Cable Leader 15ft NEMA 1-15P to IEC C7 Power Extension Cord 18 AWG Black

What this cord replaces

The Cable Leader 15 ft NEMA 1-15P to IEC 60320 C7 cord supplies a non-polarised figure-8 connection for laptop power bricks, notebooks, printers and other double-insulated electronics that use a C7 inlet. It is a direct replacement AC cord rated at 125.00 volts and 10 amps. The UL listed assembly uses 18 AWG copper conductors inside an SJT jacket rated for 105C and 300V.

Gauge choice and daily use

At 18 AWG the cord handles up to 10 A, which suits light electronics such as laptop adapters; heavier computers, servers or 20 A equipment need 16 AWG, 14 AWG or 12 AWG cables instead. The non-polarised 2-prong plug fits standard North American outlets without a ground pin, so it cannot serve devices that require a grounded C5 or C13 inlet.

Build and connector implications

The SJT jacket protects the copper conductors up to 105C, giving a durable feel for desk or travel use. A NEMA 1-15P plug on one end and a C7 figure-8 connector on the other mean the cord extends reach from a wall socket to the power brick without adding bulk or changing the device's own inlet. Lifetime replacement backing from the US-based brand covers failure of the cord itself.
