Our 5-15P-to-C13 Computer Power Cord with 16 AWG wire delivers enhanced power to computers, monitors, printers, and other office equipment. This heavy-duty cable features a NEMA 5-15P three-prong wall plug on one end and an IEC-320 C13 female connector on the other, making it the perfect replacement or extension cord for desktop computers and office equipment requiring higher current capacity. Built with robust 16 AWG 3-conductor SJT cable rated for 13A at 125V AC (1625W), this UL- and CSA-approved power cord delivers superior performance compared to standard 18 AWG cables, with lower voltage drop and better current handling. Available in multiple lengths to suit any installation, you can order the exact length you need to keep your workspace neat, tidy, and free of excess cable clutter.
