Cable Matters 15ft 16AWG IEC C13 Power Cord 2-Pack

The Cable Matters 2-pack of 15-foot, 16 AWG NEMA 5-15P to IEC C13 power cords provides grounded, heavy-gauge replacement cables for computers, monitors, printers and other IEC C13-equipped devices.

These long, durable AC cables are built to replace short or worn power cords and to give you extra reach for equipment placement without relying on extensions. Each cord uses a shrouded IEC-320-C13 connector on the device end and a grounded NEMA 5-15P plug for standard North American outlets. With a 16 AWG conductor and a 13A/300V SJT-rated jacket, the set is designed for typical desktop and AV power requirements while offering a tidy two-cord solution for paired devices.

How do these cords work with my desktop or monitor?

They plug directly from an IEC C13 equipment inlet on the device to a standard NEMA 5-15P wall outlet. That means no adapter is required for most PCs, monitors, UPS units, and many printers. The 15-foot length gives extra reach for flexible placement around desks or AV furniture.

• Connector: IEC-320-C13 (device) to NEMA 5-15P (wall)
• Length: 15 feet (4.6 meters) for extended reach
• Compatibility: desktops, monitors, projectors, speakers, printers
• Package: two identical cords for multi-device setups

Are these cords safe and durable for continuous use?

Yes — the cables use 16 AWG conductors rated for 13 amps and an SJT 300V jacket for added toughness. The shrouded IEC C13 and grounded NEMA plug improve contact security and reduce exposure of pins. They are intended for everyday home, office, and professional installations where typical power draws are within the cord rating.

• Wire gauge: 16 AWG supports common peripheral power needs
• Rating: 13A / 300V SJT jacket for durability
• Grounded plug and shrouded IEC connector for safer connections
• Designed to replace OEM cords or serve as backups

Why choose a 2-pack instead of a single replacement cord?

A two-cord bundle saves cost and keeps matched cable lengths for paired devices like a PC and monitor or a printer and amplifier. Having a spare also reduces downtime when you need to swap or relocate equipment. It’s neater and safer than using an extension cord with short device leads.

• Two identical 15 ft cords for paired installations
• Cost-efficient vs. buying single replacements separately
• Better organization and consistent cable routing
• Convenient spare for emergencies or future upgrades

What should I verify before buying these power cords?

Confirm your device uses an IEC C13 inlet and that its power draw does not exceed 13 amps. Also check whether a 15-foot cable is suitable for your routing needs and that you require a NEMA 5-15P plug for your outlets. If your equipment needs specialty connectors or higher current, choose an appropriately rated cable.

• Device inlet: IEC C13 required
• Outlet type: standard NEMA 5-15P (North America)
• Current: do not exceed 13A per cord
• Length: 15 ft for extended placement flexibility

Who is this for: The Cable Matters 15-foot 16 AWG 2-pack power cords are for anyone who needs reliable extended-reach replacements or matched cables for desktop computers, monitors, printers, AV equipment, and other appliances with IEC C13 inlets. They suit home offices, professional workstations, server racks with reasonable current draws, and anyone who prefers a heavier-gauge, grounded cord instead of thinner OEM leads or temporary extension solutions.
