Monoprice Inc. 5293 10ft 14AWG computer power cord

10 ft 14AWG power cord

The Monoprice 5293 is a 10 ft computer power cord built with 14 AWG conductors and a 15 A rating. It connects a standard NEMA 5-15P plug to an IEC-320-C13 socket for desktop PCs, monitors or printer supplies. The three-conductor design carries line, neutral and ground for safe operation. It suits builders who need a reliable replacement or an extra length for flexible placement.

Sustained 15 A load handling

The 14 AWG copper conductors are rated for continuous 15 A service at North American mains voltage. Under sustained load the cord runs warm but stays within UL temperature limits for the insulation. Voltage drop over the 10 ft length remains small enough that attached equipment sees stable input voltage. It is not for buyers who need a higher ampacity cable for 20 A circuits or industrial equipment.

Plug-and-play installation

Installation is a simple push-fit: the NEMA 5-15P end goes into a wall outlet or PDU, the IEC-320-C13 end seats into the device inlet until the latch clicks. The moulded strain reliefs resist accidental pulls that loosen lesser cords. The only common issue is routing the 10 ft length in tight cable channels where the thicker 14 AWG jacket bends less sharply than thinner cords.
