What this cord does and who uses it

The Cable Leader 1 ft NEMA 5-15P to C15 power cord links a wall outlet, power strip or PDU to a computer, monitor, server, printer or other IEC 60320 C15 inlet device. It carries 15 A at 125 V through 14 AWG grounded copper inside an SJT jacket rated 105 °C / 300 V. UL Listed and CSA certified (file E210037), RoHS compliant. Ideal for rack installs or tight desk runs where a short, heavy-duty red lead keeps things tidy and identifiable.

Practical limits of the 14 AWG 15 A 125 V rating

The 14 AWG construction supports up to 15 A continuous at 125 V, making it suitable for servers, PDUs and higher-draw equipment that exceed the 10 A of 18 AWG or 13 A of 16 AWG cords. It is not rated for 20 A circuits that require 12 AWG, nor for voltages above 125 V. The C15 connector withstands 105 °C inlet temperatures, unlike the lower-rated C13, but the cord itself must not be used where ambient or device heat exceeds the 105 °C jacket rating.

Check your inlet and circuit before ordering

Verify that your equipment uses an IEC 60320 C15 inlet — not the more common C13 — because the keyed notch differs and the plug will not seat. Confirm the supply side is a standard NEMA 5-15R receptacle rated for 15 A at 125 V. Ensure the 1 ft length reaches from your outlet or PDU to the device without tension; longer runs need a longer cord. This cord is new and carries a lifetime replacement warranty from the US-based brand.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1 ft red 14 AWG version or a longer cord for my server rack?

The 1 ft length keeps cable clutter low inside a rack; choose a longer cord only if the PDU or wall outlet is farther than 1 ft from the device inlet.

What does the 15 A 125 V rating mean when I plug this into my equipment?

The cord can continuously carry 15 A at 125 V, matching a standard North American branch circuit and the 14 AWG copper conductors inside the SJT jacket.

How does the NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C15 interface limit what I can connect?

The 5-15P plug fits any 125 V 15 A receptacle, while the C15 inlet accepts up to 105 °C pin temperature, making it suitable for higher-heat server and PDU power supplies.
