What this cord does

The Cables To Go 53408 is a twelve-foot power extension cord with a three-prong grounded male plug on one end and a matching female receptacle on the other. It is built for anyone who needs to reach a wall outlet or power strip from a device whose own cable falls short. The cord uses SVT 18AWG conductors rated for ten amps at 125 volts.

How it fits a build

The female connector accepts the standard three-pin shrouded plug found on most desktop computers, monitors, printers and scanner power bricks. By inserting this cord between the device and the outlet, bulky transformer blocks no longer cover adjacent sockets on a surge strip or UPS. The fully moulded construction resists damage from repeated plugging and unplugging in tight spaces.

Behaviour under load

The eighteen-gauge conductors and ten-amp rating are sized for continuous operation at the stated voltage, so the cord runs cool when powering typical office or home-office equipment. The six-point-three-millimetre outer jacket protects the wires during long-term routing behind desks or along baseboards. It is not intended for high-draw appliances that exceed the rated capacity.

Questions about this item

Will the 18 AWG wire and 10 A rating handle a continuous load without overheating?

The cord uses SVT 18AWG x 3C wire rated for 10 A at 125 V, which is the limit for sustained current before the conductors reach their temperature ceiling.

Does the fully molded SVT jacket stay cool and quiet when run all day behind a desk?

The 6.3 mm SVT jacket dissipates heat passively and has no moving parts, so it runs silently and remains at a safe temperature during continuous operation.

My device has a NEMA 5-15P plug — will the female NEMA 5-15R end accept it directly?

Yes, the female connector is a standard NEMA 5-15R that mates directly with any NEMA 5-15P plug on transformers, computers, monitors or printers.
