Monoprice 6ft 14AWG Power Cord Cable w/ 3 Conductor PC Power Connector Socket

Bottom line: The Monoprice 6ft 14AWG Power Cord Cable: 14AWG conductor, thicker than the thin cords bundled with most PCs and monitors; main trade-off: 6ft only in this listing; longer runs need a different Monoprice SKU.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 14AWG conductor, thicker than the thin cords bundled with most PCs and monitors
  • ✓ Rated for a 15A, 125V load with headroom for high-draw ATX and AT supplies
  • ✓ Monoprice lifetime warranty covers all of its cables, including this one
  • ✓ 3-conductor grounded NEMA 5-15P to IEC C13, the universal PC power inlet

Cons

  • ✗ 6ft only in this listing; longer runs need a different Monoprice SKU
  • ✗ 14AWG is stiffer than 18AWG, so it fights tight cable routing behind a desk
  • ✗ Black only, so it stands out in a white or light-colored build
  • ✗ NEMA 5-15P plug is North American; useless outside 125V outlet regions

Manufacturer description

This Monoprice 6ft power cord replaces the NEMA 5-15P to IEC-320-C13 cable that PC power supplies made standard, and the 14AWG conductor is the reason to pick it over the thin cord bundled with most gear. Monoprice rates the cable for a 15A, 125V load, so it has headroom for high-draw builds, vintage AT and ATX supplies, and the CRT monitors and laser printers that retro benches tend to accumulate. The 3-conductor grounded design fits anything using the standard PC inlet: desktops, monitors, printers, projectors, and HDTVs. Six feet is the practical middle length for reaching a wall outlet…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my PC power supply?

Yes. It terminates in an IEC-320-C13 connector, the standard PC power inlet used by ATX and AT supplies, and a NEMA 5-15P wall plug on the other end.

How thick is the wire, and does that matter?

14AWG. That is thicker than the 18AWG cords bundled with most consumer gear, giving you more conductor for the 15A, 125V load this cable is designed to carry.

What else can I plug into it besides a computer?

Monoprice lists monitors, printers, projectors, and HDTVs. Any device with the standard 3-prong C13 inlet accepts it.

Is it grounded?

Yes. It is a 3-conductor cable with the standard 3-prong wall plug, so the ground pin is carried through to the equipment.

What is the warranty?

Monoprice applies its Lifetime Warranty to all of its cables, this one included. Check the product listing for current terms and claim process.
