It isn't clear that its a male and female end.

Put a bunch of TV equipment in front of the plugs and let one of your kids add a nintendo, or whatever they play now and hope he doesn't unplug the wrong cord.

Or, when the owner/installer moves away and takes all his cords, it'll be a good head scratcher for the new owner and his electrician.

It is permanently installed wiring supplied by an extension cord where flexibility isn't needed. Two thumbs down!

Wouldn't pass in Canada. I'll bet that it wouldn't in US, either.

Not a risk, because the "exposed" end is ALWAYS unenergized. It's no more dangerous than the plug on an unplugged lamp. There's no way anyone can get shocked by this.
