Description

StarTech PXT515C158 8ft C15 to 5-15P Power Cord

Overview

The StarTech PXT515C158 is an 8-foot (2.4-meter) power cord designed to connect devices with an IEC C15 power inlet to a standard NEMA 5-15P wall outlet. This cord is essential for powering a variety of commercial equipment, including certain network switches, servers, and surveillance devices that require a C15 connection and operate on a 125V AC circuit. Its 14 AWG wire gauge ensures it can handle up to 15A, providing stable power delivery where it's needed.

Compatibility

This power cord is compatible with any device featuring an IEC 60320 C15 power receptacle, commonly found on high-power network equipment, IT infrastructure components, and specific surveillance hardware. It connects to any standard North American NEMA 5-15R receptacle (wall outlet or power strip). The 125V AC rating makes it suitable for standard US and Canadian power grids.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from PVC, offering flexibility and durability for standard indoor installations. The cord is rated for a temperature range of 37°F to 221°F (3°C to 105°C), accommodating environments with moderate temperature fluctuations. The wire gauge of 14 AWG supports up to 15A current draw, suitable for most C15-rated devices. Its VW-1 fire rating indicates it meets specific flame retardancy standards.
