Gun safe power cord

Bought a new safe.
What are you guys using for power strips inside your safes?

Looking to plug in lights, golden rods and maybe dehumidifier.

See some on Amazon but they look kinda janky.

Thanks

I just took a power strip and took it apart then ran the cable into the safe and put it back together.

I got some double-sided Gorilla Tape and that's what I mounted it on the inside of the safe with.

It doesn't look pretty, I mean if you went digging around on the back wall of the safe with a flashlight and found it, but it works well.

For what we are paying for RSC/Safes, they really should come with a factory-installed powerstrip and UL cordthrough a rated grommet.

Like as not, the cost of that rated grommet, and the need to make a channel for the cord on at least one of the faces of the container are what prevent that. The radius of the wire bends wanted are getting to the limits of where a decent electrical cord can stand--especially a rated cord.

I know a fellow amateur radio operator that had a fire in his garage where the radios were. The cause appeared to be a power strip of some sort. Mind the quality when you purchase one. I do not know the brand of strip.

I only needed two outlets. One for lights and one for the heating rod. I used a 97 cent extension cord. I cut the plug off and replaced it with a DIY replaceable plug from the hardware store.
