acbroad 6ft NEMA 1-15P to IEC C9 Power Cord 16AWG

This acbroad 6-foot power cord converts a NEMA 1-15P two-prong plug to an IEC 320 C9 two-prong inlet, rated 10A at 125V for older audio, sewing, and vintage electronics.

Designed for legacy gear that uses the small C9 figure-eight inlet, this 6-foot (1.8 m) cable pairs a molded NEMA 1-15P U.S. two-prong plug with an IEC 320 C9 female connector. The jacketed SJTW 16AWG two-conductor cable contains pure copper conductors and a flexible PVC outer layer, and both plug and cord are built to meet UL/CUL safety standards. Check the connector shape and pin spacing against your device — see the explanatory figure included with the product listing — to ensure compatibility.

What devices commonly use the IEC C9 to NEMA 1-15P connection?

The IEC C9 is a compact, two‑pin inlet found on many older electronics and some specialty equipment. You’ll often see it on vintage synthesizers, tape machines, classic hi‑fi components, and sewing machines that predate modern IEC C13 connectors. Always compare the inlet on your device to the C9 profile before ordering.

• Analog synthesizers and sequencers (e.g., older Roland and Akai models)
• Revox and Marantz reel‑to‑reel and other vintage audio gear
• Classic sewing machines and certain small appliances
• Devices requiring a small figure‑eight / C9 two‑pin inlet

How durable and safe is the acbroad 16AWG SJTW cable?

This cord uses 16 AWG pure copper conductors inside an SJTW-rated PVC jacket, offering flexibility and improved mechanical resistance compared with thinner cables. It’s molded at both ends for strain relief and carries UL/ CUL recognition for the plug and cable assembly. For typical indoor use and light outdoor exposure, the SJTW jacket provides extra weather and wear resistance.

• 16 AWG copper conductors for reliable current capacity
• SJTW PVC jacket for flexibility and abrasion resistance
• Molded NEMA 1‑15P plug for secure connection and strain relief
• UL and CUL recognized components where specified

Will this cord meet my power requirements and safety needs?

The cable is rated to carry up to 10 amps at 125 volts AC, which covers most small electronics, audio gear, and sewing machines that use a C9 inlet. Do not use it with devices that require grounding (three‑prong) or higher current ratings than 10A. If in doubt, consult your device’s label or a qualified technician for confirmation.

• Electrical rating: 10A, 125V AC
• Two‑conductor, ungrounded configuration — not suitable for three‑prong grounded equipment
• Check device power label for amp/voltage needs before use

How long is the cord and what installation tips should I follow?

The cable length is 6 feet (approximately 1.8 meters), offering enough reach for most tabletop and rack setups without excess cable clutter. Route the cord away from mechanical stress points, avoid sharp bends, and do not place it under heavy objects. If you need a longer run or a grounded connection, look for a longer length or a different plug type designed for grounded equipment.

• Length: 6 ft / 1.8 m for flexible placement
• Avoid pinching, kinking, or running under heavy furniture
• Not a replacement for grounded (three‑prong) power cables

Who is this for: This acbroad NEMA 1‑15P to IEC C9 power cord is intended for owners and technicians of vintage audio equipment, older synthesizers and sequencers, classic sewing machines, and any device with a C9 inlet that requires a reliable 2‑prong AC connection. It’s a practical option when you need a compact, UL‑recognized cable with modest current capacity and a flexible SJTW jacket. If you’re uncertain whether the C9 fits your device, compare the inlet against manufacturer documentation or contact us for verification.
