Three-Foot Power Extension Cord

This three-foot extension cord carries a NEMA 5-15P male plug to a NEMA 5-15R female receptacle. It is built for desktop PCs, monitors and peripherals that need a short reach to a wall outlet or power strip. The 18AWG copper conductors are rated for 10 amps at 125 volts.

UL-Listed Components and 100 Percent Copper

Manufactured with UL-listed components to meet UL62 and UL817 compliance standards. The cord uses 100 percent copper wiring tested for continuity and conductivity. Temperature-chamber testing confirms reliable performance under normal operating conditions.

Male-to-Female Layout for Inline Extension

The male-to-female connector arrangement lets the cord sit inline between a device and its power source without adding bulk. REACH and RoHS adherence supports reduced environmental impact and safe disposal. Weight is 0.7 lb.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the NEMA 5-15P male end to a wall outlet and the NEMA 5-15R female end to my device?

Insert the 5-15P male plug fully into a grounded 125V AC receptacle until the blades seat completely. Push the 5-15R female connector onto the equipment inlet until it clicks, ensuring the ground pin aligns.

When should I replace this 18AWG cord if the jacket shows wear?

Replace the cord if the PVC jacket is cracked, the connectors are loose, or the ground pin is bent. The 100% copper conductors are continuity tested, but physical damage compromises the UL 62 and UL 817 safety compliance.

What is the maximum continuous current this 3-foot 18AWG cable can handle before the conductors overheat?

The cable is rated for 10 amps at 125 volts. Drawing more than 10 A on the 18 AWG copper wires will cause temperature rise beyond the UL tested limits, so keep the load at or below the marked rating.
