A twofer is a special power cord that splits a single power source into two, with one male connector electrically connected to two female connectors through two separate cables or sets of sleeved wires. Plugged into one outlet, the twofer provides two outlets, allowing two fixtures or devices to be powered from a single source. It is widely used in stage and production lighting to feed two lights from one circuit or dimmer.
Because it branches one feed into two, a twofer must be used within the current rating of the source circuit, since both connected loads draw from the same supply. The construction, with two cables joining at the single male connector, makes it a convenient splitter for power distribution.
In commercial event and production settings, twofers distribute power to multiple fixtures from limited outlets or dimmers. Recognizing the term helps in understanding how power is split among lighting loads.
