- Grounded Design: The NEMA 5-15P plug provides a crucial ground connection, making this cord safer for use with a broader range of equipment, especially those with metal enclosures, compared to non-grounded versions.
- Proactive Investment: This cord is a low-cost, high-value insurance policy for valuable electronics, preventing costly repairs or downtime due to electrical faults.
Disclaimer: Always verify that this cord and its 5 Amp fuse rating are suitable for the power requirements of your specific device. Using a fuse with a rating higher than recommended for the equipment can create a safety hazard.
