This power adapter cable converts a connection from an American NEMA 5-15R standard socket (female) to an IEC 60320 C14 industrial connector (male) . It is commonly used to connect equipment equipped with an American plug (NEMA 5-15P) to a power source with C13 socket, such as a UPS (Continuity Group) , a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) or another IT equipment. It allows you to use devices originally designed for the United States in environments using the IEC C13/C14 standard for power distribution. It is essential to note that it does not perform any voltage conversion; the input voltage (usually $120 \text{ V}$ in the USA for NEMA 5-15) must be compatible with the target device. A defect is its reduced length (often a short adapter) which limits the flexibility of positioning. Connector A: NEMA 5-15R (Femmina), standard US/North America, 3 poles (phase, neutral, earth). Connector B: IEC 60320 C14 (Maschio), input connector for PC/power supply, 3 poles. Nominal Voltage: Typically $125 \text{ V}$ AC (Standard NEMA 5-15R), although C14 can support up to $250 \text{ V}$ . Name current: $10 \text{ A}$ or $15 \text{ A}$ (depending on the AWG section of the cable, usually $18 \text{ AWG}$ or $14 \text{ AWG}$). Cable: Triple type (3 conductors), often $3 \times 18 \text{ AWG}$ (or $3 \times 0.824 \text{ mm}^2$ ). Function: Adapter for connecting US plugs (NEMA 5-15P) to UPS/PDU sockets (C13). Color: Usually Black . Certifications: UL and CSA certificate. Standard: Based on NEMA and IEC standards.
