Cisco Standard Power Cord — 9.84 ft (3 m) NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C13 for Cisco Gateways

Power reliability is essential for any network gateway, and the Cisco Standard Power Cord is built to deliver dependable, safe electricity to your Cisco equipment and compatible devices. This cord is designed with everyday office and data-center use in mind, combining a generous 9.84-foot (3-meter) length with robust durability and safety features. It supports uninterrupted operation, helping you keep your gateway charged, online, and ready to perform. Whether you’re outfitting a new installation, upgrading an existing setup, or replacing a worn-out cable, this power cord offers the ideal balance of flexibility, safety, and compatibility for Cisco gateways and many other devices that rely on IEC 60320 C13/10A power connections.

• Extended length for flexible placement: 9.84 ft (3 m) of cord length gives you freedom to position your gateway in an optimal location, reducing outlet strain, improving airflow, and keeping workspaces tidy. This extra reach is especially valuable in crowded desks, under-rack installations, or multi-device setups where outlet availability is limited.
• Broad compatibility with common standards: Features a NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and an IEC 60320 C13 receptacle on the other, aligning with the most widely used power configurations for Cisco gateways and numerous other devices that use the same inlet/outlet arrangement. It’s a reliable, cross-brand option for mixed-network environments.
• Durable, safety-first construction: Built with a rugged jacket and high-quality copper conductors designed for long life, resistance to bending, and steady power delivery. The cord is engineered to endure daily plugging, unplugging, and routine handling in busy offices, labs, and data centers, while maintaining consistent performance.
• Plug-and-play simplicity: No adapters, no tools, and no complicated setup. Simply connect the IEC C13 end to the gateway’s power inlet and plug the NEMA 5-15P end into a standard outlet. The cable is ready to use out of the box, enabling quick deployments and minimal downtime during installations or upgrades.
• Safety and regulatory compliance: The cord is designed to meet essential electrical safety standards and is UL-listed to provide confidence in performance, protection against electrical faults, and consistency with professional-grade networking equipment environments.

• Power on the gateway and verify normal operation; if you encounter any issues, recheck connections and ensure the outlet is supplying power.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What devices is this power cord compatible with? The Cisco Standard Power Cord is designed for Cisco gateways and other devices that use an IEC 60320 C13 inlet paired with a standard NEMA 5-15P outlet. It’s compatible with a wide range of networking equipment that uses the same power configuration, making it a versatile choice for mixed-brand environments where Cisco gear is part of the lineup.

Q: What is the length of the cord? The cord measures 9.84 feet (3 meters), providing substantial reach for setups that place gateways away from wall outlets or behind furniture, racks, or desks while maintaining clean, organized cable management.

Q: Is this power cord UL listed? Yes. This cord is UL-listed and manufactured to meet recognized safety standards, offering dependable electrical performance and protection in office, lab, and data-center contexts.

Q: What voltage and current does it support? It is rated for 100–125 V AC at up to 10 A, which covers standard US electrical guidelines for most gateway devices and related networking equipment. For environments outside the US, ensure the power system and outlets align with the cord’s rating or select a regionally appropriate version.

Q: Can I use it outside the United States? The included plug is a US NEMA 5-15P. For use in other regions, you would typically need a region-specific plug or a cord rated for the local voltage and outlet type. The IEC C13 end remains compatible with devices that accept this inlet, but you’ll need to verify the correct plug configuration for your country.
