Ready-to-use 6 ft power cord

This six-foot cable connects a standard US wall outlet to any device with an IEC C13 inlet. It suits desktop computers, monitors, printers, projectors and HDTVs that need a replacement or a neater cable run. The 18 AWG conductors are rated for 10 A at 125 V. It arrives new and ready to plug in.

Lifetime warranty backs the cable

Monoprice includes a lifetime warranty on this cord, so a single purchase covers the product for as long as you own it. No extra software, adapters or configuration steps are bundled. The warranty simply replaces the cable if it ever fails under normal use. Buyers who need an angled plug or a different gauge will not find those options here.

Plug in and route excess length

Installation takes seconds: insert the NEMA 5-15P plug into the wall socket and the C13 connector into the equipment. The only common issue is managing the extra length when the run is shorter than six feet; a simple cable tie keeps the slack tidy. No tools, drivers or polarity checks are required.

Questions about this item

Will the 18AWG conductors or the IEC C13 connector need replacing after extended use?

The 18AWG cable is rated for a continuous 10 amp, 125 volt load, and the IEC C13 connector is a standard PC power interface; neither is a wear item under normal indoor operation.

What is the first limit reached when the cord runs at full 10 amp load for hours?

The 18AWG conductors and the 10 amp rating set the thermal ceiling; sustained 10 amp draw will warm the cable to its design limit before any other component is stressed.

Does the NEMA 5-15P plug or the cable get noticeably warm or draw extra power when powering a desktop all day?

At typical desktop loads well below 10 amps the cord runs cool; only near the 10 amp, 125 volt maximum would the 18AWG cable produce detectable warmth.
