User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum power load this extension cord can handle?
This cord is rated for 120 volts AC and 13 amps, supporting a maximum power load of 1560 watts (120V × 13A). It is designed for standard office and IT equipment like computers, monitors, and printers, but should not be used with high-draw appliances like space heaters or air conditioners to prevent overheating.
Are the connectors grounded for safety?
Yes, both the NEMA 5-15P male plug and NEMA 5-15R female receptacle include three pins, with the third pin providing grounding. This grounding helps protect against electrical faults and surges, enhancing safety when powering sensitive electronics or in environments with potential moisture.
Is this cord suitable for outdoor use?
No, this is an indoor-rated power extension cord. While the SJT jacket offers durability, it is not designed for outdoor exposure to weather, UV light, or moisture. For outdoor applications, look for cords specifically rated for exterior use with weather-resistant construction.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. If the cord fails due to manufacturing issues, Tripp Lite by Eaton will repair or replace it. This warranty does not cover damage from misuse, overloading, or physical abuse, but it reflects the cord's robust build quality.
Can I daisy-chain multiple extension cords together?
It is not recommended to daisy-chain extension cords, as this can increase resistance, cause voltage drop, and create overheating risks. For longer distances, use a single cord of appropriate length or consult an electrician for permanent wiring solutions to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.
How does the 16 AWG wire gauge affect performance?
The 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) size balances current capacity with flexibility. It can safely carry up to 13 amps over the 15-foot length with minimal voltage drop, ensuring stable power delivery. Thicker gauges like 14 AWG handle higher currents, but 16 AWG is optimal for typical office and IT loads while remaining easy to handle and route.
