multiple leads or extensions Explanation: タコ足配線 multiple leads or extensions (from GLOVA). It's when you have multiple double-adapters, etc. all connected together from a single power outlet. The ideal situation is where only a single plug is connected to the outlet (instead of multiple extension boards, double adapters, etc.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2007-03-17 08:55:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For pic, see http://fire.city.kanazawa.ishikawa.jp/prevent/point/point_pi... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2007-03-17 09:04:02 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- No probs, but be careful with the wording. Note that you can have タコ足（脚）配線 with no extension cords at all (this can occur on a wall outlet, etc.) so a 'multi-outlet extension cord' is actually describing a different thing (see http://images.google.com/images?q=multi-outlet extension cor... ) Reference: http://trans.glova.jp |
