Bottom line: The Cable Matters 2-Pack 16 AWG Low-Profile Right Angle Power Cord: Right-angle NEMA 5-15P sits ~0.5 in off the wall for desks pushed flush; main trade-off: fixed right-hand exit direction may fight left-side outlet layouts.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Right-angle NEMA 5-15P sits ~0.5 in off the wall for desks pushed flush

Cons

  • ✗ Fixed right-hand exit direction may fight left-side outlet layouts
  • ✗ 6ft length only, no shorter or longer options in this pack

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Cable Matters 2-Pack 16 AWG Low-Profile Right Angle Power Cord using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the power supplies & cables category. Cable Matters'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.

Key Features

  • Low-Profile Right-Angle Plug: The space-saving NEMA 5-15P plug extends approximately 0.5 inch from the receptacle, making the AC power cord suitable for outlets behind desks, cabinets, and furniture positioned close to the wall
  • Non-Blocking Outlet Design: The angled wall plug directs the cable to the right and leaves the lower receptacle accessible when connected to the upper outlet of a standard vertically oriented duplex receptacle
  • Right-Angle IEC C13 Connector: The 90-degree female connector plugs into a compatible recessed IEC C14 inlet and routes the cable parallel to the equipment. It extends approximately 1 inch for installations with limited rear clearance
  • 16 AWG Power Cord: The grounded NEMA 5-15P to IEC C13 power cable is rated for up to 13A at 125V. The flexible SJT jacket and molded strain-relief connectors support reliable use with compatible computers, monitors, printers, projectors, and other equipment
  • Convenient 2-Pack: Use the two 6-foot low-profile power cords with separate devices or keep one as a spare. Easy-grip molded connectors provide secure connections and simplify plugging and unplugging in confined spaces
