Electrical question

[JaredOzzy]

Hey guys so I just wanna know before I got cut up some good kettle plugs.

Would it work if I connect two kettle females to one another? I want to connect my TV to my UPS. I've done kettle to figure 8 cords before for my ps4 and ps3 and that works great.

I would think it would work, but im no electrical engineer

as long as you keep your pins correct, can't see why not

I want to do something similar in the sense of making a multi plug's 3-prong to female also to use on UPS, for our router and switch

Thanks. Ill give it a shot a little later.

Yeah its so simple to cut up wires and reuse them for what you want. Don't know why I always used to go buy it lol.

Are you sure the power out on the UPS needs a female plug? It should be a male, things are designed so that prongs can never be live when not plugged in.

You can, but its weird that your would do female to female. UPS generally have female outlets so you cant fry yourself. The same with the kettle plugs that go into PSUs. So in other words you normalle need a male-female cable (which is the same as an extension) like this: UPS Female -> Cord Male -> Cord Female -> TV Male

I think the ups I have has more than one male insert. I must actually have a look before I cut. I'm starting to think you guys are right... 😅

Okay I just checked and I had it all wrong. Seems like my TV and monitor don't even use kettles and use 2 prong plugs instead. Now I need to figure out how the hell do I connect a 2 prong to a kettle to get it in my UPS which is a male(I was wrong hahaha). I did find a male to female adapter though.
