NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C13 Power Cord
This 2ft cord connects PCs, monitors, scanners, or printers with a C14 inlet to a standard North American wall outlet. It carries a grounded NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and a female IEC 60320 C13 connector on the other. The cable is rated for 10 amp, 125 volt, and 1250 watt loads. It suits office or home desks where the power source is close to the device.
18AWG Gauge and 10 Amp Limit
The 18AWG conductors set a practical ceiling of 10 amps at 125 volts, so the cord cannot serve equipment that draws more than 1250 watts. It is not rated for 250 volt circuits or higher current UPS outputs beyond that limit. The short length keeps voltage drop negligible but restricts placement to nearby outlets or power strips. Builders needing longer reach or higher amperage must choose a different gauge or length.
Molded Connectors and Fixed Length
Both ends use moulded strain relief that resists accidental disconnection during routine moves. The male NEMA 5-15P blades fit standard US receptacles, while the female C13 mates securely with any C14 panel inlet. The two foot span reduces cable clutter on compact desks but offers no slack for routing behind furniture or across rack bays. Users planning under-desk cable management should verify the distance before ordering.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 2ft length or a longer cable for my desk setup?
The 2ft cord reaches a nearby outlet or UPS from a device on the same surface; choose a longer version only if the AC socket is farther away.
What does the 10A/1250W rating mean when I plug in my PC?
It is the maximum continuous load the cord can carry safely; typical desktop PCs and monitors draw well below that limit.
How does the NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C13 connection limit what I can power?
The C13 end mates only with a C14 inlet on the device, so it fits standard PC, monitor, scanner and printer power ports.
