Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A 3 ft IEC power cable for gear that sits close to the outlet or on the same rack shelf as its power strip. Short by design.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Rack gear powered from a strip mounted in the same rack
  • Amp head or mixer sitting directly on a power conditioner
  • Replacing a lost cable on a pedal power supply or keyboard

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone needing reach — 3 ft goes almost nowhere on a stage
  • Gear with a captive, non-removable power cord
  • Gear using a 2-prong figure-8 or clover-leaf inlet instead of C13

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

3-conductor

Carries a ground, so grounded gear stays grounded. This matters for hum on audio equipment.

Detail 02

3 ft length

Enough to reach within a rack or across a desk. Not enough to reach a wall outlet across a room.

Detail 03

Detachable IEC style

Replaces the cable that came with your gear rather than requiring you to rewire or repair anything.

Detail 04

Black jacket

Disappears in a rack or behind a stage rig. Label both ends if you run several.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check your gear's inlet shape — a 3-prong C14 socket, not a 2-prong figure-8
  2. 02Measure the actual run before buying; 3 ft is shorter than most people picture
  3. 03One cable only — no power strip, adapter, or conditioner included

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this work with my guitar amp head?

If the amp has a removable 3-prong power cord, yes. Check that the socket on the amp has three pins inside a D-shaped housing.

02Is 3 feet long enough to reach a wall outlet?

Usually not. Three feet works when the outlet or power strip is right at your gear. For a wall run, get a longer cord.

03Does this cable need a specific orientation?

Yes. One end plugs into the wall or power strip, the other into the gear. They are not interchangeable.

04Can I use this with equipment outside the US?

The wall-side plug is the US 3-prong pattern. Outside North America you would need a different cord or a plug adapter.
