Abstract: An extension cord with integral monitoring system including a male connector having a pair of strip contacts. Such contacts include a neutral strip contact and a line strip contact. Further included is a female connector having a pair of receiving contacts residing within a pair of apertures formed therein. The contacts include a neutral receiving contact and a line receiving contact. Further included is a cable coupled between the male connector and the female connector. The cable has a neutral wire electrically connected between the neutral strip contact of the male connector and the neutral receiving contact of the female connector and a line wire electrically connected between the line strip contact of the male connector and the line receiving contact of the female connector. Next provided is a voltage monitor for indicating the presence of a voltage at the contacts of the female connector thereby signaling that the male connector is in proper electrical communication with the electrical receptacle.
