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 power extension cord delivers practical benefits for IT infrastructure management through its thoughtful design and robust construction.
Space-Efficient Right-Angle Design
The right-angle plug orientation reduces the cable's footprint against walls and outlets, preventing interference with adjacent ports and minimizing strain on the connection.
- Fits behind furniture and equipment
- Reduces cable bending stress
- Maximizes outlet accessibility
Flat Cable Flexibility
The flat cable profile allows for easier installation in tight spaces and cleaner routing along surfaces compared to traditional round cables.
- Routes under carpets or along baseboards
- Lies flat against walls and surfaces
- Reduces tripping hazards
Broad Device Compatibility
Supports multiple business IT devices with standard NEMA 5-15 connectors, ensuring reliable power delivery across your infrastructure.
- Desktop computers and displays
- Servers and UPS units
- Printers and power supplies
Deployment / Use Cases
This power extension cord serves multiple roles in business IT environments where standard power cords fall short due to space constraints or specific routing requirements.
In server rooms and data centers, the right-angle design proves valuable when connecting equipment in densely packed racks where straight plugs would interfere with adjacent units or create cable management challenges. The flat cable can be neatly routed along rack channels or under raised flooring without creating bulk.
Office Workstation Setup
Extend power to workstations positioned away from wall outlets while maintaining a clean appearance with the flat cable running along baseboards or under desk grommets.
AV and Display Installations
Power wall-mounted displays and audio-visual equipment where the right-angle plug fits flush against the wall, eliminating unsightly cable protrusion.

User Manual
FAQ
What devices are compatible with this power extension cord?
This cord supports any device with a standard NEMA 5-15R female connector, including desktop computers, monitors, servers, power distribution units (PDUs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), printers, and power supplies. The 13A 125V rating makes it suitable for most business IT equipment requiring standard North American power connections.
How does the right-angle plug design benefit installation?
The right-angle plug orientation reduces the cable's protrusion from wall outlets by approximately 60% compared to straight plugs. This minimizes interference with adjacent outlets, prevents cable strain at the connection point, and allows equipment to be positioned closer to walls. It's particularly useful in server racks, behind furniture, or in other confined spaces where every inch matters.
What advantages does the flat cable offer over round cables?
The flat 16AWG cable lies flush against surfaces, making it easier to route under carpets, along baseboards, or through cable management channels. It creates less visual bulk, reduces tripping hazards, and fits into tighter spaces than round cables of equivalent gauge. The flat design also prevents rolling or twisting during installation.
What is the maximum power capacity of this extension cord?
This cord has a 13-ampere current rating at 125 volts AC, providing a maximum power capacity of 1,625 watts (13A × 125V). The 16AWG wire gauge ensures safe operation at this capacity over the full 6-foot length without significant voltage drop or overheating under normal conditions.
Can this cord be used with rack-mounted equipment?
Yes, the right-angle plug and flat cable design make it ideal for rack installations. The plug fits flush against PDUs or wall outlets in crowded racks, while the flat cable routes cleanly through rack channels or under raised flooring. It's compatible with servers, UPS units, and other rack-mounted devices requiring standard NEMA 5-15 power connections.
What warranty coverage does StarTech.com provide for this product?
StarTech.com backs this power extension cord with a lifetime limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the cord's construction and reliability for long-term use in business IT environments.
