Hosa PWC-425 — 14 AWG IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P Heavy-Duty Power Cord, 25ft
PWC-425 Overview
The Hosa PWC-425 is a 25ft 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 lower resistance than standard 18 AWG cables, making it well-suited for power-hungry professional audio gear including tube amplifiers, powered loudspeakers, and large mixing consoles. Rated at 15A/125V AC, the PWC-425 is a reliable upgrade for touring rigs, installed sound systems, and studio environments where consistent, unimpeded power delivery is critical. Audio engineers, system integrators, and live production crews will find this cable a dependable workhorse for demanding applications.
The 25ft length provides practical reach for stage and rack deployments, while the matte black PVC jacket keeps the cable low-profile during live performances and blends cleanly into installed environments.
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 other demanding loads
- 15A/125V AC Rating — Rated for standard North American power delivery, suitable for high-wattage professional audio equipment
- IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P Configuration — Connects directly to the IEC C14 inlets found on studio monitors, stage amplifiers, mixing consoles, and server hardware
- Molded Strain Relief Connectors — Reinforced terminations at both ends extend cable lifespan under repeated plugging and unplugging cycles common in touring and rental environments
- Durable Black PVC Jacket — Resists cuts and abrasion while remaining flexible; matte black finish reduces stage visibility
- 25ft Length — Provides extended reach for rack-to-outlet runs, stage deployments, and installations where wall outlets are not immediately adjacent to equipment
Connectivity & I/O
- IEC C13 connector (equipment end)
- NEMA 5-15P plug (wall outlet end)
