Detail 01
14 AWG
Thicker conductor than the common 18 AWG cord. Less voltage drop under load, so high-draw amps stay stable.
Product detailSKU #1316478168801
HosaPWC408 14 AWG Grounded Power Cord, IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P 8 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 8 ft grounded power cord in 14 AWG — thicker wire than the cable most gear ships with. For amps and rack power that pull real current.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Power amps and rack conditioners that draw heavy current
- Reaching a wall outlet from a rack or amp on stage
- Replacing a thin stock cord on a tube amp head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small pedals or interfaces that draw almost nothing — overkill
- Gear with a 2-prong or figure-8 inlet
- Tight racks where a thick 8 ft cord is hard to dress and coil
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 02
IEC C13 connector
The standard 3-pin socket on amps, mixers, conditioners and computers. Most rack gear takes this.
Detail 03
NEMA 5-15P plug
The standard US 3-prong wall plug. Fits any grounded North American outlet or power strip.
Detail 04
8 ft length
Reaches a wall outlet from most stage positions without an extension. Coils down for rack use.
Detail 05
Grounded 3-conductor
Keeps the safety ground intact, which also keeps ground-related hum out of audio rigs.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your gear has a removable 3-pin C14 inlet, not a captive cord
- 02Thicker gauge means a stiffer cable — allow slack behind a rack
- 03Cord only; no power strip, conditioner or adapter included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between 14 AWG and a normal power cord?
14 AWG uses thicker copper. It loses less voltage when gear draws hard, which matters for power amps. Lighter gear works fine either way.
02Will this fit my power conditioner?
If the conditioner has a standard 3-pin IEC inlet, yes. That is the usual fitting on rack power gear.
03Is 8 feet enough for stage use?
Usually. Eight feet reaches from a typical amp or rack position to a nearby outlet or floor power strip.
04Can I plug this into a two-prong outlet?
No. The plug has a ground pin and needs a grounded 3-slot outlet. Defeating the ground on audio gear invites hum and is unsafe.
