8 ft 16 AWG power cord for C14 devices

This 8.00 ft cable connects equipment with a male IEC 60320 C14 panel connector to a standard US AC wall outlet. It carries a NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and a C13 connector on the other. The 16 AWG conductors are rated for up to 13 amps at 100 to 250 VAC. It suits desktop PCs, monitors, and similar office hardware.

Sustained 13 amp rating across full length

The cord maintains its 13 amp capacity continuously along the 8.00 ft run without derating. Voltage drop stays within normal limits for typical desktop loads. The three-conductor design provides a ground path for safety during extended operation. No thermal throttling or connector degradation occurs under rated continuous current.

Plug-and-play fit for standard C14 inlets

Installation requires only mating the female C13 end to the device's male C14 inlet and inserting the NEMA 5-15P plug into a wall outlet or UPS. The connectors are keyed to prevent misalignment. The only common issue is attempting to use it with a C13 inlet instead of C14, which will not physically connect. Ensure the device presents a male C14 panel connector before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 16AWG cord get warm when it carries the full 13 A rating all day?

At the rated 13 A the 16AWG conductors will run warm but stay within their temperature limits; keep the cable uncoiled and in open air for best heat dissipation.

What must the device already have for this NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C13 cable to connect?

The equipment needs a male IEC 60320 C14 panel inlet; the C13 female end on this cord mates directly with that inlet.

Will the 8.00 ft length and C13 connector work with an older PC power supply that still uses a C14 inlet?

Yes — the C13 connector is the standard mate for any C14 inlet regardless of the supply’s age, and the 8.00 ft reach suits typical desk or rack layouts.
