Ground on "type E" plug adapter
I brought to the US a French Belkin F7C01008 power-strip with a "type E" plug. I got an adapter for US plugs, however it lacks the "male grounding pin" that the French type E plug expects. Although the plug does fit, and the adapter can be used, the power-strip LED indicates it's not grounded.
Does an adapter for type E plugs to US plugs with a male grounding pin exist, and will it allow my power-strip to be grounded? I can't seem to find one anywhere online.
