Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord features a NEMA 5-15P plug on one end, which is the standard three-prong connector for 120V AC outlets in North America. The opposite end terminates in an IEC-320-C13 connector, the common interface found on the power supplies of many computers and electronic devices. The 6-foot (1.83-meter) length offers practical flexibility for positioning equipment relative to power sources.
The 18AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification indicates the thickness of the internal conductors, balancing current-carrying capacity with flexibility. The SJT jacket rating denotes a hard service, junior hard service thermoplastic jacket suitable for general use. The cord is rated for 10 amperes at 120 volts, aligning with standard branch circuit protections and typical device power draws.

FAQ
What devices is this Tripp Lite P006-006 power cord compatible with?
This cord is compatible with any device that has a standard IEC-320-C13 (female) power inlet. This is the most common connector type found on desktop computer power supplies, many monitors, printers, and external storage enclosures. It is designed to plug into a standard North American 120V AC wall outlet, UPS, or surge protector with a NEMA 5-15R receptacle.
What is the significance of the 18AWG and 10A ratings on this power cord?
18AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the thickness of the copper conductors inside the cable. This gauge is standard for power cords of this length and current rating, providing a good balance of current-carrying capacity and flexibility. The 10A (10 Ampere) rating is the maximum continuous current the cord is designed to safely carry at 120V. This is sufficient for typical desktop computers and peripherals, which usually draw less than 10A.
Is this power cord safe to use, and does it have any safety certifications?
Yes, the Tripp Lite P006-006 power cord is UL Listed. This means it has been tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories to meet specific safety standards for electrical construction, materials, and performance. The UL mark is a widely recognized indicator of a product's safety for its intended use.
What warranty comes with this Tripp Lite power cord?
This power cord is backed by a lifetime limited warranty from Tripp Lite by Eaton. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. It provides long-term assurance of the cable's quality and reliability for your power connectivity needs.
Can I use this 6-foot cord in a server rack or for rack-mounted equipment?
While this cord can physically connect to rack-mounted equipment with a C13 inlet, a 6-foot length is often longer than necessary for tidy rack cable management. It may create excess cable that needs to be coiled or managed. For dense server racks, shorter power cords (1ft or 2ft) are typically preferred to reduce clutter and improve airflow. This 6ft cord is ideal for equipment near the rack or for standard desktop setups.
Where is this Tripp Lite P006-006 power cord manufactured?
This power cord is manufactured in Vietnam. Tripp Lite by Eaton oversees the production and quality assurance processes to ensure the cord meets their specifications and the UL safety standards. The country of origin does not affect the cord's electrical specifications, safety certifications, or warranty coverage.
