15FT NEMA 5-15P to C13 Right Angle Universal Power Cord 18AWG SVT 10A/125V, Black
The CableLeader PW106-12XX is a NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C13 right-angle universal power cord that connects a standard US three-prong wall outlet to any computer, monitor, television, printer, AV component, or appliance fitted with a C14 inlet. The right-angle 5-15P plug exits the wall surface at 90 degrees, sitting flat against the outlet face and reducing total wall clearance by approximately 5-7 centimeters compared with a straight plug. The IEC 60320 C13 end terminates in a standard straight female receptacle (L/N/E configuration), and the cord runs 18 AWG SVT flexible cordage wired one-to-one between the two ends.
Electrical performance is governed by the 18 AWG conductor and the SVT jacket. The 0.824 mm² stranded pure copper conductors carry 10 amps continuous at 125 volts AC — a maximum continuous load of 1,250 watts on a standard US 120V circuit. The SVT jacket is rated VW-1 vertical-burn flame retardant, 300 volts, and 75°C under UL or 60°C under CSA. The outer diameter measures 6.3 mm, keeping the cord flexible enough for tight cable management behind wall-mounted televisions, recessed outlets, rear-of-monitor routing, AV credenzas, and narrow gaps between furniture and the wall surface.
Typical deployments target environments where a straight plug would not fit or would force the device away from the wall. Home theater installers reach for this cord behind wall-mounted TVs and AV receivers, where every centimeter of clearance affects the on-wall profile. Office and home users install it behind desktop PCs, monitors, and printers tucked tight against walls or partitions. Maker, music, and fitness setups use it for guitar amplifiers, subwoofers, treadmills, and powered speakers that must sit against a wall or inside a cabinet. IT technicians use it in rack edges and AV racks where a flush wall plug avoids walkway protrusion.
Safety certifications cover both the cordage and the molded connectors. UL Listing applies to the SVT conductor and the molded NEMA 5-15P and IEC C13 ends; the assembly carries cUL recognition for Canadian electrical code compliance. RoHS 3 directive compliance ensures the cord contains no restricted levels of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, or the four added phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP). The protective earth conductor runs continuous from the NEMA ground pin through the green conductor to the C13 ground socket, preserving downstream equipment grounding throughout the cord run.
Construction details favor field durability. The molded PVC overmolds at each connector lock the terminal crimps and the cable jacket into single strain-relief bodies — no screws, no clips, and no exposed wire to fray under repeated plug and unplug cycles. The right-angle plug's molded geometry keys the orientation so the cable always exits in the intended direction once seated in the outlet, which simplifies installation in pre-routed cable channels and behind fixed wall furniture. The marking block on the NEMA end is printed with the UL rating, voltage, current, temperature class, and flame rating so installers can verify compliance against local electrical code at a glance.
The black jacket provides a professional appearance and suits standard data center and enterprise rack deployments.
Compatibility & Ordering Information — PW106-12XX is compatible with the C14 inlet on every standards-compliant device, including desktop PCs (Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, MSI tower chassis power supplies), monitors (Dell, HP, Samsung, LG, Sceptre, ViewSonic, Acer, MSI, BenQ), televisions (Samsung, LG, Sharp, Vizio, Insignia, Hisense, TCL, Fire TV and Apple TV mains-powered models), printers (HP, Brother, Canon, Epson C14-inlet models), network gear (small UPSes, NAS units, switches, routers with C14 inlet), and AV equipment (receivers, amplifiers, powered speakers, subwoofers, guitar amplifiers, treadmills with C14 inlets). The cord is offered in standard lengths to fit short outlet-to-equipment drops, mid-range desk and AV runs, and longer wall-to-equipment routes; select the length option that matches the distance from your outlet to the device. Custom lengths, custom colors, bulk packaging, and OEM kitting are available on request — contact CableLeader for quotations.
FAQ
Q1. What is the difference between a right-angle power cord and a straight power cord?
A right-angle power cord (this product) has a 90-degree molded plug that exits the outlet flat against the wall surface, reducing total clearance by roughly 5-7 centimeters compared with a straight plug. A straight cord exits the outlet perpendicular to the wall and protrudes outward by the full plug body length. Electrically the two cords are identical at the same gauge and rating; the difference is purely physical — choose right-angle for wall-mounted displays, recessed outlets, and tight furniture-to-wall installations.
Q2. Is this NEMA 5-15P to C13 right-angle power cord compatible with my computer, monitor, or television?
Yes, for any device built to the IEC 60320 C14 inlet standard. That includes desktop PCs with internal power supplies, monitors with detachable cords (most Dell, HP, Samsung, LG, Sceptre, ViewSonic, Acer, MSI, BenQ models), printers with C14 inlets (most HP, Brother, Canon, Epson office models), mains-powered televisions using a C14 inlet (most Samsung, LG, Sharp, Vizio, Insignia, Fire TV, and Apple TV models), AV receivers, guitar amplifiers, powered speakers, subwoofers, treadmills, and small UPSes. Check the device's inlet — if it is a recessed three-pin male socket marked C14, this cord plugs in.
Q3. What is the maximum wattage an 18 AWG SVT power cord can deliver?
The cord supports 10 amps continuous at 125 volts AC, which equals 1,250 watts of continuous load on a standard US 120V circuit. The 10-amp ceiling is set by the SVT jacket rating and the C13/C14 interface — not by the wall outlet, which on its own is rated 15 amps. Confirm that downstream equipment draws no more than 10 amps at 125 volts before connecting. Common compatible loads include monitors (typically 30-80 W), desktop PCs (up to 500-800 W depending on PSU draw), printers in idle and active states, and most consumer televisions and AV receivers.
Q4. How do I install a right-angle power cord behind a wall-mounted TV or in a tight space?
Insert the right-angle NEMA 5-15P plug into the wall outlet first, oriented so the cable exits in the direction of your equipment (left, right, or downward). The molded plug body locks the cable exit direction once seated, so the cord stays flat against the wall surface. Run the cord behind the television, AV rack, or furniture to the device, then insert the straight C13 end into the device's inlet until it seats fully. Leave a small service loop near each end so the device can be repositioned without unplugging.
Q5. Which power cord length is best for a computer, monitor, or TV setup?
Match the cord length to the distance between your wall outlet and the device. Shorter options (1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft) suit installations where the outlet sits directly behind the equipment — wall-mounted TVs flush against the wall, monitors with rear-of-stand outlets, and tight AV cabinets. Mid-range options (15 ft) cover desktop PCs under a desk with a wall outlet at floor level, AV receivers a meter from the outlet, and standard living-room setups. Longer options (10 ft) handle wall-outlet-to-room-center routing for floor-standing speakers, treadmills, and free-standing equipment. Always leave 15-30 centimeters of service loop near each end for device repositioning.
