Belkin 12ft AC Replacement Power Cord (AC Male to AC Female) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this to mount a plasma TV on the wall where I needed a longer cord. This one is of good quality and comparable to the original one that came with the 50" plasma. The connectors ends are well made and the cable of thick and well constructed. All at a great price.

Apple MB974ZM/B World Travel Adapter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think the price Apple charges for this kit is expensive, but I think that applies to all Apple products, so many Apple product users may not consider that an issue (as we were willing to buy the product in the first place, right?). What I think adds to that issue is that many people may only want one adapter for one region they are travelling to. Apple does not provide an option for this, and this kit may then be overkill as a solution.
The other issue I have with this kit is that it forces you to use the full power adapter directly in the socket. This can be a major inconvenience if sockets and socket space is limited. It is for this reason that for people planning to travel to multiple regions with different plug types I suggest you consider buying Incipio Technologies TK-201 The Continental Companion Cables International Adapters for Apple Block Chargers. This gives you plugs for all regions and has thin, compact cables between the adapter and the plug. This means you can take up just one socket. I think this is important when travelling as one rarely knows what the socket situation will be in hotels, friends homes, airports, cafés, etc.. In public places especially, I have found socket space is often limited (usually by other people using them).
If you need a USB power adapter for your Apple device there are many inexpensive options available. This one (USB/AC for MP3 Players - White) for instance is very inexpensive ($2.70 as I write this) and has great ratings. This kit (Apple iPod USB Travel Kit with Car Charger/ Travel Adapter/ Cable - White) is also very cheap (a few dollars), has Amazon Prime, and includes what you may find useful for keeping your USB charged devices ready to go. As far as I can tell from the photo its upports 110 to 240 v.
I was not able to determine, however, if the USB/AC charger supports 110 to 240 volt power. This USB charger does though - Universal USB Wall Charger for Apple Ipod Mp3 Shuffle Nano Video Touch Classic Iphone.
My other tip is this:
If you are planning to just travel to one location needing a different plug type, I suggest just buying a pin adapter. I use them all the time. One like this would do the trick nicely (also has Amazon Prime option).
UPDATE (Nov 2010): I notice that the Incipio Technologies TK-201 kit I recommended as an alternative to this one is currently (and often) not available here on Amazon. You can get it at myincipio(dot)com and quite likely elsewhere on the net. Another option, however, is to simply get a compact pin adpater kit. One that is small and very inexpensive is Lenmar AC5 World Travel Adapter Plug Set. That way you take your existing plugs and things with you, and the pin adapter(s) for the countries you plan to visit. This is a perfectly viable option, because all your Apple power adapters (for iphone, ipod, macbook, etc.) will support 110 to 250v, so it is really just the pins you are needing to adapt.
I trust this has been of help to you.

Belkin F3A104-06 AC Replacement Power Cord (6 Feet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When, after moving a treadmill, I couldn't find the power cord, my first efforts were devoted to locating the manufacturer's website, phone number, mailing address, all the while wringing my hands in despair that my costly, indispensable machine had been rendered worthless due to the loss of a mere power cord, which certainly had to be custom-made to fit the opening designed for it by the makers of this aristocratic device (30 years ago I viewed all owners of treadmills as self-indulgent elitists). But while waiting for a company representative to answer one of my phone calls, it suddenly occurred to me that my father had once purchased a power cord for an old TV set at a hardware store, and with no regard even toward the make of TV.
So I looked on Amazon, instantly found something that looked promising (the description "Universal" was admittedly encouraging), and in two days both the treadmill and I were back up and running. The pedestrian exchange (in both senses of the word) would no doubt have proven satisfying to anyone of any age, generation, class, ethnicity or gender, amounting to no less than the discovery of one's autonomy in a world of high-priced experts and "gotcha" specialists. Moreover, how reassuring it is whenever one discovers and comes into possession of the knowledge that previously had no doubt belonged to everyone but your own isolated, "out-of-the-loop," lonely self. I hesitate to say whether the cord was more empowering to me or the treadmill. But don't be shocked if the product delivers what it promises--twice over.
[Since writing the above, I've discovered a company (Essential Sounds Products, Inc.) claiming its power cord is "Amazing," "Innovative," "Revolutionary"--that after using it to supply power to, for example, an amplifier, the cord's owner will settle for nothing less ("One listen, and nothing else will do"). This possibility sort of blows my tribute to the universality of the common power cord, but I remain to be sold on the new, revolutionary product. If it converts my television set to "Smell-o-vision" (for those of you old enough to remember) or my kitchen toaster to a turbo-charged forge suitable for alchemy experiments, I'll be persuaded. Return for updates.]
[Argh. The ESP (the acronym for the manufacturer) power cord begins at well over a hundred and the power strip at five hundred. I smell exploitation of musicians (and gearheads) who, like athletes, are sometimes willing to try anything for that winning edge. Better to buy this Belkin and, if it bothers you, paint it some other color and put an exorbitant price tag on it so people will think it's one of those elitist A.C. cords.]
