Adapter

Connector which allows two or more electrical devices to be connected to a single power outlet.  The connection is normally parallel, that is, each device is fed the same voltage, but the current is divided between them.  Sometimes known as a TWO-FER.  A three-way splitter is known as a THREE-FER.  A Series splitter is also available where a voltage is shared equally between two loads.
