I've got some new sectional seating and there's not a lot of clearance underneath. The old seating had enough room to allow for an Anker 4-port USB charger being plugged into an extension cord, but not the new ones.
I generally like to use as few cords as possible, especially for stuff tucked under furniture. That and use zip-ties to keep things from being unplugged or otherwise disturbed when cleaning is being done.
Most electrical extension cords put their sockets on horizontally. Like this: http://www.amazon.com/GE-51954-feet-Extension-Cord/dp/B00178HJ6C
Has anyone seen any that put the sockets on with a vertical orientation? As in, the cord lying flat with the socket prongs suitable for plugging this charger into it, also lying flat.
I'll probably have to switch to using a Y-splitter like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DRQT4UG
Which would work, of course, but adds to the rats nest of wiring bunched under there.
The charger is feeding two wireless charging pads in an end table, along with a loose 30-pin iPad cable. I could rearrange things a bit to just run AC into the end table and put the charger in there, and use a separate one for the iPad cable. I already have the gear necessary for that.
But it occurs to me there could well be the kind of cord I'm looking for out there already. Anyone seen such a thing?
