Hello everyone,
I'm checking if a 10-feet long cable with three male prongs connected to a two-prong female extension cord adapter is available. I need some references.

Is this the orientation you're seeking but in a cord?

2 prong MALE fits well in 3 prong holes without needing an adapter for this kind of connection. You already have 3 prong holes and a 2 prong male, so you can simply insert the 2 prong into the 3 prong outlet.

I understand, I don't think an adapter is necessary. However, I'm curious—does such a thing even exist?

If possible, capture a few images illustrating the connections you intend to use. You may upload photos through imgur (www.imgur.com). It’s unclear why there’s such emphasis on "I WANT ONE!!" when it doesn’t seem necessary. Just remember that setting up different electrical connections might break rules and could lead to serious issues.
