Detail 01
16 gauge
Thinner wire than 14 or 12 gauge. Fine for amps and small rigs, not for heavy current loads.

ProCoExtension Cord Standard Ends 16 Gauge 12 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-foot, 16-gauge extension cord with standard household ends. For getting stage power from a wall outlet to an amp, pedalboard, or keyboard rig.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Reaching a wall outlet a few steps behind your amp
- Powering a pedalboard supply from an offstage strip
- Rehearsal spaces where outlets are never where you need them
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- High-draw gear like heaters or large power amps, 16 gauge is too thin
- Long runs across a big stage, 12 feet goes quickly
- Outdoor gigs unless the cord is rated for wet conditions
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
12 ft. length
Enough to cross behind a backline or reach one outlet over. Shorter than it sounds once it is routed.
Detail 03
Standard ends
Ordinary household plug and socket. No locking, no twist-lock, no IEC.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Blends into a dark stage, which is good for looks and bad for spotting a trip hazard.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Add up the wattage of everything you plug in and stay well under the cord's rating
- 02This is one outlet, not a power strip. No surge protection included
- 03Tape or mat it down anywhere people walk
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I run my tube amp off this?
A typical guitar amp draws far less than this cord's limit, so yes. Add a second amp, a power conditioner, and stage lighting to the same cord and you are pushing it.
02Is 16 gauge good enough?
For low-draw gear over 12 feet, yes. Gauge matters most with high current and long distance, and this is neither.
03Can I daisy-chain two of these?
It works electrically for light loads, but every added length and connection increases voltage drop and heat. Use one longer cord instead when you can.
04Will this work outdoors?
Only if it is rated for outdoor use. Indoor-rated jackets are not built for moisture or sun, so check the cord itself before an outdoor gig.
