Frequently Asked Questions
Generic 6ft NEMA 5-15P to IEC C5 3 Prong AC Power Cord US Plug - Black | New
How long is this power cord?
The cord measures approximately six feet from end to end. This length is suitable for common office, home, classroom and presentation setups where the outlet is not directly beside the equipment.
What wall plug does the cable use?
It uses a NEMA 5-15P male plug, the standard three-prong grounded plug commonly used with compatible 125V outlets in the United States and Canada.
What is the connector on the equipment end?
The equipment end uses an IEC 60320 C5 female connector. It has a three-lobed shape that is often called a cloverleaf or Mickey Mouse connector.
What inlet does the C5 connector fit?
The C5 connector mates with a compatible IEC C6 appliance inlet. The inlet is commonly found on certain laptop power adapters, projectors, printers and other electronics.
Is this the same as a C13 computer power cord?
No. A C13 connector has a larger rectangular shape and is commonly used with desktop computers and monitors. The C5 connector is smaller and has a three-lobed cloverleaf shape.
Is this the same as a C7 figure-eight cable?
No. A C7 connector has two rounded openings and does not include a protective-ground contact. The C5 connector has three openings and supports grounded equipment.
Will this cord work with a laptop charger?
It works with laptop power adapters that have a matching IEC C6 inlet. Some laptop chargers use C5, while others use C7, C13, or a permanently attached AC plug.
Can it be used with Dell laptop adapters?
Many Dell laptop power adapters use a C6 inlet and accept a C5 cord, but connector styles vary by adapter model. Check the adapter before ordering.
Can it be used with HP laptop chargers?
Some HP power adapters use the IEC C5 cloverleaf connection. Other HP adapters use different power-cord types, so the inlet shape and electrical requirements must be verified.
Can it be used with Lenovo power adapters?
Certain Lenovo laptop adapters accept an IEC C5 connector, while others use C7, C13, or integrated plugs. Confirm the specific adapter’s inlet before use.
Does this cord work with projectors?
Yes, many projectors use an IEC C6 inlet and accept a C5 power cord. Other projector models use C13 or proprietary connectors, so compatibility should be checked first.
Can it be used with a printer?
It may work with printers that have a matching IEC C6 inlet. Printers with C14, C8, or fixed power cords require a different cable.
Is the cord grounded?
Yes. The three-prong NEMA 5-15P plug and three-contact C5 connector provide a protective-ground path when used with properly grounded equipment and outlets.
What voltage does this cable support?
The NEMA 5-15P format is commonly associated with grounded 125V connections. The complete cord’s actual voltage rating must be verified from the markings printed on its jacket or label.
What is the current rating?
The current rating depends on conductor gauge, insulation, certification, and manufacturer specifications. Do not assume the cord supports the full 15A capacity of the plug without checking its printed rating.
Can the cable be used outdoors?
It should be treated as an indoor power cord unless the jacket and packaging specifically identify it as outdoor-rated. Do not expose an indoor cord to rain, standing water, or severe weather.
Can it be connected to a surge protector?
Yes, provided the surge protector has a grounded NEMA 5-15R receptacle and the connected equipment remains within all electrical ratings.
Can it be used with a UPS?
Yes. It can connect compatible equipment to a UPS outlet that accepts a NEMA 5-15P plug. Check the UPS load capacity and the equipment manufacturer’s requirements.
How can I confirm compatibility before purchasing?
Look for a three-lobed IEC C6 inlet on the device or external power adapter. Then verify the voltage, current, grounding and cord requirements shown on the equipment label.
When should the cord be replaced?
Replace the cable if the jacket is cut, frayed, cracked, melted and certification ratings meet the equipment requirements.
When should the power cord be replaced?
Replace the cord if the insulation is cut, cracked, frayed, melted, or exposing internal conductors. It should also be replaced if either connector is loose, discolored, bent, burned, or unusually hot during normal operation.
