Key Features

  • 16AWG Thick Conductors — Thicker than standard 18AWG, reducing heat buildup and ensuring stable power delivery.
  • C14 to C13 Conversion — Extends the common C13 connector used by most PC power supplies and monitors. The C14 plug connects to wall outlets or UPS units.

Compatibility and Usage Notes

  • Supported Devices — Works with any device that uses a C13 female connector (PC PSU, monitor, printer, etc.) and requires a C14 male plug for extension.
  • Rating Check — Maximum 10A / 250V. Ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed this limit.
  • UPS Compatibility — Can be plugged directly into the C14 output port of most UPS units, simplifying rack wiring.
  • Cable Thickness — The 16AWG cable is slightly thicker but remains flexible. Make sure your routing path has enough space.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Desk Cable Management — Consolidate power cables from your PC and monitor into one extension for a cleaner desk setup.
  • Server Rack Wiring — Extend power from a PDU to devices that are farther away.
