Nippon Labs 30POW-10W1-02203-RD computer power extension cord 3 ft 18 AWG red C14 to C13

Red C13/C14 extension cord

This red three-foot cable carries a C14 plug on one end and a C13 socket on the other, letting you extend an existing IEC power lead. It is built for administrators who need to reach a PDU or UPS in a dense rack without rewiring the whole circuit. The 18 AWG conductors are rated for 10 A at 250 V and are fully moulded for durability. UL, cUL and CSA approvals plus RoHS and REACH compliance cover the major safety and environmental standards.

Replacing short factory leads

The cord replaces the short captive cable that ships with many servers, switches or storage units when the outlet is farther away than the stock lead allows. It is worth installing whenever the equipment sits more than a metre from the power distribution strip and you want a tidy, colour-coded run instead of a daisy chain. The red jacket makes the circuit easy to trace in a crowded cabinet. Builders who need a longer reach than three feet or a different connector gender will need another solution.

Steady 10 A load handling

Under continuous load the 18 AWG SJT conductors deliver the rated 10 A without overheating, because the cable is designed for sustained data-centre duty rather than brief peaks. The fully moulded strain relief at both ends prevents the conductors from flexing where they enter the connectors. The jacket material meets UL SJT requirements for temperature and mechanical abuse in a rack environment. No active cooling or derating is required for normal cabinet temperatures.
