Tripp Lite Power Cord, NEMA 5-15P to C15, Heavy-Duty, 15A, 125V, 14 AWG, 8 ft. (2.43 m), Black

The Tripp Lite P019-008 is a heavy duty power cord designed to move high wattage equipment off the bench and into everyday service. One end features a standard NEMA 5-15P plug that fits almost any 125 volt wall outlet or surge protector commonly found in North America. The other end carries a C15 connector that mates with devices equipped with a C16 power inlet, giving you a direct, secure connection without adapters.

With an overall length of 8 feet, the cord gives IT staff and home users the freedom to place equipment on a rack shelf, desk, or cart while still reaching a distant outlet. The construction uses 14 AWG conductors, so the cable can safely deliver up to 15 amps without overheating or voltage drop, a key point when you are powering power over Ethernet switches, servers, or audio amplifiers that draw steady current.

The C15 side is molded from material rated for higher temperatures than a standard C13 connector. That extra heat tolerance makes the cord a natural choice for switches, routers, and other gear that run warm and often live in tight rack spaces where airflow is limited. If you have ever found a standard cable uncomfortably hot to the touch after hours of operation, swapping to this model can improve safety and extend the life of the equipment’s inlet.

Installers appreciate the straightforward design: plug it in, route it through cable management, and forget about it. The black jacket blends with rack hardware so the cord does not draw attention during audits or presentations. Whether you are replacing a worn cable in a data center, outfitting an AV cart in a classroom, or setting up a home lab, the P019-008 offers a reliable link between the outlet and your mission-critical device.

Because it is a Tripp Lite product, you can expect consistent quality, molded strain relief, and rugged insulation that stands up to daily movement and occasional accidental tugs. Keep one on hand as a spare, and you will always have a ready solution when a standard C13 cable is not up to the task.
