Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord is constructed to exacting technical specifications for consistent power delivery. The 14AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating indicates a lower gauge number for a thicker conductor, which reduces electrical resistance and minimizes voltage drop over the 6-foot length, especially important under full 15-amp load. The cable features a three-conductor design with a fire rating of VW-1 and operates within a temperature range of 3°C to 75°C (37°F to 167°F).
The connectors are precision-molded to the cable, providing superior strain relief that protects the internal wiring from pull-out damage. With a cable outer diameter of 0.36 inches (9.1mm), it maintains a manageable profile for cable management in tight spaces.
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.

Comprehensive Safety & Compliance
Safety is engineered into every component. Beyond the UL listing, the cord complies with major environmental directives including RoHS 2, REACH, and WEEE, ensuring it meets global standards for restricted substances and end-of-life recycling.
Deployment / Use Cases
The NEMA 5-15P to C19 configuration is ideal for connecting high-power devices to standard AC power in North America. This cord serves as a reliable replacement or upgrade cable in numerous professional and commercial settings.
Primary applications include powering servers, network switches, and Power Distribution Units (PDUs) in rack-mounted environments. It is also perfectly suited for high-performance workstations, rendering stations, or any computer system where the power supply unit requires a C19 inlet. IT departments standardize on this cable for its proven compatibility with enterprise-grade hardware from major manufacturers.
Data Center & Server Room Essential
Deploy this cord to connect rack-mounted servers and network switches to a PDU or a wall outlet. Its C19 end is the standard connector for equipment drawing higher current, ensuring a secure and capable power connection.
Professional Workstation & Lab Use
Use it with high-end desktop computers, powerful audio/video editing rigs, or lab equipment that utilizes a C19 power inlet. The heavy duty build provides a margin of safety over standard power cords for continuous, high-load operation.
Localization and Operating System
This power cord is specifically localized for North American electrical infrastructure. The NEMA 5-15P plug is the standard three-prong connector used throughout the United States and Canada, designed to fit into standard 125-volt wall outlets. This localization ensures immediate compatibility without the need for adapters in these regions, providing a plug-and-play solution for IT deployments across the continent.
The cord's electrical ratings—125 volts AC and 15 amps—are aligned with North American power standards, allowing it to deliver the full rated current safely within this voltage range. This makes it an ideal replacement or upgrade cable for any equipment operating on standard North American power circuits, from office workstations to data center racks.
While this is a hardware accessory without an operating system, its design and certifications are optimized for integration into professional IT environments. The lifetime warranty and technical support reflect a commitment to long-term reliability in business settings where uptime is critical. IT managers can standardize on this cable knowing it meets regional electrical codes and safety requirements for commercial use.
Physical Profile
The cord presents a clean, professional appearance with an all-black finish that blends seamlessly into IT environments. Weighing approximately 11.6 ounces (328.85 grams), it is substantial without being cumbersome. The 6-foot (1.83-meter) length offers practical flexibility for routing cables behind desks, through cable management channels, or within server racks, providing enough reach without excessive slack.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 11.60 oz (328.85 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
