Description

StarTech PAC1013 AC Power Extension Cord 3ft/1m

Overview

The StarTech PAC1013 is a 3-foot (1-meter) NEMA 5-15R to NEMA 5-15P power extension cable. This 16 AWG cord is designed to provide reliable power delivery for devices such as network video recorders (NVRs), surveillance cameras, or other IT equipment where the standard power cord length is insufficient. Its robust construction ensures stable power flow, preventing voltage drops over its short length, which is critical for maintaining consistent operation of sensitive electronics. The PAC1013 is suitable for extending power in rack-mount environments or behind workstations where outlet access is limited.

Compatibility

This extension cord is compatible with any standard NEMA 5-15R power supply or device. It is commonly used to extend power for commercial-grade surveillance equipment, including network switches, NVRs, and IP cameras that utilize a standard NEMA 5-15P input connector. The 16 AWG wire gauge supports up to 13 amps at 125 volts AC, ensuring it can handle the power requirements of most single-device power supplies within this rating.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from PVC, offering flexibility and durability for typical indoor installations. It is rated for a temperature range of 37°F to 140°F (3°C to 60°C). The cable meets the VW-1 fire rating standard, indicating its resistance to flame propagation. Ensure the connected device's power draw does not exceed the cable's 13A rating to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.
