NEMA 5-15 Plug To IEC C13 Receptacle Plug Adapter
This is a compact, block-style power adapter (also called a pigtail or direct connector adapter) that converts a standard North American NEMA 5-15 wall outlet to an IEC 60320 C13 receptacle for powering devices with IEC C14 plugs, such as computers, monitors, servers, or AV equipment. Unlike extension cords, it has no cable length—just the molded plug and receptacle connected directly (typically 2-4 inches overall, with minimal or no flexible wire between ends). The “UL Listed” certification ensures it complies with safety standards from Underwriters Laboratories for electrical shock and fire hazards. It’s perfect for tight spaces in racks, desks, or behind furniture where a full cord would be cumbersome.

Applications:
This adapter is designed for a variety of professional and commercial applications, including:
- Connating a UPS with a C13 output to a standard wall outlet.
- Replacing a damaged or lost original IEC C14 power cord inlet on a device.
- Data Center & Server Racks: Managing power connections in space-constrained rack environments (Right-Angle model is ideal).
- Office Workstations: Powering desktop computers, monitors, and printers.
- Audio/Video Equipment: Connecting pro-A/V gear that uses a C13 inlet.

Important Usage Notes:
- This product is an adapter and does not extend cable length. A standard NEMA 5-15 power cord is required to connect the adapter to the wall outlet.
- Ensure the total power draw of the connected equipment does not exceed the 15A/1875W rating.
- Do not daisy-chain multiple adapters or power strips, as this can create a fire hazard.
- Always inspect for damage before use.
