iec320c13

These cords pair a standard grounded NEMA 5-15P mains plug on one end with an IEC 60320 C13 (female) connector on the other. Some listings offer the C13 in a right-angle (90°) version for tight spaces.

A 90° C13 connector lets the cord exit the device parallel to the chassis, saving space behind equipment, improving cable routing in tight spots, and reducing strain when device inlets are close to walls or furniture.

A splitter cable adapts a single mains connection into multiple IEC C13 outputs. The listings describe cables that let you power two devices with C14 inlets from a single NEMA 5-15 mains connection.

The splitter descriptions list 18 AWG x 3C, indicating three conductors (hot, neutral, ground) in the cable.

The IEC C13 (female) connector mates with a male IEC 60320 C14 panel inlet on the device or power adapter.

The NEMA 5-15P plug can be inserted into a nearby AC wall outlet, a UPS, or another compatible AC power source to supply mains power to the connected device.
