Review on 💻 StarTech.com 10 ft Universal Computer Power Cord (NEMA 5-15P to C13) | 14 AWG Replacement AC Power Cable for PC or Monitor | 125V @ 15A (PXT1011410) by Jodi Tisdale

I've always considered power cords with these plugs to be interchangeable between PC power supplies, monitors, etc. Power. The cable I used starts smelling, then smokes and hangs down like wet noodles. Obviously he used a wire that was too thin. The cord was likely bundled with a monitor rated for a relatively small amount of electrical current. In any case, it was a wake-up call. I ordered some of these thicker power cords (14 AWG is thicker than 16 or 18 AWG) to replace the thinner ones used to power power hungry computers. This cable doesn't even get hot when run at the same load that started melting my thinner cable.
