I'm going to be doing some traveling and want to know if this would be a good cord to use as an extension for a universal surge protection/power strip

Its not tiny so it depends on what type of travelling and what you plan on using it for. It will work fine as long as you're not pulling huge amounts of power, ie power tools or large motors. Just depends on how much space you have.

I think so. I sure mine for an extension cord that runs a cross where there is a lot of foot traffic. You could always sure some double sided tape to secure it in place if you would like.

I say "yes" by implication and design. Read the following review of the Accell: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-travel-power-strip-with-usb/Neither the review nor the company website specifically state that the USB outlets are surge protected, so you have to draw your own conclusion OR contact Accell support.

Should work fine as long as your extension has a 3-prong for the ground. The cord on the monster surge protector is quite long to, I'm not certain but they may be available with different length cords.

Probably not, but I always carry several different type adapters when I travel to Europe, because some hotels are older than others. This power strip is so handy for multiple gadgets that need recharging! Camera, phone, etc.

Yes I would think so. Look at a close up of this extension cord plug and notice the pin shapes and orientations. This 30 amp power cord is one that is commonly used on RV's and campground hookups.

It might be a good fit. The advantage of the Pivot Power is that it can pivot around objects on your counter, accommodate the large 'brick' plugs on some devices, and provide surge protection. But it is not the smallest power strip available. I am very happy with the one that I have.

It is a surge protector, so from what I understand it is better to plug it into this than just the wall or a regular extension cord.

I made some search and find an article which might answer your question. I hope it helps! http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-surge-protector/

Its a power strip and not a surge protector. But,traveling in Europe you discover electrical outlets are few and far between. This device allows multiple units to be charged from a single outlet, yet compact enough to throw in an overnight bag. Remember, its a power strip not an adapter or converter.

if it's "120volt" then the most it will be is what the amperage of the receptacle says it is- which is rarely over 20 amps- this particular plug / cord combo is rated over 40 amps- so to me, for your needs, is overkill - but of the choice on a cord of over or under I would prefer over.

I don't think so, I use it as an adapter. I don't think it has the ability to be a proper surge protector. That is an opinion not a fact.

Also looking for this. Starting to wonder if it's not a true surge protector, and just has a simple fuse like most power strips.

Yes. This is heavier duty, and the longer you run an extension cord the heavier duty it should be. If anything this will give you an extra measure of safety.

It depends on the equipment. Check the manual to see if it's designed for high voltages. Then if all you need is a plug adapter then yes. If no I have seen a small travel voltage converter here on Amazon and that is what you'll need.

this is equivalent to going to an auto parts store and saying, 'I need a tire'. All I can say is that the 115 outlets are industry standard for standard extension cords. I have NO clue as to what other 'power cord', amps rating, volts rating, length or socket type you might be referring to. regrets.

The product description claims that the strip offers over-current protection, though I have not had any power surges that have tested the strip. I currently have it plugged into a surge protector and I am having no problems.
