NEMA 5-15p To IEC 60320 C13 PC Power Cords

In North America, the standard outlets found in homes and businesses accept the NEMA 5-15p series of power plugs. These plugs are used on cords for common electrical equipment such as personal computers, guitar amps, and professional video equipment. On the equipment side of things, a C13 plug gets inserted and supplies power to the device. At Cables.com, you can find NEMA 5-15p power cords with C13 plugs in a variety of lengths. These cords are made with durable rubber casings and will last years if taken care of.

C13 female plugs into the Device.

5-15 Male Plug goes into the wall socket.

Also known as PC Power cord.

We offer them in various colors and lengths and can even custom build them. If you can't find the cable that you need, contact our team and speak to a cable specialist today.

 It is typically used to connect a networking equipment such as a server to a PDU or a wall outlet. These cables are constructed with UL mandated inner plastic frame molds to enhance terminal alignment and produce a high quality connector. The connectors premium quality ensures a snug fit with receptacles. Each assembly is 100% continuity tested and 100% HVT (High Voltage) tested and inspected before shipping

This cable is designed to connect an electrical appliance with a C14 inlet to line power. It is ideal for use with computer equipment and pro audio gear. 

Features include:

Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors for increased current flow

Black PVC jacket for durability and low visibility on stage

Intended for use in North America and with NEMA 5-15 receptacles

Connectors: IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P

Conductors: 14 AWG x 3 OFC

Available in the following lengths: 1ft, 3ft, 6ft, 10ft, 15ft, and 25ft, customized 

UL Listed

RoHS Compliant

Connectors: NEMA 5-15P & IEC 60320 C13

Voltage/Amps: 125V/13A

Computer Power Cord: USA NEMA 5-15P USA standard 3 pin plug to IEC C13 with 18/3 SJT black wire, 6 feet with UL and CSA approvals. SPDS stocks this computer power cord in both SJT and SVT wires and the only difference is that SJT has a thicker wire jacket for heavier duty applications. The power cord that normally comes with most equipment have very thin jackets and we prefer to use the thicker SJT UL wire for better durability and better protection against damage or interference. 

NEMA 5-15P to IEC320 C13 Power Extension Cord

Plug in power extension cord to make your work environment more flexible and efficient. And it is perfect replacement for old or unreliable power cords.

International Standards IEC 60320

IEC 60320 is a set of standards specifying power cords appliances up to 250 volts. Though different country owns different power cord types and standards, the IEC 60320 is recognized as an international standard used by most countries in the world. The “C” represents the code standard for connectors made by IEC 60320. Different types of connector are specified for different combinations of current, voltage and temperature.

Among the connector types, C13, C15 and C19 are the most commonly used ones in data centers. Details are listed in the table below:

IEC 60320 power cords uses even number for plug and odd number for the mating receptacle, and usually male appliance inlet is 1 higher than the sheet for the corresponding female cable connector. Therefore the most common used power cord types is C14 to C13 and C20 to C19. Other common power cord types also include C14 to C15 and C20 to C15.

Application in Data Center

Power cord is the ideal solution for powering a network device or connecting to the PDU and computer in a data rack or network wiring closet.

What is a NEMA 5 15p plug used for?

In North America, the standard outlets found in homes and businesses accept the NEMA 5-15p series of power plugs. These plugs are used on cords for common electrical equipment such as personal computers, guitar amps, and professional video equipment.

What is a C13 plug used for?

These C13/C14 connections are very common. They are used to plug in the AC power cord to computers, monitors, other peripherals, and audiovisual gear. This item is inserted between the existing AC cord and the device, and provides an external switch.

What are the different types of IEC320 power cords?

Different kinds of IEC320 (also known as IEC60320) power cords including C14 to C13 Power Cords, C14 to C15 Power Cords, C14 to C19 Power Cords, C14 to C5 Power Cords, C14 to NEMA 5-15 Power Cords, C15 to C20 Power Cords, C20 to C13 Power Cords and C20 to C19 Power Cords.
