Cons

  • ✗ Ships as a pack of 1, so a multi-machine bench needs several orders

  • ✗ 6 feet may be short for floor-standing towers on a long wall run
  • ✗ No right-angle plug, so it sits proud of the wall behind furniture

Manufacturer description

The C2G 6FT Premium Replacement AC Power Cord is the standard three-prong cable that connects a PC, monitor, printer, or TV to a wall outlet, and it is the part most likely to go missing when you move a rig or pull a retro machine out of storage. This C2G power cord uses 18-gauge conductors in a fully molded body, so the connector ends resist the flexing and yanking that crack thinner cheap cables at the strain relief. The female IEC end plugs into your device, the male end into any standard outlet, which makes it a drop-in replacement for most desktops, CRT and LCD monitors, scanners…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my desktop PC power supply?

Yes if your supply uses the common 3-pin shroud inlet, which covers most ATX desktops as well as older AT units. The cord has a female connector for the device and a male plug for a standard outlet.

How long is the cord?

Six feet, which is enough to reach from a desk-height or floor-standing machine to a nearby outlet or surge strip without pulling the plug half out.

What gauge wire does it use?

18 AWG. That is heavier than the thin cords often bundled with low-cost monitors and printers, and the whole cord is fully molded for durability.

Does it work with monitors and printers too?

Yes. C2G lists it as universal for laptops, monitors, televisions, printers, and other devices that use the 3-pin connector, including scanners.

How many cords come in the package?
