1 to 2 NEMA 5-15P to C15 Power Extension Cable for High-Temperature Equipment Connections

Why Choose Our NEMA 5-15P to Dual IEC C15 Power Cable?

This cable is built for applications where connector type matters. C15 and C13 are similar at first glance, but they are not the same part. The notch on the C15 side is the key selection point.

Dual IEC C15 Connectors Match Compatible C16 Equipment Inlets

The output side uses two IEC 60320 C15 female connectors. This notched connector style is intended for mating with compatible IEC C16 inlets, helping buyers avoid the common mistake of specifying C13 when the equipment actually requires C15.

For OEM projects, this reduces connector mismatch during assembly. The benefit is direct: fewer reorders, fewer field corrections, and cleaner documentation for purchasing teams.

1 to 2 Splitter Layout Reduces Input Cord Count

The cable splits one NEMA 5-15P input into two IEC C15 output branches. Instead of using two separate wall-side power cords, equipment builders can route power from one defined input point to two compatible devices or modules.

This simplifies the power layout inside racks, test stations, power modules, and equipment cabinets. Fewer loose cords. Less confusion during installation.

NEMA 5-15P Input Supports North American Power Requirements

The input side uses a NEMA 5-15P male plug for compatible North American AC receptacles. It is a familiar plug standard for equipment buyers targeting US-market installations.

Final electrical performance still depends on the full assembly: conductor count, AWG, jacket type, connector rating, branch length, and certification route should be confirmed before production.

Molded Junction and Strain Relief Reduce Cable Stress

The splitter junction and connector exits can be produced with injection-molded strain relief. These molded transitions help distribute bending force along the cable jacket instead of concentrating it at the connector exit point.

This matters when cables are routed behind hot equipment, tied into cable channels, packed with systems, or repeatedly handled during service.

Complete Product Specifications

Buyer's Insight: The most common selection error is confusing C15 with C13. C15 has a notched connector profile and is used where the equipment inlet requires C16 compatibility. If your device drawing specifies C16, a C13 cord is the wrong choice even if it appears visually similar. Confirm the mating inlet before requesting quotation.

Professional Applications You Can Trust

For rack-mounted devices and power modules, equipment may require IEC C16 inlet compatibility because of the connector geometry and operating environment. This 1 to 2 NEMA 5-15P to C15 cable routes one AC input to two defined equipment points while keeping the branch layout organized.

For test benches and manufacturing fixtures, technicians often need repeatable wiring between a North American power source and multiple IEC-interface devices. A dual C15 branch design reduces loose adapter stacking and makes each connection easier to identify during inspection.

For OEM systems, branch length matters. If each C15 connector must reach a different internal module, customized branch lengths help prevent tight bends, cable loops, and blocked service access.

Advanced Safety Features

The NEMA 5-15P to IEC C15 structure should be used only when the connected equipment is compatible with IEC C15/C16 geometry. Connector mismatch can create poor mating, unstable contact, or procurement rework.

Ground continuity should be verified through the final conductor structure, wiring diagram, and certification documentation. The connector family can support grounded applications, but the final safety result depends on the approved production specification.

The molded strain relief helps reduce bending stress around the plug, splitter junction, and C15 connector exits. It is especially useful when the cable is routed through narrow cabinet channels or repeatedly handled during maintenance.

Manufacturing Excellence

Our factory supports OEM and ODM manufacturing for custom power cord assemblies, including NEMA plugs, IEC C15 connectors, splitter junctions, molded strain relief, cable printing, jacket selection, packaging, and compliance documentation. Inspection scope, test records, factory history, and certification files can be confirmed according to your purchasing checklist before bulk order approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between IEC C15 and IEC C13?

A: IEC C15 is the notched female connector used with compatible IEC C16 equipment inlets. IEC C13 is the common female connector used with IEC C14 inlets. Buyers should verify the inlet type on the device before selecting the cord.

Q: Is this NEMA 5-15P to dual C15 cable grounded?

A: It can be manufactured as a grounded cable assembly when built with the correct three-conductor structure. Ground continuity must be confirmed in the final drawing, wiring diagram, and certified configuration.

Q: What current rating should we choose for this cable?

A: The final rating depends on wire gauge, cable length, connector rating, jacket type, and certification route. Common options include 10A, 13A, or 15A. Match the rating to the total connected load across both branches.

Q: What information is needed for a quotation?

A: Please provide cable length, two branch lengths, wire gauge, jacket material, C15 connector direction, target certification, order quantity, packaging requirement, and any cable printing or molded logo requirement.

Custom Solutions for Your Business

Branch Length Customization: Define the main trunk length and two C15 branch lengths so each connector reaches the intended equipment inlet without excess cable inside the cabinet.

Wire Gauge & Jacket Selection: Choose 18AWG, 16AWG, or 14AWG pure copper conductor options with SJT, SVT, or PVC jacket configurations based on load, flexibility, and certification route.

Custom Molding: Adjust the NEMA 5-15P plug shape, splitter junction size, IEC C15 connector orientation, strain relief length, and molded logo to match your product structure.

Certification Matching: Cable markings, test documentation, packaging labels, and compliance files can be prepared according to your target market and purchasing checklist.
