Hosa PWC-415 — 14 AWG IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P Heavy-Duty Power Cord, 15ft
PWC-415 Overview
The Hosa PWC-415 is a 15-foot heavy-duty 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 reduced resistance compared to standard 18 AWG cables, making it well-suited for power-hungry gear including tube amplifiers, powered loudspeakers, and large mixing consoles. Rated at 15A/125V AC, the PWC-415 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, and system integrators requiring a reliable, high-current power solution.
The cord’s matte black PVC jacket offers durability against cuts and abrasion while maintaining a low-profile appearance on stage, and molded strain relief connectors at both ends support longevity through repeated connection cycles.
Key Features
- 14 AWG OFC Conductors — Three oxygen-free copper conductors reduce resistance and heat buildup, supporting high-current draw from amplifiers, active speakers, and consoles
- IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P Configuration — Connects directly to the IEC C14 inlet found on professional audio and video equipment to standard North American wall outlets
- 15A/125V AC Rating — Meets North American power standards for high-current professional applications
- Durable Black PVC Jacket — Resists cuts and abrasion while remaining flexible; matte black finish reduces stage visibility
- Molded Strain Relief Connectors — Reinforced terminations at both ends extend cable lifespan under frequent plugging and unplugging
- 15-Foot Length — Provides practical reach for stage, rack, and studio installations where equipment is distanced from power sources
Connectivity & I/O
- IEC C13 connector (equipment end)
