Use of short (< 12") extension cord on back of Back-UPS 700

[Anonymous user]

I have a modem that has the transformer built-in to the power cord at the plug (male) end.  My question is: can I connect a short (12") extension cord (3-prong) to the large modem plug and then plug the extension cord's male end into the back-side of the 700?

Hi Rolf , 

there should be no problem, you have to make sure not to invest any of the cables, and make sure that the transformer has the same voltage as the ups,

Hi Cristian... what does "invest any of the cables" mean?

[BillP]

it means that if you have 3 color cables ( line, neutral and ground) make sure that you are  uniting line with line , neutral with neutral and ground with ground,
