Adapter

[VXtanyaXV]

Hi,
I have an electrical plug that looks like the female end of a computer power cord:
The plugs (holes) are closer together than regular 3-holed plugs. (It is 115v)

I need to get something (an adapter (?)) so I can plug the usual 3 pronged (male) plug (or in this case a 2 pronged plug) into it.

I do not know what I should look for?
Please advise
Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for replying and for the links.

What is the name or model number for the power cord receptacles for computers?
And for the 3-prong / plug household cords / ends?

The problem turns out to be requirement for a GFCI plug.
I read there is a button on the plug that can be seen if it is a GFCI. - I do not see any although it is supposed to be a GFCI
"The National Electrical Code requires the use of ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets outdoors"

I guess an adapter would not be able to convert a non-GFCI nto a GFCI (of the household type)

Thanks
