Middle Atlantic SignalSAFE IEC-36X20SC Standard Power Cord

The Middle Atlantic SignalSAFE IEC-36X20SC Standard Power Cord is engineered for professional installations where reliable power delivery and organized cable management matter. This bulk pack of 20 cords provides the dependable, consistent connections you need for racks, AV setups, studios, and home theaters. Built to the exacting standards that Middle Atlantic is known for, these cords combine rugged durability with flexible, easy routing, making them an essential part of any professional wiring kit.

• The cord uses 18-gauge wire for a balance of durability and flexibility, enabling smooth routing behind equipment racks and through cable trays. The 36-inch length is ideal for connecting devices to power strips or outlets located just behind or beside rack enclosures, reducing slack while keeping power paths clean and organized. With a focus on reliability in busy install environments, these SignalSAFE cords are designed to withstand the everyday wear of setup, break down, and transport in rental or staging scenarios.
• The IEC 60320-C7 connector on one end provides a compact, lightweight inlet suitable for a wide range of consumer electronics and small professional devices. This standard “figure-8” style inlet is common across AV gear, audio interfaces, monitors, and other equipment commonly used in studios and control rooms, ensuring broad compatibility without sacrificing performance. The straight NEMA 5-15P plug on the opposite end offers compatibility with typical North American 120V outlets while maintaining a slim, unobtrusive profile that minimizes clearance issues behind furniture and racks.
• Each cord is built to deliver dependable power for everyday professional use, with a focus on straightforward installation and maintenance. The 36-inch length provides generous reach for multi-device setups, while the 18-gauge conductors maintain flexibility to bend around accessories and misaligned components. The result is a tidy, reliable power solution that reduces the nuisance of tangled cords and misplaced connections in environments ranging from broadcast studios to live performance venues.
• This is a bulk pack of 20 cords, designed to streamline large deployments and recurring maintenance. Whether you’re outfitting an entire facility, stocking a rental inventory, or standardizing gear across multiple rooms, the 20-pack ensures you have uniform power cords on hand for consistent performance. Standardizing cords also helps with labeling, troubleshooting, and a faster turn-up during installations or relocating gear between venues.
• The SignalSAFE branding emphasizes a focus on safety and reliability in demanding installation environments. These cords are designed to keep power paths predictable and easy to manage, helping technicians avoid cable fatigue and accidental disconnections during setup, testing, and daily operation. For integrators and AV professionals, the IEC-36X20SC supports clean cable management and repeatable performance across multiple pieces of equipment, contributing to safer, more efficient rack builds and service routines.
