StarTech PAC520PLR3 Heavy Duty Extension Cord
Overview
The StarTech PAC520PLR3 is a 3-foot (1-meter) heavy-duty extension cord designed to bridge specific power connector types in commercial and industrial environments. It's engineered to reliably deliver power from a 125V AC, 13A source to equipment requiring a NEMA 5-20P connection, ensuring your surveillance or automation gear stays powered. The PAC520PLR3 is suitable for extending power to devices in rack-mounted systems or when the primary outlet is not optimally positioned. This cord is rated for 125V and 13A, with a robust 12 AWG wire gauge to handle significant loads without overheating.
Compatibility
This extension cord is specifically designed to connect a NEMA L5-20R locking connector to a NEMA 5-20P straight-blade connector. The NEMA L5-20R is a 20A, 125V locking connector commonly found on higher-capacity power distribution units (PDUs) or generator outlets. The NEMA 5-20P is a standard 20A, 125V straight-blade connector used by many commercial-grade devices, including servers, network switches, and some surveillance equipment power supplies. It is essential to verify both the source and destination connector types before deployment.
Installation Notes
The operating temperature range for this cord is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). The PVC jacket material provides flexibility and durability, while the VW-1 fire rating indicates it meets specific flame resistance standards. The 12 AWG wire gauge ensures efficient power transfer and minimizes voltage drop over its 3-foot length, supporting the full 13A capacity without issue. UL62 and UL817 certifications confirm compliance with safety standards for flexible cords and cord sets.
