Technical Overview
This power cord meets hospital grade certification requirements, indicating it has passed rigorous testing for mechanical strength, electrical safety, and strain relief. The construction includes reinforced connectors and heavy-duty insulation that resists damage from repeated plugging and unplugging.
The NEMA 5-15P connector features three pins designed for standard North American 125V outlets, while the IEC 60320 C13 connector interfaces with computers, monitors, printers, scanners, and other compatible devices. The 16AWG wire gauge provides optimal current carrying capacity for the 13A rating.
This section brings together practical product details such as First End Connector Type, First End Connector Detail, Second End Connector Type, Voltage Rating, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
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 does hospital grade mean for this power cord?
Hospital grade certification indicates this power cord has passed more rigorous testing than standard cords, including enhanced strain relief requirements, additional insulation integrity tests, and stricter construction standards. This makes it suitable for environments where reliability and safety are critical, such as healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and commercial settings with demanding power requirements.
What devices are compatible with this power cord?
This power cord connects devices with IEC 60320 C13 power inlets, including most desktop computers, monitors, printers, scanners, and some laboratory equipment. The NEMA 5-15P connector plugs into standard North American 125V wall outlets. The 13A current rating supports typical office equipment power demands without overheating or voltage drop issues.
What is the difference between this hospital grade cord and a standard power cord?
Hospital grade cords feature reinforced strain relief where the cord meets the connectors, heavier insulation, and more robust construction overall. They undergo additional testing for mechanical strength and electrical safety. While standard cords meet basic safety requirements, hospital grade cords exceed these standards for environments where cords experience frequent plugging and unplugging or where failure could have serious consequences.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates this product meets sourcing requirements for U.S. government purchases and other institutions that must comply with trade agreement regulations. The cord is manufactured in Taiwan, which qualifies under TAA provisions. This makes it appropriate for government contracts, educational institutions receiving federal funding, and other procurement scenarios with specific sourcing requirements.
What warranty coverage does this power cord include?
C2G provides a lifetime warranty for this power cord, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty reflects confidence in the hospital grade construction and durability. For warranty claims, customers typically need proof of purchase and may contact C2G directly or through authorized resellers for replacement or repair options.
Can this power cord be used as an extension cord?
While this 10-foot cord provides additional reach between outlets and equipment, it functions as a replacement power cord rather than a traditional extension cord with multiple outlets. It connects a single device to a power source. For applications requiring multiple devices from one outlet, consider a power strip or PDU with hospital grade certification instead of daisy-chaining multiple power cords.
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 AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
