Need a replacement IEC C13 power cord but want a thicker-gauge option for a workstation, office setup, or longer cable run? This 16 AWG heavy-duty AC power cord uses a molded NEMA 5-15P plug for a standard U.S. grounded outlet and an IEC C13 connector for equipment with an IEC C14 inlet; it is rated 13A at 125V and gives buyers a more substantial computer power cord option than a light-duty cable. Compared with smaller-gauge conductors of the same material and length, 16 AWG has lower conductor resistance, so the gauge becomes more meaningful when cable length increases or when equipment operates closer to the cord's rated load. Molded NEMA 5-15P and IEC C13 ends support routine workstation moves and IT replacements; the SJT jacket is marked 105°C / 300V, and the current drawing states that relevant materials comply with RoHS requirements. Best for: desktop PCs, workstations, monitors, printers, servers, powered speakers, and other IEC C14 equipment within 13A at 125V; Not for: IEC C5 cloverleaf, C7 figure-8, C19, or equipment above the cord rating.
Use this 16 AWG cord for power cord replacement when a desktop PC, workstation, monitor, printer, or server has an IEC C14 inlet. It is especially useful when you want a thicker PC power cord, monitor power cord, or printer power cord for office IT, repair benches, AV racks, equipment moves, or longer cable runs rather than a light-duty spare.
Rated 13A at 125V with 16 AWG, 3-conductor SJT cable. The molded NEMA 5-15P plug connects to a standard U.S. grounded outlet and the IEC C13 connector mates with an IEC C14 inlet. The grounded plug makes this a 3-prong power cord; jacket markings specify SJT, 105°C, 300V, and VW-1, with approximately 8.5 mm cable OD on the drawing.
Works with any equipment using an IEC C14 inlet within 13A 125V. Quick check: desktop PC/workstation with C14 — Yes; monitor/printer/server with C14 — Yes; C5 cloverleaf or C7 figure-8 — No; C19 or equipment above 13A — No. Compatibility is based on inlet shape and electrical rating, not brand.
Wire resistance increases with length, so conductor gauge matters more as a cable run gets longer. For a long power cord run, 16 AWG provides lower conductor resistance than a smaller-gauge conductor of the same material and length. This makes the family a practical option for desk, workstation, rack, AV, or office layouts where the outlet sits farther from the equipment.
Each cord is sample-tested during production for continuity and performance. Manufactured to RoHS environmental standards. If your power cord arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly. Verify the IEC C14 inlet and equipment rating before installation.
