Monoprice 3 ft 16AWG Power Cord

This three-foot cable carries a NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and an IEC 60320 C13 connector on the other. It is built with 16AWG conductors rated for 13 A and finished in orange for easy identification. The cord connects computers, monitors, power adapters, servers or laser printers to a standard US wall outlet, UPS or power strip.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

It suits anyone replacing a lost or damaged C13 lead or adding a short, colour-coded link between a C14 inlet and a 5-15R socket. It does not suit devices that use a different IEC inlet or that require a heavier gauge for a higher current draw.

The deciding specification

The single figure that decides fit is the 13 A rating combined with the C13 connector; if your equipment demands more current or a different inlet this cord will not work.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3.00 ft 16AWG cord with its NEMA 5-15P and IEC 60320 C13 connectors?

Plug the NEMA 5-15P end into a US wall outlet or UPS, then seat the C13 end firmly onto the device's C14 inlet until it clicks; the step people miss is not pushing the C13 fully home, leaving a loose connection.

What maintenance or replacement will this 16AWG power cord need over time?

Inspect the orange jacket and both connectors periodically for cracks, discoloration, or bent pins; replace the cord if the insulation hardens, the blades loosen, or the C13 latch no longer holds securely.

What limit appears first on this 13A-rated cord during sustained high-draw use?

The 13 ampere rating is the ceiling; continuous loads near that level will heat the 16AWG conductors and connectors first, so keep the total draw below 13A to avoid thermal stress.
