Technical Overview
This power cord uses a NEMA 5-15P plug, the standard North American grounded plug, and terminates in an IEC320C5 connector, commonly known as a "cloverleaf" or "Mickey Mouse" connector. The 18 AWG wire gauge supports typical laptop power requirements with minimal voltage drop over its 6-foot length.
The cord is engineered for safety and durability, with molded connectors that resist wear and strain. Its black color blends discreetly with most workspace setups, and the lightweight design at approximately 6.08 ounces ensures easy portability and management.
Relevant factors for this section include Cord Length, Color Family, Product Color, Compatibility. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

FAQ
What devices is this power cord compatible with?
This power cord is compatible with laptops and notebooks that use a 3-slot power cable with an IEC320C5 connector, commonly found on many brands' power adapters. It is not compatible with devices requiring different connector types like IEC320C7 or proprietary plugs.
What does TAA compliant mean for this product?
TAA compliant indicates that this power cord meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, meaning it is manufactured or substantially transformed in a designated country. This makes it eligible for procurement by U.S. government agencies and other organizations that mandate TAA compliance in their purchasing contracts.
What is the length of the power cord?
The power cord is 6 feet long, which is approximately 1.83 meters. This length provides sufficient reach from a standard power outlet to a laptop on a desk or table, reducing the need for extension cords in typical office or home setups.
What type of connectors does this power cord have?
This cord has a NEMA 5-15P plug on one end, which is the standard grounded plug used in North America for 120V outlets, and an IEC320C5 connector on the other end, often called a 'cloverleaf' connector, which connects to compatible laptop power adapters.
What warranty does this power cord come with?
The power cord comes with a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing long-term reliability and support, though it does not cover damage from misuse or accidents.
What is the wire gauge and why does it matter?
The wire gauge is 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge), which refers to the thickness of the electrical conductors. A thicker gauge like 18 AWG can handle the current required by typical laptops with lower resistance, reducing voltage drop over the cord's length and ensuring efficient power delivery to your device.
