- Works with UPS battery backup units
- Integrates with surge-protected power strips
Durable Construction
The 16-gauge wiring and SJT jacket ensure reliable power delivery and physical durability, suitable for continuous use in commercial or home office environments.
- Handles up to 13A load
- Resists wear and tear
- Maintains flexibility over time
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this splitter cord in scenarios where you need to power two devices from one wall outlet, such as connecting a desktop computer and its monitor to a single UPS for coordinated battery backup. It's equally effective in server racks where space for power distribution is limited, allowing you to daisy-chain power to multiple rack-mounted components without overloading circuit capacity.
For home offices or small businesses, use it to reduce cable sprawl by consolidating power for a computer, external hard drive, and network switch. The cord's 3-foot length keeps connections tidy and manageable, while the black color ensures it blends seamlessly with most equipment aesthetics.
UPS Integration
Connect two critical devices to a single UPS outlet, ensuring both receive battery backup during power outages without requiring additional UPS units.
Workstation Expansion
Power a desktop PC and peripherals like monitors or speakers from one outlet, simplifying cable management and reducing wall socket demand.

FAQ
What devices can I connect with this splitter cord?
This splitter cord is designed for computers, UPS (uninterruptible power supply) units, and surge protectors that use standard IEC C13 power connectors. It allows you to power two such devices from a single NEMA 5-15P wall outlet, making it suitable for desktop PCs, servers, monitors, and other peripherals in office or data center environments.
What is the maximum current rating of this cable?
The Monoprice 41091 splitter cord has a current rating of 13 amps. This means it can safely deliver up to 13A of continuous current to the connected devices, which is sufficient for most computer equipment and ensures reliable power distribution without overheating or voltage drop issues.
Can I use this cord with 230V power systems?
Yes, this splitter cord is rated for both 120V and 230V AC systems. Its dual-voltage compatibility makes it versatile for use in different regions or with equipment designed for higher voltage standards, provided the connected devices and wall outlet match the local power specifications.
How long is the cord, and is the length sufficient for my setup?
The cord is 3 feet (0.91 meters) long. This length is ideal for setups where devices are close together, such as on a desk, in a server rack, or within a media cabinet. It helps reduce cable clutter while providing enough reach for adjacent equipment, but ensure your devices are within this range for optimal use.
What type of connectors does this splitter cord have?
On one end, it has a standard North American NEMA 5-15P male plug that fits into a wall outlet. On the other end, it features two IEC 60320 C13 female connectors, which are commonly used for computers, monitors, and UPS units. This configuration allows you to split power from one outlet to two devices efficiently.
Is this splitter cord compliant with environmental regulations?
Yes, the Monoprice 41091 splitter cord complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) standards. This ensures it meets environmental safety requirements by limiting harmful substances, making it a responsible choice for eco-conscious deployments.
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 120 V AC,230 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
