Heavy-Duty 12 AWG Power Cable

This 12 AWG power cord connects a NEMA L5-20R locking receptacle to a standard NEMA 5-20P plug. It is built for server racks, power distribution units and similar equipment needing a secure 20 A connection. The short 0.3 m length keeps cable management tidy in dense rack environments. Rated for 125 V AC, it supplies reliable power to compatible hardware.

Check Your Connector Types Before Buying

Verify that your power source provides a NEMA 5-20R outlet rated for 20 A service. Confirm the device you are powering has a NEMA L5-20P locking plug to match the cable's L5-20R end. Ensure your circuit and wiring support the full 20 A load at 125 V. Buyers needing a different plug style, a longer reach or a lower amperage rating should look for an alternative cable.

Questions about this item

Does the box include only the .3 m 12 AWG cord with NEMA-L5-20R and NEMA-5-20P ends, or are any adapters also supplied?

The package contains the single .3 m heavy-duty power cord with a NEMA-L5-20R receptacle on one end and a NEMA-5-20P plug on the other; no extra adapters are included.

When should I choose this 12 AWG 20 A version instead of a lighter-gauge cord?

Select this 12 AWG cable when the connected equipment draws up to 20 A at 125 V, such as servers or PDUs that require a NEMA-L5-20R inlet, because the heavier gauge safely handles the higher current.
