Product Features
Technical Overview
This power extension cord implements a precise electrical interface with a female IEC 60309 C13 connector on one end and a male IEC 60320 C14 connector on the other. Both connectors utilize a 3-pin design that maintains proper grounding and polarity for safe power delivery. The cord itself measures 3 feet (0.91 meters) in length, providing just enough reach for repositioning equipment or connecting to distant outlets without excessive slack.
The three-conductor internal wiring ensures full compatibility with grounded power sources, reducing the risk of electrical noise or interference. While not a surge protector or power conditioner, this cord serves as a passive extension that preserves the electrical characteristics of the source connection. Its construction prioritizes durability and consistent conductivity over its operational lifespan.

Key Product Advantages
The Axiom Power Extension Cord addresses common workspace challenges with a focused, reliable design. Its standardized connectors guarantee interoperability with existing PC power supplies, UPS backup units, and power distribution strips, eliminating compatibility guesswork.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Visual Cable Management, Replacement Simplicity.
Visual Cable Management
The bright red jacket makes this cord instantly identifiable in dense cable bundles, helping technicians quickly trace connections during maintenance or reconfiguration.
- Reduces setup errors
- Speeds up troubleshooting
Replacement Simplicity
When original power cables become damaged, lost, or too short, this extension cord provides a direct, off-the-shelf replacement that restores full functionality without custom ordering.
- Eliminates downtime
- Uses standard connectors
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this extension cord anywhere a short reach increase is needed between a power source and a PC or compatible device. In office workstations, it allows subtle repositioning of desktop towers or monitors without requiring outlet relocation. For server racks and IT cabinets, the 3-foot length helps bridge small gaps between PDUs and equipment power inlets, maintaining neat cable runs.
Home office users benefit from the cord's ability to connect devices to power strips that may be slightly out of reach, reducing cable strain and improving desk organization. IT departments keep these cords on hand as spares for immediate replacement during hardware upgrades or moves, ensuring continuity of operations. The red color coding proves particularly valuable in environments with multiple similar devices, where quick visual differentiation prevents accidental disconnections.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with this Axiom power extension cord?
This cord is designed for PC-compatible equipment, including desktop computers, servers, monitors, and peripherals that use standard IEC 60320 C14 power inlets. It connects power supplies, UPS units, or power distribution strips with IEC 60309 C13 outlets to devices requiring a C14 connection. Verify your device's power inlet matches the male C14 connector before use.
What is the exact length of the cord in both feet and meters?
The Axiom Power Extension Cord measures 3 feet in length, which converts to 0.91 meters. This 3-foot reach provides enough extension for minor equipment repositioning or connecting to slightly distant outlets without creating excessive cable slack that could lead to clutter or tripping hazards.
What do the IEC 60309 C13 and IEC 60320 C14 connector designations mean?
IEC 60309 C13 refers to a specific 3-pin female connector standard commonly found on the output side of power supplies, UPS units, and PDUs. IEC 60320 C14 designates the corresponding 3-pin male connector typically used as the power inlet on computers and monitors. These are international standards ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility across devices from different manufacturers.
How many conductors does this power extension cord have, and why does it matter?
This cord features three conductors: live, neutral, and ground. The three-conductor design is essential for safety, as it provides a dedicated grounding path that helps prevent electrical shocks and reduces electromagnetic interference. It ensures compatibility with grounded power sources and maintains proper polarity for reliable operation of sensitive electronic equipment.
Can I use this red extension cord for server rack installations?
Yes, this cord is suitable for server rack deployments where short extensions are needed between rack-mounted PDUs and equipment power inlets. The 3-foot length helps bridge small gaps while keeping cable runs tidy. The red color coding allows quick visual identification among multiple similar cables, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting in dense rack environments.
Is this power extension cord a surge protector or power conditioner?
No, this is a passive extension cord without surge protection, voltage regulation, or power conditioning capabilities. It simply extends the existing power connection without modifying electrical characteristics. For surge protection, you would need a dedicated surge protector or a UPS with built-in protection installed upstream of this cord.
Why is the cord color red, and does it serve any functional purpose?
The bright red color provides immediate visual differentiation in environments with multiple cables, reducing the time technicians spend tracing connections during setup, maintenance, or troubleshooting. While not electrically functional, this color coding is a practical feature that enhances cable management efficiency and helps prevent accidental disconnections of critical equipment.
What should I check before using this extension cord with my equipment?
Verify that your equipment's power inlet matches the male IEC 60320 C14 connector on the cord and that your power source (outlet, UPS, or PDU) has a compatible female IEC 60309 C13 outlet. Ensure the cord length meets your needs without creating trip hazards or excessive slack. Also confirm your equipment's power requirements fall within the cord's rated capacity, though standard PC applications typically pose no issue.
