FAQ
What devices is this AddOn power cord compatible with?
This cord is compatible with any device that uses a C13 power inlet, which is common on desktop computers, monitors, printers, servers, and many IT peripherals. The NEMA 5-15P male end plugs into standard North American 125V wall outlets or power strips, making it suitable for office, home, and data center environments where industry-standard power connections are required.
What is the maximum power capacity of this cord?
The cord is rated for 125 volts and 13 amps, which translates to a maximum power capacity of 1625 watts (calculated as 125V × 13A). This rating supports typical power demands for computers, monitors, and similar devices, ensuring safe and efficient operation without overheating or voltage drop issues over its 1-foot length.
Why choose a 1-foot power cord over longer options?
A 1-foot cord is ideal for minimizing cable clutter in tight spaces such as server racks, behind desks, or in compact workstations. It reduces excess slack that can tangle or obstruct airflow, helps maintain a clean and professional appearance, and is easier to route and manage compared to longer cords, especially in environments where power sources are close to devices.
What does the 16 AWG gauge indicate for this power cord?
16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the thickness of the electrical conductors inside the cord. A 16 AWG wire is suitable for carrying up to 13 amps of current over short distances, providing efficient power delivery with minimal resistance. This gauge ensures the cord can handle its rated 125V 13A capacity safely, reducing the risk of overheating or performance loss in commercial use.
Is this power cord suitable for continuous use in an office setting?
Yes, this cord is designed for continuous use in office and IT environments. Its commercial-grade construction with PVC SJT jacket offers durability, flexibility, and resistance to everyday wear. The 125V 13A rating and 16 AWG wiring support stable power delivery over extended periods, making it reliable for powering computers, monitors, and other equipment that may run throughout the workday.
What are the advantages of the PVC SJT jacket material?
The PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT) jacket provides a balance of flexibility, durability, and flame resistance. This material makes the cord easy to bend and route in tight spaces while protecting the internal wires from physical damage, moisture, and temperature variations. It is commonly used in commercial power cords for its reliability and longevity in office, data center, and light industrial applications.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 125 V, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
