Engineered with 14 AWG conductors and a heat-tolerant C15 connector, this 3 ft (0.9 m) cord balances compact length with higher-current capacity for demanding data center and server-room environments. It is UL listed and constructed with fully molded strain relief and a flame-resistant jacket for long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this C14 to C15 cable different from standard power cords?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PXTC14C153 uses a C15 connector designed for higher-temperature equipment, combined with 14 AWG (heavier gauge) conductors to safely carry up to 15A at 250V. This specification reduces voltage drop and improves durability where devices draw more current or run hotter than typical consumer electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIEC 60320 C14 to C15 configuration for heat-tolerant inlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14 AWG copper wire for lower resistance and higher current capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 15A \/ 250V and SJT PVC jacket for indoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVW-1 flame rating and UL62\/UL817 listings for safety assurance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow durable and safe is the cable for professional use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurability is built into the PXTC14C153: fully molded connector bodies and strain reliefs protect termination points, while the PVC SJT jacket resists abrasion and heat within its rated range.
