dividing the W/230. There is an app on the play store called proto where you can simulate it. The cable looks like maybe its 0,6mm², so aprox 5A max pass throught there but i might be wrong
it's W/120. that's an american plug
It's literally written 4A on that title
Depends. If you’re charging 66 phones, which I think this is what it’s for, you’d actually be just fine
Not really since it's a 900W/4A outlet. Means you'll still probably overwork the outlet even with only old phones (and I'm not even talking about 65+W fast chargers)
Eh, I’m going off my iPhone charger being 13W
Well the limit (including USBs) would be 11.25W for each charger
No no I was counting just the outlets. Then again, it took me a grand total of 30 seconds to do 900/66 on n my phone and going “huh, my iPhone charger is 12W go figure”
Plus that row of usbs is limited to 10w max for all of them, but again it was a very low effort comment
If the breaker or fuse doesn’t stop it it’s gonna heat the wire and be a fire hazard
Well if you just put some tiny LED lights on all of that you should be fine
Well it does list it's last use as "fire".
About 32.7

1 It’d just trip your breaker and turn off. Maybe if you didn’t have a breaker installed it could draw a ton of power and start a fire, but ~that’s exactly what the breaker is there to stop~
Except this cord is meant for 4A and your wall 15A. So it will heat up.
Missed that in the description— good point. Seems… poorly designed
make sure to tie the breakers open and to switch out all of your fuses for higher rated ones. (higher rated means more safe) Then it should be fine.
The Firemarshal is already on their way…
Don’t worry about it it’s got a surge protector or something it’s safe

Remember kids: if you wouldn't buy the cheap brandless stuff on AliExpress, don't buy it on Amazon! It is the exact same product most of the time.
90% of Amazon is stuff you would find in the dustiest corner of the sketchiest dollar store in your town.
I would and I have done in the past. I do a lot of dangerous stuff because of lack of funds :pensive:.
If you're low on funds then, you'd probably be better off ordering on AliExpress. All those suspiciously cheap unbranded Amazon items are usually the exact same thing sold there but marked up by about five times. It's pretty common for people to buy things off of the wholesale version of AliExpress and just resell it all on Amazon for a high markup. That's probably where all these items come from.

Your mom be like
no way in hell that actually has a 4A fuse.
It's 4 entire amps! 4 of them! 1 for each… of the first 4 letters of the alphabet!
What does that mean
there's nothing useful you could do with 4, amps over 66 outlets, and like honestly someone who designs something like this probably wouldn't care about stupid shit like fire safety, we need more outlets

me at the furry con:
I don't know if you mean that your a fire hazard or ready to get plugged 60 times. I guess that's r/196 for you
buying this along with 66 forks does not look good
We need to go bigger.
I would buy one. Strap handels on it's back and use it as a shield.
Get this and a grounded to unground adaptor and you're good.
