StarTech PXTF1016 6ft 18AWG Flexible Computer Power Cable

Overview

The StarTech PXTF1016 is a 6-foot (1.8-meter) flexible power cable designed to connect standard NEMA 5-15P wall outlets to devices with an IEC C13 power input. Its 18 AWG conductors ensure sufficient current capacity for most computing and surveillance equipment, while the flat-to-straight connector style minimizes protrusion behind racks or workstations. This cable is suitable for powering network switches, NVRs, monitors, or workstations in environments where a reliable power connection is critical.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any standard NEMA 5-15P wall outlet and any device requiring an IEC C13 power connector. This includes a wide range of IT and AV equipment such as desktop computers, monitors, printers, network switches, and many surveillance devices like NVRs and power distribution units (PDUs). The 10A rating supports common power requirements for these devices.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 37°F to 140°F (3°C to 60°C). Its 18 AWG wire gauge provides a balance between flexibility and current carrying capacity, supporting up to 10 Amps at 125 Volts AC. The flat-to-straight connector design is useful for tight spaces, preventing excessive bending stress on the cable or connector.
