Three-foot extension for North American outlets
This three-foot AC power extension cord connects a NEMA 5-15R receptacle to a NEMA 5-15P plug, letting you extend the reach of a desktop computer, server or printer in a home office or workstation. It is built for indoor use and carries a UL listing under standards UL62 and UL817.
Rated for 125 volts at 13 amps on 16 AWG conductors
The single specification that determines fit is the electrical rating: 125 VAC at 13 A maximum on 16 AWG copper wire with an SJT PVC jacket. Only devices that draw within this voltage and current envelope should be connected.
Operates from 37 °F to 140 °F with no active cooling
The cable has no fan or moving parts, so it adds no audible noise and draws no power of its own. Its PVC jacket is rated VW-1 for flame resistance and remains flexible across the stated temperature range of 3 °C to 60 °C.

Questions about this item
What does the 13 A rating mean when the cord is plugged into a standard North American outlet?
The cord can safely carry up to 13 amps at 125 volts, matching the typical 15 amp branch-circuit limit for NEMA 5-15 receptacles.
Which safety standard caps the current this extension cord can handle in practice?
UL 62 and UL 817 listings limit the cord to 13 A at 125 V on a standard NEMA 5-15 circuit.
What clearance is needed behind equipment for the moulded connectors on this 3 ft cord?
The fully moulded strain-relief ends add roughly 2 in depth, so allow at least 2 in behind the device for a clean fit.
