Description

StarTech RTPAC1016 6ft 16AWG Power Extension Cord

Overview

The StarTech RTPAC1016 is a 6-foot (1.8m) power extension cord designed to provide flexible power delivery in space-constrained environments. Its primary function is to extend the reach of a standard NEMA 5-15R receptacle, allowing you to position equipment like network switches, NVRs, or surveillance cameras further from the wall outlet. The 360° rotating flat plug is key for installations where standard plugs would obstruct access or prevent furniture placement, such as behind racks, desks, or cabinets.

Compatibility

This extension cord is compatible with any standard NEMA 5-15R power outlet and can power any device utilizing a NEMA 5-15P plug. It is suitable for use with most low-to-medium power devices commonly found in IT and security deployments, including network switches, routers, NVRs, DVRs, and various surveillance cameras. The 16 AWG wire gauge ensures it can safely handle up to 13A at 125V, exceeding the requirements for most standard electronic equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from PVC, offering durability for typical indoor use. It is rated for operating temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (32°F to 104°F) and humidity levels from 0% to 90% RH. The cord is fire-rated VW-1, indicating its resistance to flame propagation. Its compact dimensions (1.5 in x 1.4 in) and lightweight design (9.5 oz) facilitate easy routing and management.
