Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for consistent electrical performance, this Tripp Lite power cord meets UL safety standards and carries a lifetime limited warranty. The 16AWG wire gauge provides optimal current-carrying capacity while maintaining flexibility for routing in tight spaces behind desks or equipment racks.
The connector combination follows industry-standard configurations: the NEMA 5-15P plug interfaces with North American wall outlets, while the IEC C13 connector mates with power supplies on computers, monitors, and various IT equipment. This compatibility ensures broad application across common office and home electronics.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This piggyback power cord eliminates the need for power strips in simple two-device setups, reducing cable clutter and outlet congestion. The pass-through design maintains full electrical capacity at both connection points, so neither device experiences power limitations.
Outlet Sharing Efficiency
The integrated NEMA 5-15R port allows direct connection of a second device to the same wall outlet, optimizing outlet usage without additional hardware.
- Eliminates need for power strips in basic setups
- Reduces cable management complexity
- Maintains full electrical rating at both ports
Compliance and Durability
Manufactured to meet stringent safety and environmental standards, this cord delivers reliable performance across extended service life.
- UL listed for safety assurance
- RoHS compliant for environmental responsibility
- Lifetime limited warranty coverage
Deployment / Use Cases
This power cord serves effectively in office environments where desk setups combine computers and monitors. Instead of requiring two separate outlets or a power strip, the piggyback design allows both devices to draw power from a single outlet while maintaining clean cable management.
Home office configurations benefit similarly, particularly in spaces with limited outlet availability. The cord also works well for temporary setups, trade show displays, or testing stations where quick deployment and minimal cable footprint are priorities. Educational institutions and computer labs can standardize on this solution for consistent power connectivity across workstations.
Office Workstation Setup
Connect a desktop computer and its monitor to one outlet, reducing cable clutter behind desks while maintaining full power availability for both devices.
Space-Constrained Environments
Ideal for home offices, dorm rooms, or temporary installations where outlet access is limited but reliable power distribution remains essential.

User Manual
FAQ
What does 'piggyback' mean for this power cord?
The piggyback design refers to the integrated NEMA 5-15R pass-through port built into the plug housing. This allows you to connect the cord to a wall outlet while simultaneously plugging another device directly into the same outlet through the cord's built-in receptacle, effectively sharing one outlet between two devices without needing a separate power strip.
What devices are compatible with this power cord?
This cord connects devices with IEC C13 power inlets, which includes most desktop computers, computer monitors, printers, and various IT equipment. The NEMA 5-15P plug works with standard North American 125V wall outlets. The pass-through port accepts any device with a NEMA 5-15P plug, making it suitable for lamps, chargers, or additional electronics.
What is the maximum power rating of this cord?
The cord carries a 13 amp, 125 volt AC rating, which translates to 1,625 watts maximum capacity. This rating applies to both the primary connection and the pass-through port, so the total load across both connected devices should not exceed these specifications for safe operation.
How long is the power cord?
The cord measures 6 feet (1.83 meters) from end to end. This length provides sufficient reach for typical desk setups while minimizing excess cable that requires management. The 16AWG wire maintains proper current delivery across this distance without voltage drop concerns for standard office equipment.
Does this cord meet safety standards?
Yes, this Tripp Lite power cord is UL listed, indicating it has undergone independent safety testing and meets recognized electrical standards. It also complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations, restricting certain hazardous materials in its construction for environmental responsibility.
What warranty coverage does this power cord include?
Tripp Lite provides a lifetime limited warranty for this power cord. This coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship for the product's service life, offering long-term assurance for business and institutional purchases where reliability and durability are important considerations.
