Generally, it is safe to plug a power cord into an extension cord, provided you use a high-quality extension cord that supports the electrical capacity and requirements of your power strip. However, ensure the extension cord has sufficient load capacity to handle all connected devices, as overloading can lead to electrical issues or safety hazards. For example, many Anker power strips, like the Anker 521 Power Strip, have specific output limits (e.g., AC outlets: 1250W max). Verify the wattage and amp rating of the extension cord to ensure compatibility and avoid exceeding the limits. Always prioritize safety and use extension cords that meet safety standards.
