Description

StarTech PAC520PLR1 Heavy Duty Extension Cord

Overview

The StarTech PAC520PLR1 is a 1-foot heavy-duty extension cord designed to reliably deliver power to high-demand equipment. It features a NEMA L5-20R locking connector on one end and a NEMA 5-20P straight-blade connector on the other, suitable for extending power from a 125V/20A source to devices requiring a 5-20P plug. This cord is engineered for environments where durability and consistent power delivery are critical, such as industrial settings or for connecting robust surveillance or automation hardware.

Compatibility

This extension cord is compatible with any standard 125V/20A NEMA L5-20R locking outlet and devices equipped with a NEMA 5-20P plug. It is suitable for connecting equipment that draws up to 20A, including certain network switches, power distribution units (PDUs), or specialized industrial machinery. The 12 AWG wire gauge ensures it can handle the full 20A current without overheating, making it a reliable choice for power-hungry devices.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from PVC, rated VW-1 for fire resistance, and designed for operation within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). The 12 AWG wire gauge is critical for supporting the full 20A current capacity, preventing voltage drop and ensuring safe operation. Its 1-foot length is ideal for short-distance connections, minimizing cable clutter in tight spaces or within equipment racks.
