CyberPower GT1W2PK Plug Adapter
Overview
The CyberPower GT1W2PK is a 2-pack of white, polarized 3-prong to 2-prong plug adapters. This accessory allows you to connect devices with a standard 3-prong grounded plug into older 2-prong outlets. It's designed for situations where you need to power legacy equipment that lacks a grounding pin but requires a polarized plug for correct orientation. The unit accepts a NEMA 5-15P plug and converts it to a NEMA 5-15R receptacle.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with any standard NEMA 5-15P plug, which is common on many consumer electronics and older appliances. It converts a 3-prong connection to a 2-prong polarized connection, suitable for devices that require a polarized plug for safety and correct electrical flow. It is rated for 125V AC and 60 Hz, making it suitable for standard North American power circuits. It is not designed for non-polarized plugs or for use with GFCI outlets where grounding is specifically required.
Installation Notes
The adapter accepts a NEMA 5-15P grounded plug. Ensure the outlet you are connecting to is rated for 15A and 125V. The adapter itself is rated for 15A. Do not exceed the adapter's current rating. The physical dimensions are compact: 27mm wide, 45mm deep, and 39mm high, with a 1cm diameter for the plug portion. Note that using this adapter bypasses the grounding connection of the connected device, which may increase risk in certain environments or with sensitive electronics.
