1ft NEMA 5-15P to 5-15R 3 Prong Extension Cord, 16 AWG 13A 125V Grounded, Black

The Cable Leader NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R extension cord adds a grounded outlet exactly where you need one. With a standard three-prong NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and a NEMA 5-15R receptacle on the other, it extends power from any North American wall outlet to appliances, electronics and office equipment a short reach away. It is the simple, dependable extension cord for the home, office and workshop. Choose the length that fits your space, and keep one ready for the next time an outlet sits just out of reach.

What sets this cord apart is the conductor gauge. It is built with 16 AWG stranded copper, a heavier gauge than the thin 18 AWG cords used on many light-duty household extensions. The thicker copper carries current with less voltage drop and supports a 13A / 125V / 1875W rating, giving you solid headroom for power tools, kitchen appliances, vacuums, space heaters and other higher-draw devices that a thin cord cannot comfortably handle.

The cord uses a fully grounded three-prong design. Straight one-to-one Line, Neutral and Ground wiring keeps all three conductors connected end to end, so the receptacle delivers a safe, properly grounded outlet without adapters. The flexible SJT jacket is rated 300V and 75°C, and the molded plug and connector bodies provide solid strain relief where the cable meets each end. Because the connection is straight-through with no adapters or converters, it simply delivers the same standard 125V outlet at the far end.

This cord is built for indoor and general-purpose use around the home, office, workshop and job site. Use it to reach an outlet that sits just out of range, to power a tool or appliance at a workbench, or to tidy the run between a wall outlet and a desk, entertainment center or kitchen counter. The black jacket keeps it discreet against most floors, walls and furniture.

Safety and compliance are covered. The cord is UL and cUL listed, CSA certified and RoHS compliant, and the jacket is VW-1 / FT2 flame rated, so it meets the requirements expected of a quality grounded extension cord. The molded ends are designed for a consistent fit and long service life.

Whether you need a short cord to reach a nearby outlet or a longer run across a room, this 16 AWG 3-prong grounded extension cord delivers a safe, certified connection in the length you choose. Keep one on hand wherever a grounded outlet needs to go a little farther.

FAQ

Q: What is this extension cord used for?

A: It extends a standard North American outlet to power appliances, electronics, power tools and office equipment a short distance away. The NEMA 5-15P plug goes into a wall outlet and the NEMA 5-15R receptacle gives you a grounded outlet at the other end.

Q: Is this a 3-prong grounded extension cord?

A: Yes. It uses a three-prong NEMA 5-15P plug and a three-prong 5-15R receptacle with one-to-one Line, Neutral and Ground wiring, so it provides a fully grounded outlet.

Q: What gauge and amperage is it rated for?

A: It uses 16 AWG conductors and is rated 13A at 125V (1875W maximum). The 16 AWG gauge is heavier than the thin 18 AWG cords on many light-duty household extensions, giving more headroom for higher-draw devices.

Q: Can I use this cord outdoors?

A: It is built with an SJT jacket intended for indoor and general-purpose use. It is not a weather-rated outdoor cord, so it should not be left exposed to rain or permanent outdoor conditions.

Q: What is the plug and connector type?

A: The cord has a NEMA 5-15P plug (standard US 3-prong) on one end and a NEMA 5-15R receptacle (standard US 3-prong outlet) on the other.
