15 ft NEMA 5-20P to C19 power cord
This 15 ft cable connects a NEMA 5-20P plug to an IEC 60320 C19 inlet. It is built for computers, monitors, servers, printers and other equipment that use a C19 power entry. The heavy-duty 12 AWG SJT jacket contains three grounded copper conductors rated for 20A at 125V. UL Listed and CSA certified (file E210037), it meets RoHS requirements.
Sustained load behaviour
The 12 AWG conductors and 105C SJT jacket are rated for continuous 20A / 125V operation. Unlike lighter 18 AWG cords limited to 10A or 16 AWG cords limited to 13A, this gauge handles the full 20A draw without overheating. Molded connectors with strain relief maintain a secure, fully grounded connection during extended use.
Practical limits of the NEMA 5-20P interface
The NEMA 5-20P plug fits only 20A 125V receptacles with the horizontal neutral slot; it will not insert into a standard 15A 5-15R outlet. The C19 connector mates with C20 inlets rated up to 20A. Buyers whose equipment uses a C13 inlet or whose facility provides only 15A outlets cannot use this cord.

Questions about this item
Does the 12 AWG cable run cooler than thinner cords when powering a 20 A server all day?
The 12 AWG SJT jacket is rated 105 C and 300 V, so it handles continuous 20 A at 125 V with less voltage drop and heat than 14 AWG or 16 AWG alternatives.
My rack PDU only has IEC 60320 C20 outlets — will the C19 plug fit?
The cord terminates in an IEC 60320 C19 connector, which mates with a C20 inlet on your PDU or equipment.
Can I safely use this cord with an older 10 A monitor that has a C14 inlet?
No — the C19 connector is physically larger than a C14 inlet and will not insert; you need a C13-to-C14 cord for that device.
