NXOE Is Really Getting My Freaking Nerve

@TechSGT1

Extension cords should be fine if they don't have a surge protector. Surge protectors can lower the voltage or current going through which can leave your device with not enough juice to keep all things up and running.

EvilManiacBoss:

There are some of us that DO NOT LIKE the new cord for the XBOX One: The thing is TOO SHORT and also is sometimes loosened from the power brick. If they made the cord a six-footer, It would be long enough to be able to plug into any outlet, and would not
require the use of extension cords. Make the Darn thing like the 360's cord, and it would be great - my brick has fallen twice from the table that it sits on, so I have to use a heavy extension cord on mine because the cord is inferior /short and does not
allow the brick to sit on the floor on its own.

Some of us however, have to use surge surpressors / power strips because the building power is flakey - I would much rather replace a $30 -60 strip then have to replace the power brick - and as I have been looking around, there is no real way for us to provide
feedback on the system - you go to the feedback site, and all you see is feedback on what they posted - irritating at best - I paid over $500 for a system with a stinkin' short cord?

I do not have instant on but do have it connected to a surge protector.

not all extension cords are created equal , use the shortest one possible , grounded and heavy duty enough to carry the amps required ...

Hi TechSGT1, Thank you for your post today.

You can use a extension lead as long it is not surge protected at your own risk or the recommended thing is to have the Xbox power supply cable plugged directly into the wall socket, I respect what you are saying but I just informing people what is
safe & recommended by Microsoft.
