Hello,
I came across an extension cord with a metal cap over a thin rubber insulator in a laboratory and thought to share it here to see if it is code-compliant or safe. It didn't look as such, since the configuration appeared to be quite unreliable and the conductor prone to exposure if a wire gets bare for any reason:
Thanks.
