Cable Leader 1ft NEMA 5-15P to C13 16 AWG 13A 125V Black

Cable Leader 1ft Power Cord

This Cable Leader power cord connects devices with an IEC 60320 C13 inlet to a standard NEMA 5-15P wall outlet. It is built for desktop PCs, monitors, printers and similar equipment that require a grounded three-wire connection. The one-foot length suits tight rack or desk setups where excess cable would clutter the workspace. It arrives new and carries UL and CSA safety certifications.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The cord uses 16 AWG SJT-jacketed copper conductors rated for 13 amps at 125 volts with a 105°C temperature ceiling. This construction allows continuous operation at the full rated current without the insulation exceeding its thermal limit. Molded connectors with integrated strain relief protect the terminations from fatigue caused by vibration or repeated movement. The three-conductor grounded design maintains a reliable earth path throughout extended use.

Interface Practical Limits

The NEMA 5-15P plug fits North American 125 V 15 A receptacles, so the cord cannot be used on higher-voltage or higher-amperage circuits without a different plug. The IEC 60320 C13 coupler accepts a maximum of 10 A per the connector standard, which is below the cable's own 13 A conductor rating. RoHS and REACH compliance confirms restricted substance limits but does not alter electrical capacity. The one-foot reach restricts placement to equipment positioned very close to the outlet.
