SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Amazon Basics Universal Replacement Power Cord for PC using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the power supplies & cables category. Amazon Basics's power supplies & cables lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for power supplies & cables of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my desktop PC power supply?

Yes, if your PC uses the standard IEC320C13 socket, which nearly all ATX desktop supplies do. The wall end is a 3-prong NEMA 5-15P that fits any grounded North American outlet.

How long is the cord?

15 feet, which is substantially longer than the 3-to-6-foot cords most PCs, monitors, and printers ship with.

Is it safe for older or vintage equipment?

The cord is UL listed and rated for 125 volts with 18 AWG wire. Confirm your vintage device's voltage and current draw against its own rating plate before use.

Can I use this on a monitor or printer too?

Yes. The C13 connector is the same across most PCs, monitors, and printers, so one cord covers all three. The listing notes compatibility with most such devices.
