We have all heard the saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” There is a lot of truth in that statement and it especially applies to products that counterfeiters target. Shockingly, counterfeiters do not just target name brand tennis shoes or cell phones. They also target products like power cords. Stay Online takes this very seriously and we pride ourselves on selling the highest quality power cords available. Our power cords are safe and we supply any necessary documentation like Certificates of Conformance, drawings, certifications, and more, because we have full traceability back to our factory.
Counterfeit cords are not safe because the manufacturers making them are only interested in making money. They do not care about the quality (or lack thereof) of the materials used in the production of the cord or the danger a counterfeit cord presents to the end user.
Unfortunately, many purchasers assume a power cord is just a power cord. It rarely enters someone’s mind that a power cord could be dangerous. In fact, purchasers are usually focused on the bottom line and when they find a power cord that is cheap they think they have hit the jackpot. However, counterfeit cords are manufactured by cutting corners. Sub-par materials are used, insulation is minimal, and once the cord is plugged in, it can overheat and cause an electrical fire in just minutes.
A high quality power cord costs more money than a counterfeit cord because it is made with quality materials to ensure it is safe and will perform as designed. When you find power cords for sale for rock bottom prices that should immediately sound an alarm for you. Also, be sure to request a signed Certificate of Conformance and always inspect your power cords to ensure they are made of high quality materials and that the specs for the cord are accurate and safe. Always trust your gut and if it seems too good to be true… well, you get the picture.
