2-foot power extension cord

The Monoprice 142055 is a 0.6096 m power extension cord built for desktop devices. It connects equipment with a male IEC 60320 C14 inlet to a standard North American NEMA 5-15 wall outlet or UPS. The cord is rated for 10 A at 125 V, supporting loads up to 1250 W. It suits offices or homes needing a short, grounded link for PCs, monitors, scanners or printers.

18AWG gauge and grounded plugs

The cable uses 18AWG conductors, a common gauge for typical desktop power draws. A grounded NEMA 5-15P plug connects to the AC source while a female IEC 60320 C13 connector mates with the device inlet. This construction delivers reliable current without excess bulk for short runs. Normal operation stays within the 10 A and 125 V limits marked on the cord.

Replaces short or missing factory cords

This cord replaces a lost, damaged or too-short original lead on gear that uses a C14 inlet. It adds 0.6096 m of reach when the wall outlet or UPS sits close to the hardware. The upgrade is worth it when the factory cable cannot reach the power source or its connector is worn. It does not help builders who need longer runs or higher amperage than 10 A.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C13 cord, and what step is often done wrong?

Mate the female C13 connector to the male C14 inlet on the device, then plug the NEMA 5-15P end into the AC outlet; the frequent error is pushing the C13 on crooked so the ground pin does not seat.

What upkeep or replacement will this 18AWG cord need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the cord if the jacket shows cracks, the plug blades bend, or the C13 latch no longer holds the C14 inlet securely.

What limit appears first when the cord runs at full 10 amp load for long periods?

The 18AWG conductors hit their 10 amp / 1250 watt rating first; sustained loads at that level will warm the cable to its design temperature ceiling.
