Manufacturer description

The Tripp Lite P006-001 is a 1-foot NEMA 5-15P to IEC-320-C13 power cord built for the short runs where a standard 6-foot cable turns into a tangle behind your desk or inside a rack. If you are rebuilding a retro PC, feeding a monitor from a nearby PDU, or replacing a lost cord on a printer, this is the connector pair most desktop power supplies and peripherals already use. The cable is 18AWG (0.824mm) SJT jacketed and rated 10A at 125V, and it carries a UL listing. At one foot, it keeps power runs tight in a server rack, a shelf-mounted UPS setup, or a retro tower where cable slack has…

SpecPicks Verdict

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this power cord fit my desktop PC?

It fits any device with an IEC-320-C13 inlet, which is the standard receptacle on most desktop PC power supplies, monitors, and printers. Check the inlet on your device for the three-pin C13 shape before ordering.

How long is the Tripp Lite P006-001?

One foot. It is built for short runs, such as a PC or monitor plugged into a rack PDU, UPS, or power strip sitting directly beside or below the device.

What amperage and gauge is this cable?

It is 18AWG (0.824mm) SJT cable rated for 10A at 125V, and it is UL listed. Equipment that draws more than 10A needs a heavier-gauge cord.

Is this cord good enough for a vintage or retro PC build?

Yes, if the machine uses a NEMA 5-15P to C13 pairing, which most AT and ATX power supplies do. The 1-ft length is useful when the tower sits next to the outlet or on a shelf with a nearby strip.

Does it come with a warranty?

Tripp Lite lists a limited lifetime product warranty on this cord. Check the product listing for current warranty terms and coverage details.
