Mainline Power Tracks vs. Extension cords

January 19, 2020 by Jasmine Bautista

Most people compare the power tracks to extension cords. We’re giving you a comprehensive comparison of the two, to give you a clearer difference between them.

Amperes

A typical extension cord sold in the market can only handle 13-18 amperes. A meter long power track can handle up to 32 amps. Extension cords can’t handle so much energy because of its thin wires. 

Meanwhile, Mainline power tracks have thick copper wires and durable material inside it. Know more about our product by booking a product demonstration. Simply send an email to [email protected] to schedule your product demo.

 

Safety

A simple splash on your extension cord can damage the gadget you’ve plugged in. It can even cause electrocution, and it can ruin the extension itself, prompting you to buy another one. Faulty electrical wiring is also one of the top causes of fire in the country. 

Extension cords also have long wires that your child might trip on, or anyone in your home. You can tie these wires together to make the wire shorter and avoid tripping on them, but this defeats the purpose of an extension cord. 

However, Mainline power tracks are splash-proof, child-safe, and fire-safe. It even passed international safety standards. Click here to learn more on the power track’s safety. 

Durability

Your typical extension cord can last up to 5 years if you use it carefully, and you monitor the gadgets you are plugging in. For warranties, they usually give you 1 year-replacement warranty. 

Mainline Power tracks can last more than 5 years. Its power sockets can last up to 30,000 twists. To give you a clearer picture, even if you remove and reposition the socket 5 times a day for a year, that’s only 1,825 twists. With that, it can last up to 15 years. Moreover, we provide 5 years warranty for the power track, and 1 year for the power sockets.

 

Price

Meanwhile, the average price of an extension cord with 4 outlets is P350. If you you’re buying extension cords for all the rooms in your home, you can spend up to P1750. 

Mainline power tracks are sold for P4864 per meter, and the power sockets are sold for P1500 each (minimum cost is P6384 per meter).  However, if you think of the safety that the power track can guarantee, you might be saving yourself a lot of money in the long run.
