C14 to C5 cloverleaf power cord

This three-foot cord replaces the cloverleaf AC cable on laptop power bricks, printers and other devices that use an IEC 60320 C5 inlet. The grounded three-prong C14 plug connects to a standard C13 outlet or power strip. Eighteen-AWG copper with an SJT jacket is rated for 105C and 300V. Cable Leader backs the cord with a lifetime warranty.

Suits laptops and light electronics needing a C5

Buyers replacing a lost or damaged cloverleaf cord on a notebook adapter or small office device will find a direct fit. The 18 AWG gauge is intended for light electronics drawing up to 10A. Equipment that requires 13A, 15A or 20A service should use 16 AWG, 14 AWG or 12 AWG cords instead.

18 AWG handles up to 10A for light loads

The cord comfortably powers typical laptop adapters, inkjet printers and similar low-draw gear. It runs out of headroom when the connected load exceeds 10A, making it unsuitable for desktop power supplies, server PDUs or any device specified for higher current.

Questions about this item

What wall-end connector must my power strip or UPS provide for this C14 plug?

The cord ends in a standard IEC C14 three-prong plug, so your power strip, UPS or wall outlet must accept a C14 inlet.

Will the 18 AWG gauge safely power the laptop brick I already own?

The 18 AWG SJT cable is rated for up to 10 A at 300 V, matching typical laptop adapters that draw less than 10 A.

How can I verify the cord is delivering power once connected?

The laptop power brick’s indicator LED should illuminate and the battery icon in the OS must show charging.
