Monoprice 10ft 16AWG Power Cord Cable w/ 3 Conductor PC Power Connector Socket (C13/5-15P) - Black

Bottom line: The Monoprice 10ft 16AWG Power Cord Cable: 16AWG conductor gauge, heavier than the 18AWG cords bundled with most PSUs; main trade-off: 10ft is excess slack for a desk-side tower; no shorter option in this SKU.
