High-Quality Power Cables for All Your Devices
Introduction to Power Cables
Power cables, also known as power cords or universal power cords, are essential components that connect electrical devices to a power source. These cables are designed to transmit electrical current safely and efficiently, ensuring your devices receive the necessary power to operate correctly. At CableLeader, we offer a wide range of high-quality power cables to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
Common Connectors and Specifications
Power cables typically feature two main connectors: Connector A and Connector B. The most common connectors used in our power cables are the NEMA 5-15P and the IEC-60320-C13. These connectors are widely compatible with a variety of devices, including monitors, computers, printers, scanners, TVs, sound systems, and many more.
Our power cables are designed with 18 AWG conductors, providing ample current-carrying capacity for most applications. They are rated for 10A/125V, ensuring safe and reliable operation. Additionally, our cables are available in various lengths, ranging from 1ft to 25ft, allowing you to choose the perfect cable length for your setup.
Shielded Power Cables
For environments with potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI), we offer shielded power cables. These cables feature a protective foil shielding that helps reduce noise interference, ensuring optimal performance and minimizing potential signal degradation.
Quality and Safety Assurance
At CableLeader, we prioritize the safety and quality of our products. Our power cables are UL, cUL listed, and CSA approved, meeting stringent safety standards. Additionally, all relevant materials used in our cables comply with RoHS and REACH directives, ensuring they are environmentally friendly and free from hazardous substances.
Durability and Longevity
Our power cables are designed for durability and longevity. They feature fully molded connectors that provide a secure and reliable connection, preventing accidental disconnections or damage. The cable jackets are made from high-quality materials, ensuring they can withstand regular use and wear and tear.
Applications and Connected Devices
CableLeader's power cables are versatile and can be used with a wide range of devices, including:
- Monitors
- Computers
- Printers
- Scanners
- TVs
- Sound systems
- And many more devices and appliances with IEC-60320-C14 inlets
Whether you need to replace a damaged or missing power cord or simply require additional cables for your setup, our power cables are an ideal solution. They provide a reliable and efficient way to power your devices, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Conclusion
At CableLeader, we understand the importance of high-quality power cables in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of your devices. Our extensive range of power cables, including standard and shielded options, offers a reliable solution for all your power needs. With our commitment to quality, safety, and durability, you can trust CableLeader to provide the best power cables for your devices.
Power Cable FAQs
What are the three types of power cables?
The three most common types of power cables are extension cords, appliance cords, and hard-wired cables. Extension cords are used to temporarily extend the reach of a power source, while appliance cords are designed to connect specific devices to a power outlet. Hard-wired cables are permanently installed and commonly used in residential and commercial wiring.
What are power cables called?
Power cables are commonly referred to as power cords, line cords, or mains cables. They are electrical cables that connect appliances or devices to a mains electricity supply via a wall socket or extension cord.
What is the difference between a power cord and a power cable?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a subtle difference. A power cord is designed for temporary power supply and is typically detachable, while a power cable is usually installed for long-term or permanent applications. Power cords are commonly used with appliances and electronics, while power cables are more often found in residential and commercial wiring installations.
Do better power cables make a difference?
Higher-quality power cables can make a noticeable difference, especially in audio/video systems or other sensitive electronic equipment. High-quality cables are designed to reduce noise interference, improve power transfer efficiency, and provide better shielding. However, the benefits may be less noticeable in less demanding applications. For optimal performance, it's recommended to use high-quality shielded power cables with sensitive equipment.
How do I choose a power cable?
To choose the correct power cable, you need to consider the amperage and voltage rating required for your equipment. Higher amperage typically requires a different plug pattern and a thicker cable size. Additionally, check the connector types (e.g., NEMA 5-15P or IEC-60320-C13) to ensure compatibility with your devices. Refer to the device's label or manual for the specific power requirements.
Are all power cables the same?
No, not all power cables are the same. While they may appear similar, power cables can vary in terms of conductor gauge, insulation material, shielding, and connector types. It's important to use the correct power cable specifically designed for your device or application to ensure safety and optimal performance. For example, modular power supply cables are not universal and should not be interchanged between different brands or models.
