10-Foot 18 AWG Outlet Saver Power Extension Cord with NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R Connectors for Computers, Monitors, and Peripherals
The C2G 10ft Power Extension Cord (03116) is an 18 AWG outlet saver cord with NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R connectors that extends the reach of standard 3-prong power cables by 10 feet while keeping surge protector and UPS outlets accessible. The outlet saver design prevents bulky AC adapters and power transformers from blocking adjacent outlets on power strips and surge protectors, maintaining full use of every outlet position on the strip.
Built with 18 AWG conductors and an SVT-rated jacket, this extension cord handles 125V/10A loads for computers, monitors, scanners, printers, and other office equipment. The fully molded connectors provide strain relief at both ends for long-term durability in commercial and industrial cable installations. The female NEMA 5-15R connector plugs directly into a device's existing power cable while the male NEMA 5-15P connector reaches back to the wall outlet or power strip, adding 10 feet of routing distance without requiring a replacement power cord.
Where the C2G 10ft Extension Cord Fits
- Server rooms and network closets where equipment racks are positioned away from wall outlets, the 10-foot reach bridges the distance between rack-mounted UPS units and outlet locations, and the outlet saver design keeps surge protector outlets available for additional equipment
- Office workstation deployments where computers, monitors, and printers need power routing through cable management systems under desks and through walls, the 18 AWG cord handles standard office equipment loads, and the fully molded connectors withstand repeated plug/unplug cycles
- Commercial AV and point-of-sale installations where displays, kiosks, and payment terminals require extended power reach from fixed outlet locations, the SVT jacket rating meets commercial installation requirements, and the NEMA 5-15 connector standard provides universal compatibility with 3-prong devices
What the C2G 10ft Extension Cord Delivers
- 10-Foot 18 AWG Extension: 10 feet of 18 AWG power extension with NEMA 5-15P (male) to NEMA 5-15R (female) connectors. Rated for 125V/10A loads. SVT jacket rating for commercial and industrial use.
- Outlet Saver Design: Female connector plugs into existing device power cables while the male connector reaches back to the outlet or power strip. Prevents bulky AC adapters from blocking adjacent outlets on surge protectors and UPS units.
- Fully Molded Construction: Strain-relieved molded connectors at both ends for maximum durability and long service life. Heavy-duty construction designed for permanent and semi-permanent installations.
- Universal Compatibility: NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R standard works with computers, monitors, printers, scanners, and any device using a standard 3-prong power cable. TAA compliant. Backed by C2G lifetime warranty.
How Many Amps Can an 18 AWG Extension Cord Handle
An 18 AWG extension cord like the C2G 03116 is rated for up to 10 amps at 125 volts, which provides 1,250 watts of power capacity. This rating covers the standard power draw of desktop computers, monitors, printers, scanners, and most office peripherals. For reference, a typical desktop computer draws 3-5 amps and a monitor draws 1-2 amps, so a single 18 AWG cord comfortably handles individual workstation equipment. For higher-draw devices like space heaters, power tools, or multiple high-wattage appliances, a heavier gauge cord (16 AWG or 14 AWG) is the appropriate choice.
