What this cord does

The Monoprice 124197 is a 25 ft black power cable that connects a NEMA 5-15P wall plug to an IEC-320-C13 device inlet. It supplies mains power to desktop computers, monitors, printers or UPS units that use a standard C14 socket. The 18 AWG conductors are rated for 10 A at 125 V, delivering up to 1250 W.

Thermals noise and power draw

The cord is a passive assembly with no active components, so it generates no audible noise and adds no measurable heat beyond normal conductor resistance. Power draw is determined entirely by the attached equipment up to the 10 A rating. The 3-conductor design includes a ground path for safe continuous operation.

Accessories and software impact

No software, drivers or additional accessories are bundled with this cable. The only functional elements are the moulded 5-15P plug and the C13 connector, which mate directly with a C14 inlet. The lifetime warranty from Monoprice covers the cable itself but does not alter its electrical behaviour.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 25 ft 18 AWG cord without bending the NEMA 5-15P or C13 ends too sharply?

Route the cable with gentle curves, avoid tight bends at the plugs, seat the C13 fully into the C14 inlet and push the 5-15P firmly into the wall outlet until it clicks.

What maintenance will the 10 A power cord need over time?

Inspect the black jacket and both connectors periodically; replace the cord if the insulation cracks, pins bend, or the plug fits loosely in the outlet.

What limit appears first when the 18 AWG cable runs at 10 A continuously?

The 18 AWG conductors reach their 10 A / 1250 W rating, so sustained loads near that level cause the cord to warm up before any other limit is hit.
