Power Cords

Hosa PWD‑401 – Piggyback IEC C13 to NEMA 5‑15P Power Cord (1 ft) Overview The Hosa PWD‑401 is a daisy‑chain style power cord, designed to convert an IEC C14 inlet into a NEMA 5‑15P male plug while preserving the original IEC C13 outlet for chaining additional equipment. It’s especially useful in rack installations, power distribution setups, or any situation where you want to “stack” power connections without losing a receivable input. Key Features & Benefits Piggyback (daisy‑chain) configuration: IEC C13 female + NEMA 5‑15P male 14 AWG, 3‑conductor, Oxygen‑Free Copper (OFC) cable for low resistance Black PVC jacket: flexible, durable, professional appearance Compact 1 ft length—ideal for close spacing in racks or tight installations Designed to maintain an available IEC C13 port for adding another device Suitable for North American / NEMA standard power systems Specifications Parameter Value Cable Length 1 ft (approx. 30 cm) Conductors 3 × 14 AWG, Oxygen‑Free Copper Input Connector IEC C13 (female) Output Connector NEMA 5‑15P (male) Jacket Material PVC, black Use Case Daisy‑chaining in rack enclosures or behind equipment stacks Standard Compliance Meets typical North American power cord safety norms Typical Use / Application Scenario In a pro audio rack, you might have several devices each with an IEC C14 inlet, but limited number of free power outlets. Using a PWD‑401, you can plug it into a device’s C14 inlet, and then use its male NEMA plug to connect to a wall outlet or power conditioner — while still leaving the original C13 accessible to feed another device. You can “stack” multiple PWD‑401 units in line to extend the chain. This is particularly helpful for neat cable routing and reducing the number of dropped outlets in one rack. Tips & Best Practices Ensure that the total current of all chained devices doesn’t exceed the cable’s safe current rating (based on 14 AWG and typical power cord design). Keep the run as short as feasible to reduce voltage drop (1 ft helps minimize this). Use snug, strain-relieved terminations to avoid stress at connection points. Avoid sharp bends close to the connectors—leave some flex radius. For critical or high-current devices, use dedicated power runs rather than chaining multiple loads. Why Buy from Tri‑Tek Electronics?

Hosa PWA‑486 — Right‑Angle Power Adapter (NEMA 5‑15R → NEMA 5‑15P) Product Overview The Hosa PWA‑486 is a compact, right‑angle AC power adapter that converts a female NEMA 5‑15R receptacle to a male NEMA 5‑15P plug. It reorients a standard grounded three-prong plug by 90 degrees, allowing for more efficient use of space in tight or shallow installation areas such as behind furniture, AV racks, and wall-mounted equipment. This adapter supports full three-wire electrical connectivity—hot, neutral, and ground—ensuring safe and reliable power transmission. Its durable design makes it suitable for both residential and professional AV, IT, and low-voltage environments. Key Features & Specifications Parameter Description Input / Receptacle NEMA 5‑15R (female, grounded) Output / Plug NEMA 5‑15P (male, grounded) Orientation 90° right-angle Electrical Support 3-wire (grounded) configuration Use Environment Tight clearance spaces, equipment racks, wall outlets Build Rigid molded body for durability and contact security Use Cases & Best Practices Flush Wall or Tight Outlet SpacesIdeal when a standard power cord cannot fit due to limited clearance between the plug and the wall. The 90° design allows the cord to exit parallel to the wall, saving space and reducing strain. AV & IT Rack SystemsCommonly used behind equipment racks where power strips or devices must fit close to mounting surfaces. Helps maintain clean cable paths and prevents plug interference. Improved Cable ManagementHelps direct power cords downward or sideways immediately after exiting the receptacle, reducing stress on plugs and improving wire dressing in confined setups. Safe Grounded ConnectionsMaintains a full ground path, making it suitable for electronics and other devices that require grounded connections for safety and performance. Example Installation Scenario An AV integrator is setting up a media control hub inside a wall-mounted enclosure. The standard three-prong plug on the power conditioner would not clear the back of the enclosure without bending. The Hosa PWA‑486 adapter allows the plug to exit at a right angle, resolving the clearance issue and maintaining safe, reliable power delivery. In another case, a technician working in a shallow IT rack installs this adapter to allow a PDU's power cable to sit flush against the rear panel, reducing cable bend radius and improving long-term cable life. Tri‑Tek Electronics is an authorized distributor of Hosa products. We offer full manufacturer warranty, factory support, and competitive pricing.
