Product Features
Technical Overview
This power extension cord meets rigorous electrical and safety standards, featuring 100% copper wiring in a 3-conductor configuration that supports up to 15A at 125V AC. The 14AWG gauge minimizes voltage drop over the 10-foot length, maintaining stable power delivery to connected equipment. Compliance with UL 62 and UL 817 standards, along with ETL certification, confirms its suitability for commercial and professional use.
The IEC C14 male to C15 female connector pairing is specifically designed for computer hardware and power distribution units, ensuring secure connections without adapter requirements. The cable operates reliably in temperatures from -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C), with a VW-1 fire-rated jacket that enhances safety in enclosed or high-density installations.
Relevant factors for this section include First End Connector Type, First End Connector Detail, Second End Connector Type, Voltage Rating. 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.
Key Product Advantages
This extension cord delivers professional-grade performance through superior construction and thoughtful design. The heavy-duty 14AWG wiring provides lower resistance and better current handling compared to standard 16AWG or 18AWG cables, reducing heat buildup and voltage loss over extended runs. Fully molded connectors with integrated strain relief prevent wire fatigue at connection points, a common failure point in lesser cables.
Enhanced Durability
The SJT PVC jacket offers excellent abrasion resistance and flexibility, maintaining integrity in high-traffic or frequently moved installations. This construction withstands repeated bending and pulling without compromising internal conductors.
- Molded strain relief on both ends
- VW-1 fire-rated jacket material
- Temperature range: -4°F to 140°F
Professional Compliance
Manufactured with UL-listed components and ETL certification, this cord meets North American safety standards for commercial electrical equipment. RoHS and WEEE compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility in materials and end-of-life handling.
- UL 62 & UL 817 listed
- ETL certified for safety
- RoHS and WEEE compliant
Deployment / Use Cases
This IEC C14 to C15 extension cord serves multiple roles in IT infrastructure, from basic cable replacement to strategic power distribution. Its 10-foot length provides flexibility in positioning equipment relative to power sources, particularly useful in server racks, workstations, or media centers where outlet placement is limited.
In data center environments, it extends connections between PDUs and servers or network equipment that require IEC C15 inlets. For office setups, it enables cleaner cable management by allowing monitors, computers, and peripherals to share a single power source from a greater distance. The heavy-duty construction makes it suitable for permanent installations where reliability is critical, as well as temporary setups that require frequent reconfiguration.
Server Room Applications
Extend power from rack-mounted PDUs to servers with C15 inlets, maintaining proper airflow by allowing equipment to be positioned optimally within racks. The 15A rating supports high-power servers and storage arrays.
- Rack-mounted PDU connections
- High-power server support
- Cable management flexibility
Workstation and Office Use
Connect desktop computers, monitors, and printers to distant outlets, reducing cable clutter and enabling ergonomic workstation arrangements. The black color blends discreetly with office furniture and equipment.
- Multi-device power extension
- Home office compatibility
- Aesthetic black finish
Physical Profile
The cord measures 10 feet (3.05 meters) in length with a slim 0.34-inch (8.7mm) diameter that facilitates routing through cable channels or behind furniture. Weighing approximately 11.10 ounces (314.68 grams), it remains manageable without excessive bulk. The black PVC jacket provides a professional appearance that matches most IT equipment, while the molded connectors feature clear polarization for correct orientation during connection.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with this IEC C14 to C15 extension cord?
This cord connects devices with IEC C15 inlets to power sources with IEC C14 outlets. It is compatible with servers, desktop computers, monitors, printers, power distribution units (PDUs), and workstations that use standard computer power connectors. The 15A 125V rating supports most IT equipment in commercial and professional environments.
What safety certifications does this power extension cord have?
The cord features UL-listed components compliant with UL 62 and UL 817 standards, along with ETL certification for electrical safety. It carries a VW-1 fire rating for flame resistance and meets RoHS and WEEE environmental directives. These certifications ensure it meets North American safety requirements for commercial power cables.
How does the 14AWG gauge compare to standard power cords?
The 14AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification indicates thicker copper conductors than the 16AWG or 18AWG found in many standard power cords. This lower gauge reduces electrical resistance, minimizes voltage drop over the 10-foot length, and allows safer operation at the full 15A rating with less heat generation, making it suitable for continuous high-power applications.
What is the advantage of the fully molded strain relief?
The fully molded strain relief integrates the connector housing with the cable jacket, creating a seamless transition that prevents bending stress from concentrating at the connection point. This design significantly reduces wire fatigue and potential breakage where the cable meets the connector, extending the cord's lifespan in environments with frequent movement or tension.
Can this cord be used in rack-mounted installations?
Yes, the 10-foot length and slim 0.34-inch diameter make it suitable for rack-mounted deployments. It can extend connections between rack PDUs and servers or other equipment with C15 inlets, allowing flexible positioning within racks. The heavy-duty construction withstands the confined spaces and cable management systems typical in data center racks.
What warranty and support comes with this extension cord?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for this product, covering defects in materials and workmanship. Additionally, it includes free lifetime 24/5 multilingual technical assistance, offering support during business hours across multiple time zones. This comprehensive backing reflects its professional-grade design and target IT professional user base.
