18 AWG Universal Power Cord FAQs
How many amps is an 18 AWG power cord?
An 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire is commonly rated for up to 10 amps at 125 volts. It is suitable for powering devices like monitors, computers, printers, TVs, and other household appliances that typically require less than 10 amps.
What voltage is 18 AWG rated for?
18 AWG power cords are typically rated for 300 volts AC when using an SVT (Service Vacuum Thermoplastic) insulation type, which is common for household and computer power cords.
What is an 18 AWG universal power cord?
An 18 AWG universal power cord is a versatile cable designed to replace damaged or missing power cords for a wide range of devices. It features common connectors like NEMA 5-15P (standard 3-prong plug) and IEC-60320-C13 (appliance coupler), making it compatible with monitors, computers, printers, TVs, and other devices with a C14 inlet.
What are the benefits of using an 18 AWG universal power cord?
- Cost-effective solution for replacing damaged or missing power cords
- Versatile compatibility with a wide range of devices
- Durable construction with fully molded connectors
- UL, cUL, and CSA certified for safety and quality
- RoHS and REACH compliant materials
How do I choose the right universal power cord?
To select the appropriate universal power cord, ensure that the voltage and amperage ratings match your device's requirements. Check the product label or user manual for the device's rated voltage and current, and choose a power cord with equal or higher ratings. Additionally, ensure that the connectors (e.g., NEMA 5-15P, IEC-60320-C13) are compatible with your device's power inlet.
Can I use a universal power cord with any device?
While universal power cords are designed for versatility, it's crucial to verify compatibility with your specific device. Never use a power cord with mismatched voltage, amperage, or connector specifications, as it can pose safety risks and potentially damage your equipment.
