Hosa PWC-178 — IEC C9 to NEMA 1-15P Power Cord
PWC-178 Overview
The Hosa PWC-178 is an 8-foot power cord engineered to connect electrical appliances equipped with a C10 inlet to standard line power in North America and countries that have adopted the NEMA standard. Built with 18 AWG x 2 Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, this cable delivers lower resistance and increased current flow compared to standard copper alternatives. The black PVC jacket provides durability, flexibility, and low visibility in professional and vintage equipment installations. It is well suited for audio engineers, system integrators, and technicians working with vintage hi-fi components and legacy audio equipment.
The PWC-178 offers a reliable, purpose-built solution for powering C10-inlet devices without improvised adapters or mismatched cabling.
