StarTech.com Model PXT101NB3S 6 ft. 3-Slot Laptop Power Cable

The StarTech.com PXT101NB3S is a 6 ft. black laptop power cable with a North American NEMA 5-15 plug and an IEC 60320 C5 connector, suited to replacing a worn or missing cord on equipment with a C5 power inlet.

Recommended For

• Laptop owners replacing a lost or worn AC cord when their power adapter has a three-pin IEC C6 inlet and they use a North American wall outlet.
• Home-office and desk workers who need a six-foot cord to connect a compatible laptop power brick to an outlet without relying on a shorter cord.
• IT staff or laptop owners who want a spare AC-side cord for compatible laptops, so a missing or damaged cord can be replaced without replacing the power brick.
• Mobile professionals who need a replacement cord for a compatible laptop adapter at work or while traveling in places with North American outlets.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When a compatible laptop power brick’s AC cord is worn out or missing, this cable can replace it and restore the connection to a North American wall outlet; the brick must have a three-slot IEC C5 inlet.
• For a laptop used at home and at work, keeping a spare cord at the second location can avoid carrying the AC cable back and forth, as long as the power brick uses a C5 connection.
• At a desk where the outlet is a little farther from the laptop’s power brick, the 6-foot length can provide more placement flexibility without needing a separate extension cord.
• For travel, a user can pack this as a backup AC lead for a compatible laptop adapter, so a misplaced or forgotten cord is less likely to interrupt charging.
• If a monitor, scanner, or printer has a C5 power inlet, this cord can serve as its replacement or spare AC cable instead of being limited to laptop use.
