The C15 is the high-temperature member of the C13 family: same outline, but with a notch below the earth pin and a 120 °C rating, which is why equipment that runs hot specifies it. The blue jacket exists so you can trace one circuit across a crowded rack or bench at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14\/3 UL SJT 105°C BLUE NEMA 5-15P TO IEC-60320-C15\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypically used in data centers and for kitchen appliances such as electric kettles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe IEC-60320-C15 connector fits both C16 and C14 inlets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty 14 AWG cord, fully molded for durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue jacket for easy identification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL and cUL listed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll relevant materials comply with the RoHS and REACH directives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNEMA 5-15P\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIEC-60320-C15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSJT 14 AWG × 3C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmp\/Voltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15A\/125V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCable Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLengths\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30POW-10W1-51515-xx-BU (xx = length in feet)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1310\/9723\/files\/Capture_0dfd00d9-9a71-488b-acc8-c1e3039a8637.png?v=1736928464\" alt=\"Nippon Labs 14 AWG NEMA 5-15P to IEC C15 power cord\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData-centre and rack equipment whose inlet is a C16 — switches, some PoE injectors, environmental gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKitchen and lab equipment that runs warm: electric kettles, urns, heated plates, sterilisers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a lost or damaged OEM cord on anything that shipped with a notched C15 connector.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA C14 inlet that you would rather feed with a higher-temperature cord than a plain C13.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a C15 connector fit a normal C14 inlet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The notch on a C15 is an extra cut-out, so the connector still seats on a standard C14 inlet as well as a C16. The reverse is not true — a plain C13 cord will not fit a notched C16 inlet, because the ridge on the inlet blocks it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eC15 or C13 — which do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLook at the inlet on the equipment. A ridge below the earth pin means C16, and only a C15 will fit. A plain inlet is a C14 and takes either. If in doubt a C15 is the safer buy, since it fits both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 14 AWG mean here?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAWG is conductor thickness, and the scale runs backwards — a lower number is a thicker wire. At 14 AWG this cord is built to carry its rated 15A at 125V without the conductors heating up. A thinner cord with a higher AWG number carries less current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a SJT jacket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSJT is a thermoplastic-jacketed, hard-service cord — the heavier, more abrasion-resistant jacket used on equipment and rack cords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much load can I actually put on it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cord is rated 15A at 125V. The usual engineering practice is to keep a continuous load at or below 80% of a circuit or cord rating and leave headroom for inrush when equipment powers on, so size the cord to the equipment rather than to the outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nipponlabs.com\/blogs\/news\/power-cord-types-nema-iec-explained\"\u003ePower cord types explained: NEMA, IEC and wire gauge\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nipponlabs.com\/blogs\/news\/rack-power-cord-planning\"\u003ePlanning rack power: C13, C19 and PDU cord strategy\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nipponlabs.com\/collections\/north-american-power-cords\"\u003eAll North American power cords\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nippon Labs","offers":[{"title":"1 ft","offer_id":46421518385371,"sku":"30POW-10W1-51515-01-BU","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ft","offer_id":46421518254299,"sku":"30POW-10W1-51515-02-BU","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 ft","offer_id":46421518287067,"sku":"30POW-10W1-51515-03-BU","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 ft","offer_id":46421518319835,"sku":"30POW-10W1-51515-04-BU","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 ft","offer_id":46421518352603,"sku":"30POW-10W1-51515-06-BU","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ft","offer_id":46421518418139,"sku":"30POW-10W1-51515-08-BU","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1310\/9723\/files\/10w1-51515-xx-bu.jpg?v=1736934530","url":"https:\/\/nipponlabs.com\/products\/nippon-labs-14awg-power-cord-nema-5-15p-c15-1ft-8ft","provider":"Nippon Labs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
