In short: The Lex EST6R50FT is a 50-foot molded Edison multi-tap extension cord. It has a NEMA 5-15 plug on one end and six NEMA 5-15 receptacles spaced about 10 feet apart along black #12/3 STOOW cord. Each clear receptacle has an orange LED that lights when the cord is powered. It is cULus Listed and weighs about 15 lbs.

Power where you need it

Why choose a Lex multi-receptacle extension?

A single cord with a power strip at the end leaves outlets bunched in one spot and stingers running everywhere. The EST6R50FT spreads six outlets along 50 feet, so power lands where the gear actually is, with fewer cords on the floor and fewer plug-in points to manage.

Spaced inline taps

Inline receptacles spaced about 10 feet apart distribute power evenly across a large area and eliminate cluttered plug-in points.

Lighted receptacles

Orange LED indicators in the receptacles and connector confirm at a glance that the cord is powered, even in dark backstage areas.

Heavy-duty STOOW jacket

The #12/3 STOOW jacket resists abrasion and crushing, so it holds up when it's walked on, rolled over and dragged across floors.

Molded connectors

Durable molded male and female connectors give long-lasting strain relief through repeated setup and teardown.

Right-sized lengths

Lex offers several lengths and receptacle counts, so you can match the reach of your layout and cut down on extra cord.

On set & on show

Where is a 50 ft Edison multi-tap cord used?

Lex recommends the 50-foot, 6-receptacle version for display booths and scenery work. On productions and events, it's also a fast way to power a whole area from one outlet:

  • Display booths in tents and convention centers, with an outlet at each table or display
  • Scenery and set construction, running tool power along a build area
  • Video village and DIT carts, with monitors, chargers and laptops spread along a run
  • Practicals and set dressing, powering lamps and small fixtures across a set
  • Production offices, hair and makeup, giving each station its own outlet
  • Craft services and green rooms on location and backstage

Using it safely

How much can you plug into the EST6R50FT?

All six receptacles share one circuit, so the limit is the total load, not the number of outlets.

  1. Add up everything you'll plug in. The combined draw of all six receptacles must stay within 15A, the rating of the NEMA 5-15 plug and receptacles, and within the breaker feeding the cord.
  2. Plan for continuous loads. 15A at 120V is about 1,800W. Many electricians keep continuous loads to 80%, about 12A or 1,440W.
  3. Uncoil the cord fully. Lay it out along your run rather than leaving it coiled while loaded.
  4. Check the lights. Lit receptacles confirm power. If a receptacle stays dark, check the source outlet and breaker before troubleshooting the gear.
  5. Protect it from water. Keep receptacles out of puddles and rain, and use GFCI protection where your local code requires it.

Don't feed high-draw tools or heaters from several receptacles at once. Follow your local code and venue rules.

Questions

Lex EST6R50FT frequently asked questions

What is the Lex EST6R50FT?

The Lex EST6R50FT is a 50-foot molded extension cord with a NEMA 5-15 Edison plug and six lighted NEMA 5-15 receptacles spaced about 10 feet apart. It uses black #12/3 STOOW cord, weighs about 15 lbs and is cULus Listed.

How much power can the EST6R50FT carry?

All six receptacles share one circuit, and the NEMA 5-15 plug and receptacles are rated 15A. Keep the combined load of everything plugged in within 15A, about 1,800W at 120V, and within the breaker feeding the cord. For continuous loads, many electricians stay at 80%, about 12A.

How far apart are the receptacles?

On the 50-foot, 6-receptacle EST6R50FT, the receptacles are spaced about 10 feet apart, which spreads power evenly across a large area.

What do the orange lights on the receptacles mean?

The orange LED indicators light up when the cord is powered. They give a quick visual check that power is present, even in dark backstage areas.

What cord does the EST6R50FT use?

It uses black #12/3 STOOW cord. The heavy-duty jacket resists abrasion and crushing, and STOOW cord is oil resistant and rated for outdoor use.

Can I use the EST6R50FT outdoors?

The STOOW cord jacket is rated for outdoor use, but the NEMA 5-15 receptacles are not waterproof. Keep the receptacles dry and off wet ground, and use GFCI protection where your local code requires it.

Is the Lex EST6R50FT UL listed?

Yes. The EST6R50FT is cULus Listed for use in the United States and Canada.

Does Lex make shorter versions?

Yes. The EST3R25FT has three receptacles on 25 feet of cord, and the EST6R23FT has six receptacles on 23 feet, spaced closer together for applications like orchestra pit music stand lights.
