  • Product typeOthers
  • Product colorBlack
  • Overall length6 ft (1.83 m)
  • 6 ft length gives flexible placement between equipment
  • 16 AWG conductors rated for 13 A continuous current
  • IEC-60320 C14 male to C13 female connectors fit standard gear
  • Extends existing C13 power cables without extra outlets
  • Replaces or upgrades the original manufacturer-supplied power cord

Purpose and compatibility

This Monoprice 106453 cable extends or replaces a standard IEC-320-C13 power lead by adding a male C14 plug on one end and a female C13 connector on the other. It suits desktop PCs, large servers, laser printers or monitors that draw power from a PSU C13 outlet, saving a wall socket while keeping the original equipment cable intact.

Electrical rating and thermal behaviour

The cord uses 16AWG three-conductor wiring rated for 13 A continuous current, so it runs cool under typical office or server loads without needing active cooling. No fan or heatsink is involved, therefore the assembly is completely silent and adds negligible resistance or heat during normal operation.

Construction and daily handling

A black PVC jacket protects the conductors and the two moulded connectors, which lock securely into C13 and C14 ports to prevent accidental disconnection. At 6.00 ft the length offers flexible routing inside racks or under desks without excessive slack, and the standard IEC 60320 form factor ensures compatibility with existing power strips, UPS units and PSU panel sockets.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 106453 cable and what step do people often get wrong?

Plug the male C14 end into a device or power supply with a female C13 panel connector, then plug the female C13 end into equipment with a male C14 inlet. The common mistake is reversing the connectors — C14 is always the plug, C13 the socket.

What maintenance or replacement will this 16AWG cord need over time?

Inspect the black jacket and both IEC 60320 connectors for cracks, heat discoloration or loose pins. Replace the cord if the 13 A rating label becomes illegible or if the 6 ft length shows conductor exposure.

What limit appears first when the cord runs at full 13 A load for long periods?

The 16 AWG conductors reach their temperature ceiling before the C13/C14 connectors do, so sustained 13 A use is limited by wire heating rather than contact resistance.
