Six-Pack Power Cords for Office Gear

This six-pack supplies standard NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C13 cords for desktop PCs, monitors, scanners and printers. Each cable is rated for 10 A at 125 V using 18 AWG conductors. The 1.8288 m length reaches wall outlets or UPS units without excess slack. Buyers needing longer runs or higher amperage should look elsewhere.

Connectors and Rating Explained

The grounded NEMA 5-15P plug fits North American wall sockets while the C13 end mates with any device that presents a male C14 inlet. The 10 A, 125 V rating covers typical office equipment but will not support heavy-draw workstations or server gear. No adapters, software or extra hardware are included in the pack.

Simple Plug-In Installation

Installation requires only pushing the C13 connector onto the C14 inlet until it clicks, then inserting the NEMA plug into a live outlet. The moulded strain relief resists accidental disconnection. The main failure mode occurs when users force the C13 onto a non-standard inlet or exceed the 10 A limit, causing overheating.

Questions about this item

Will the 18AWG conductors or the C13 connectors need periodic replacement under normal indoor use?

The cord uses 18AWG wire rated for 10 amps at 125 volts; the moulded NEMA 5-15P plug and IEC 60320 C13 connector are not user-serviceable, so the whole cord is replaced only if the jacket is damaged or a blade is bent.

What stops the cord from carrying more than its 10 amp, 125 volt rating during a long print job or rendering session?

The 18AWG copper conductors and the C13 connector are both rated for a maximum continuous load of 10 amps at 125 volts; exceeding that will trip the upstream breaker or cause the cord to overheat.

Does the 6-foot length or the 18AWG gauge make the cord run noticeably warm when a workstation draws near 10 amps all day?

At the rated 10 amp load the 18AWG conductors will become warm to the touch, which is normal; the cord has no active cooling, so keep it uncoiled and away from insulation to let heat dissipate.
