  • Lightweight 0.60 lb build keeps cable routing tidy and manageable
  • Black jacket matches typical IT equipment for a clean, professional look

Dual-device power splitter

The StarTech PXT101Y Y-cable splits a single NEMA 5-15P wall outlet into two IEC 60320 C13 sockets. It lets a desktop PC and a monitor, or two similar peripherals, share one receptacle. The 18 AWG conductors are rated for 10 A at 125 V AC.

Passive cord thermals

No active cooling or electronics are present, so the cable produces no fan noise and draws no power of its own. Under normal load the 18 AWG wiring stays within its 10 A rating with minimal temperature rise. The black PVC jacket provides standard insulation for office environments.

Build integration notes

The 6 ft length reaches from a floor outlet to a typical desk-height workstation without strain. Each C13 connector mates with standard PC, monitor or printer inlets, freeing a second wall socket for other equipment. The cord adds 0.60 lb to the cable bundle and requires no additional adapters.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the NEMA 5-15P plug and the two C13 connectors, and what is the common mistake?

Plug the NEMA 5-15P end into a 125 V AC outlet, then attach each C13 end to a device; the error is exceeding the 10 A total rating when both devices draw power together.

What maintenance or replacement will the 18 AWG cord need over time?

Inspect the jacket and connectors for cracks, heat discolouration or loose pins; replace the cord if any damage appears or if the 10 A rating is no longer met.

What limit appears first during sustained use of this Y cable?

The 10 A input current limit is reached before the 125 V voltage rating, so combined device draw must stay at or below 10 A.
