In short: The Lex EST6R23FT is a 23-foot molded Edison "orchestra string" extension cord built for music stand lights in orchestra pits. It has a NEMA 5-15 plug and six NEMA 5-15 receptacles spaced about 4 ft 8 in apart along black #12/3 STOOW cord, so there's an outlet at every stand. Each clear receptacle has an orange LED that lights when the cord is powered. It is cULus Listed and weighs about 7 lbs.
Made for the pit
A row of music stands usually means a tangle of stand-light cords and power strips under musicians' feet. The EST6R23FT puts an outlet roughly every stand width along one cord, so each stand light plugs in right where it sits. One cord replaces the tangle, and the lighted receptacles show it's live even in a dark pit.
Six receptacles about 4 ft 8 in apart line up with a row of music stands, chairs or workstations, eliminating cluttered plug-in points.
Orange LED indicators in the receptacles and connector confirm at a glance that the cord is powered, even in a dark pit or backstage.
The #12/3 STOOW jacket resists abrasion and crushing, so it holds up to chair legs, feet and rolling cases.
Durable molded male and female connectors give long-lasting strain relief through nightly setup and strike.
At 23 feet and about 7 lbs, it's easy to coil, carry and store with the rest of the pit gear.
Listed for the US and Canada, made for entertainment and industrial use.
Pit, stage & set
Lex recommends the EST6R23FT for music stand lights in orchestra pits. Its close spacing also works anywhere a short row of devices needs power:
Using it safely
All six receptacles share one circuit, so the limit is the total load, not the number of outlets. LED music stand lights draw very little, so a full row is usually only a small fraction of the cord's capacity.
Follow your local code and venue rules.
