Hosa PWC-408 14 AWG Power Cord — IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P, 8ft
PWC-408 Overview
The Hosa PWC-408 is an 8ft heavy-duty replacement power cord designed to connect IEC C14 inlet equipment to standard North American NEMA 5-15P wall outlets. Built around 14 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, it delivers significantly lower resistance than standard 18 AWG cables, making it well-suited for power-hungry gear including tube amplifiers, powered loudspeakers, and large-format mixing consoles. Rated at 15A / 125V AC, the PWC-408 meets the demands of professional audio, live sound, and studio environments where consistent, unimpeded power delivery is critical. It is an ideal choice for audio engineers, touring companies, system integrators, and venue technicians requiring a reliable, high-current power solution.
The matte black PVC jacket keeps the cable low-profile on stage, while molded strain relief connectors at both ends ensure long-term durability through repeated plugging and unplugging cycles.
Key Features
- 14 AWG OFC Conductors — Three Oxygen-Free Copper conductors reduce resistance and heat buildup, supporting high-current draw compared to standard 18 AWG cables
- IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P Configuration — Connects directly to the IEC C14 inlets found on amplifiers, powered speakers, studio monitors, mixing consoles, and rack-mount equipment
- 15A / 125V AC Rating — Meets North American power standards for high-wattage professional audio and computing hardware
- 8ft Cable Length — Provides practical reach for stage, rack, and studio installations without excess cable management burden
- Durable Black PVC Jacket — Resists cuts and abrasion while remaining flexible; matte black finish minimizes stage visibility
- Molded Strain Relief Connectors — Reinforced terminations at both ends extend cable lifespan under frequent connection cycles
