FAQ
What devices are compatible with this power cord?
This power cord connects devices with IEC C13 power inlets to North American NEMA 5-15P wall outlets. It is compatible with servers, desktop computers, monitors, power distribution units (PDUs), printers, and other IT equipment using the standard C13 connector. The cord serves as a universal replacement for original equipment manufacturer power cables with this connector configuration.
What safety certifications does this power cord have?
The cord is UL listed under standards UL62 and UL817, indicating it meets rigorous electrical safety requirements. It also carries a VW-1 fire rating, which means the cable jacket is flame retardant and self-extinguishing. These certifications ensure the cord can safely handle its rated 15A current in professional IT environments without overheating or presenting fire hazards.
What is the advantage of 14 AWG wire in this power cord?
The 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire provides thicker conductors than standard 16 AWG or 18 AWG cords, resulting in lower electrical resistance. This reduces voltage drop over the 6-foot length, ensures the cord can safely carry the full 15A rated current without overheating, and provides better power delivery to connected equipment, especially important for servers and other power-hungry devices.
Can this power cord be used as a replacement for OEM power cables?
Yes, this cord serves as a direct replacement for original equipment manufacturer power cables that use the NEMA 5-15P to IEC C13 configuration. Many servers, desktop computers, monitors, and network equipment come with similar cords, and this heavy duty version provides equivalent or superior construction with safety certifications. It is particularly useful when original cables are lost, damaged, or when additional cords are needed for equipment expansion.
What environmental standards does this power cord comply with?
The cord complies with EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directives, which limit certain hazardous materials in electrical equipment. It also meets REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) requirements and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives for proper disposal and recycling. These compliance standards ensure the cord meets international environmental regulations for IT equipment.
What warranty and support comes with this power cord?
