Power splitter Elgotech GN-50 — 5-socket adapter for extension cord

Elgotech GN-50 is a compact 5-socket power splitter designed to connect directly to an extension cord and provide five AC outlets from a single plug. The adapter allows simultaneous connection of several electrical devices, increasing available socket capacity without modifying existing wiring. Its space-saving form factor makes it suitable for locations where an additional number of outlets is required temporarily or permanently.

Advantages

The five-socket configuration provides efficient distribution of power to multiple devices while maintaining a small footprint. The device is simple to install — it attaches to the end of an extension cord to expand one inlet into five outlets. Because it is passive and mechanical in design, it does not require additional installation work or tools. The compact construction facilitates placement behind furniture or on a workbench and reduces the need for multiple extension leads.

Suitable for

• Home use: powering lamps, phone chargers, and small appliances
• Office workstations: connecting monitors, printers, and chargers
• Workshops and hobby spaces: supplying power to small tools and equipment
• Temporary event setups: audio equipment, lighting, and staging devices

Key specifications

• Number of sockets: 5
• Connection type: adapter for attachment to an extension cord inlet
• Form factor: compact splitter design
• Intended use: indoor electrical outlet expansion
• Compatibility: designed to fit standard extension cord plugs and sockets

How to use

To use the Elgotech GN-50, attach the adapter to the outlet end of a compatible extension cord so that the extension cord's plug or inlet engages securely with the splitter. Ensure the extension cord and connected devices match the local mains voltage and do not exceed the safe combined current rating of the extension cord and splitter. Insert device plugs into the splitter's five sockets and verify connections are firm. Place the assembled setup on a stable, dry surface and avoid covering the adapter to reduce heat buildup.

Usage recommendations

Do not exceed the total current capacity of the extension cord or the splitter; distribute high-power appliances across separate circuits when possible. Use the adapter only indoors, keep it away from moisture and heat sources, and inspect it periodically for damage. For high-power equipment, consider a dedicated outlet or professionally installed power distribution.
