3ft NEMA 5-15P to C13 power cord

This 3ft (1m) 18AWG cable connects a North American NEMA 5-15P plug to an IEC 60320 C13 inlet. It is rated for 125V at 10A and uses 100% copper conductors inside a black PVC SVT jacket. The fully moulded strain relief ends meet UL62 and UL817 safety listings. It suits desktop PCs, monitors, printers and similar office equipment.

Replaces worn or missing C13 leads

Swap this cord in when an original cable is damaged, too short for a rearranged desk, or lost during a move. The 3ft length keeps a workstation tidy without excess slack, while the VW-1 fire-rated jacket and 37°F to 140°F operating range handle typical indoor environments. UL listed components give the same safety baseline as the factory lead it replaces.

Handles standard desktop and peripheral loads

At 10A continuous the cord runs most single-PC power supplies, monitors and office peripherals without voltage drop. It is not suited for high-current devices such as laser printers with heating elements or multi-outlet strips feeding several systems. The 0.25in (6.3mm) outer diameter routes easily through cable management trays but offers no extra headroom beyond the 10A rating.

Questions about this item

What wall outlet and device port does the NEMA 5-15P to C13 cord connect?

The NEMA 5-15P plug fits standard North American 125 V outlets, while the IEC 60320 C13 connector mates with most desktop PSUs, monitors, printers and scanners.

How do I install the cord and what step is often missed?

Push the C13 end fully into the device inlet until it clicks, then insert the NEMA 5-15P plug into the wall outlet; the step people skip is verifying the click that confirms the C13 latch is seated.

When should I replace this 18 AWG SVT cable?

Replace it if the PVC jacket shows cracks, the moulded strain relief separates, the copper conductors are exposed, or the cord no longer carries the rated 10 A at 125 V.
