Deployment / Use Cases
This cord is ideal for connecting high-power IT equipment to standard AC outlets. Its NEMA 5-15P plug fits common North American wall sockets, while the C19 connector interfaces with devices that demand higher current than standard C13 cords can provide.
Typical applications include powering rack-mounted servers, network switches, routers, UPS systems, PDUs, and high-performance workstations. It serves as a direct replacement for OEM cords or as a reliable extension in setups where equipment is positioned away from the power source.
Data Center and Server Room
Connect servers and networking gear to rack PDUs or wall outlets where a short, heavy-duty cord is needed for clean cable management and assured power delivery.
Office and Workstation
Power high-end desktop computers, large monitors, or audio/video equipment that requires a robust connection with full 15-amp capacity.
Localization and Operating System
This power cord is designed specifically for North American electrical infrastructure, featuring a NEMA 5-15P plug that fits standard 125V wall outlets throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The connector configuration ensures compatibility with regional power standards, eliminating the need for adapters or voltage converters when deploying equipment locally.
As a hardware accessory, this cable does not include an operating system or software components. Its functionality is purely electrical, providing a reliable physical connection between AC power sources and compatible IT equipment. The design focuses on meeting North American safety certifications (UL) and environmental regulations (RoHS, REACH, WEEE), which are critical for business procurement in regulated industries.
For IT teams managing mixed-geography deployments, this cord's localization simplifies inventory and reduces compatibility issues. When connecting servers, switches, or PDUs in North American data centers or offices, the NEMA 5-15P to C19 configuration delivers plug-and-play integration without regional mismatches. The black color and standardized length further support consistent cable management across racks and workstations.
North American Power Compatibility
The NEMA 5-15P connector interfaces directly with common 125V outlets across the continent, providing immediate deployment readiness for offices, server rooms, and data centers without electrical modifications.
Regulatory Alignment
Built to comply with UL safety standards and EU environmental directives, this cord meets the dual requirements of North American electrical codes and global corporate sustainability policies.
Physical Profile
The cord is 3 feet (0.91 meters) long, offering flexibility for tight spaces or direct connections without excess slack. Its all-black color blends discreetly in professional settings, and the lightweight design (6.8 oz) simplifies handling and installation. The compact 0.36-inch diameter allows it to route neatly alongside other cables.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.80 oz (192.78 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
