Manufacturer description

The Tripp Lite P006-006-2 power cord splitter runs two devices from one outlet. One end has a NEMA 5-15P plug that fits a standard North American receptacle. The other end splits into two IEC-320-C13 connectors, so you can power two computers, monitors, printers or other peripherals with C14 inlets from a single outlet. If your UPS or surge protector is short on outlets, this frees one up. The cable is 6 feet (1.83 meters) long overall. It is a UL-listed SJT cord with three 18 AWG conductors, rated for 10 amps at 125 volts. Remember that the 10A rating is shared by both C13 legs. Add up the…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this splitter fit a standard desktop PC or monitor power port?

Yes, if the device has a standard IEC C14 inlet, which most desktop PSUs, monitors and printers use. Each of the two C13 ends plugs into one C14 inlet.

Can I run two gaming PCs off this one cord?

Only if their combined draw stays under the cord's 10A rating at 125V. That limit is shared by both legs, so two high-wattage systems under heavy load can exceed it.

How long is the cable?

It is 6 feet (1.83 meters) overall, from the NEMA 5-15P plug to the C13 ends. The listing gives different figures for the trunk and leg lengths, so measure the distance between your devices before you buy.

What gauge and jacket does the cord use?

It is a UL-listed SJT power cord with three 18 AWG conductors, rated for 10 amps at 125 volts.

Does the Tripp Lite P006-006-2 have a warranty?

Yes. Tripp Lite covers it with a lifetime limited warranty. Check the product listing or the Tripp Lite website for the full terms and how to file a claim.
