Description

StarTech 231A-8A00-POWER-CORD 10ft Power Extension Cord

Overview

The StarTech 231A-8A00-POWER-CORD is a 10-foot (3-meter) power extension cable designed to provide additional reach for AC-powered devices. It features a standard NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and a NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the other, making it suitable for extending power to surveillance equipment, network devices, or workstations where the existing outlet is out of reach. This cable is rated for 10A at 125V, ensuring it can handle the power requirements of most standard electronics.

Compatibility

This extension cord is compatible with any standard NEMA 5-15P plug and NEMA 5-15R receptacle. It is commonly used to extend power for devices such as network switches, IP cameras, NVRs, access control panels, and other low-power IT and security equipment that utilize a standard 3-prong AC power connection.

Installation Notes

The cable is constructed with 18 AWG wire, suitable for the 10A rating. The SJT jacket provides durability and flexibility, while the VW-1 fire rating offers a degree of safety. The operating temperature range of -20 to 105°C allows for deployment in various environmental conditions, though care should be taken to avoid exceeding the maximum current rating of 10A. UL Listed certification confirms compliance with safety standards.
