StarTech.com Model PXT101NB10 10 ft. Standard Laptop Power Cord

The StarTech.com PXT101NB10 is a 10-foot black laptop power cord with a North American NEMA 1-15 plug and an unpolarized IEC 60320 C7 connector, suitable for users who need extra reach between a compatible laptop and a power outlet.

Recommended For

• Laptop users whose power brick has a C8 inlet and sits too far from a North American outlet for a shorter cord; the 10-foot length extends the AC connection between the outlet and the brick.
• Home-office and workstation users replacing a missing or worn power-brick cord on a compatible device; StarTech identifies the cable for workstation and home-office use and as a spare or replacement.
• IT staff who need a replacement cord for compatible laptop bricks or other equipment with a C8 inlet; StarTech positions this cord for IT professionals and lists laptops, monitors, scanners, and printers as compatible device categories.
• Users replacing a two-prong figure-eight cord on a compatible charger or small electronic device; community discussions commonly identify this connector as C7, but the device must have a matching C8 inlet.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When a desk is too far from a wall outlet, connect the cord to a compatible laptop power adapter so the laptop can stay in its usual spot without moving the outlet or relying on a separate extension cord.
• If the detachable AC lead for a laptop power brick is lost or damaged, use this as a replacement—provided the adapter has a compatible C7 inlet—without replacing the entire power adapter.
• For a home-office or workstation setup, route the longer AC lead from the outlet to a compatible adapter placed under or beside the desk, giving more flexibility in where the power brick sits.
• For someone who works in more than one room, keep a compatible C7 power cord at each workstation and move the laptop adapter as needed, rather than unplugging and relocating one short AC lead each time.
