Yeah, not what I need. I need NEMA 5-15 to CAT6 adapter

Alternatively, One can plug one end in, then you have a creative new way to parent.

"Didn't mow the lawn? C'mere Billy, hold out your palm."

Unless one of your outlets is wired backwards, plugging this into 2 outlets on the same side of your electrical panel won't do anything.

If you were able to plug it into outlets on different sides of your panel, then you just created a 240v short and the cable is going to be real-spicy real-quick.

Unless you accidentally touch one of the prongs after plugging one end in... 😅

Would that only happen if one outlet were wired backwards (hot to neutral and vice-versa)?

If both outlets are wired correctly, as I'm envisioning it, the extension cord is parallel to the existing branch.

Same if both outlets are wired (the same) incorrectly.

But if one outlet is wired correctly and one has its poles swapped, then you are shorting hot directly to neutral...

But also being a 3-prong outlet...assuming everything is wired correctly...the short would either be redirected to ground and either trip the breaker or trigger a GFCI...no?

IANAElectrician. Just a high dude thinking about circuits.

Worth mentioning that the point of a suicide cord like this isn't to connect two outlets together...really no reason to do that...it's usually used to hook up a generator (or other load-center, like say a campground plug) to a branch circuit when the home/rv/load doesn't have an inlet. It's also extremely dangerous if used incorrectly, and there are several ways to very easily use it incorrectly.

Worth mentioning that they are absolutely not safe as the exposed prongs are energised. They are called suicide cords for a reason. All it takes is to plug the cord into a running generator or working outlet first and the exposed terminals are now live.

Its also worth noting that they very often kill linesmen working to desire the utility because people use them to hook up their generators without turning off their main breaker which back feeds onto the grid.

Proper generator inlets are very readily available and if you don't want to go that route, just plug your fridge and other important devices into your generator with extension cords.

Murphy's law says it will be used wrong, and as such it is a bad design and a bad idea.

There are alternatives that are better, this has only the advantage of being cheap.

send a picture to the fire department?

When USB-C-compliant devices are connected, they have to negotiate which side is upstream and which is downstream. So yes, they're hermaphroditic, just like snails.

In contrast, the non-compliant USB A-to-A cable that Ugreen uses with its own devices is closer to hyenas. If you know, you know... and don't you wish you didn't.

that "kinda sorta" is doing a lot of work there.
