Hosa PWC-403 — 14 AWG IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P Power Cord, 3ft
PWC-403 Overview
The Hosa PWC-403 is a heavy-duty replacement power cord built for professional audio and live sound applications where reliable, high-current power delivery is critical. Constructed with 14 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, it delivers significantly lower resistance than standard 18 AWG cables, making it well-suited for power-hungry equipment including tube amplifiers, powered subwoofers, and large-format mixing consoles. The cord terminates in an IEC C13 connector on the equipment end and a NEMA 5-15P plug for standard North American wall outlets, rated at 15A/125V AC. It is an appropriate choice for audio engineers, system integrators, touring companies, and venues requiring dependable power infrastructure.
At 3 feet in length, the PWC-403 is suited for rack-mounted gear, stage amplifiers, and studio equipment positioned close to power distribution, while its matte black PVC jacket keeps a low profile in live performance environments.
Key Features
- 14 AWG OFC Conductors — Three oxygen-free copper conductors reduce resistance and heat buildup, supporting high-current draw from amplifiers, powered speakers, and consoles
- IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P Configuration — Connects equipment with a standard C14 inlet to North American wall outlets, compatible with a wide range of professional audio and AV gear
- 15A / 125V AC Rating — Rated for North American standard line voltage, suitable for high-wattage professional equipment
- Durable Black PVC Jacket — Resists cuts and abrasion while remaining flexible; matte black finish reduces stage visibility
- Molded Strain Relief Connectors — Reinforced terminations extend cable lifespan under repeated plugging and unplugging cycles
- 3ft Length — Compact run length ideal for rack systems, desktop workstations, and stage amplifiers near power sources
Connectivity & I/O
- Equipment End: IEC C13 connector (mates with IEC C14 inlet)
- Wall End: NEMA 5-15P plug (standard North American 3-prong)
