Less heat, steadier power
Thicker 14 AWG conductors carry current with less resistance than thin 16 or 18 AWG household cords. That means less heat in the wire and steadier voltage reaching computers, printers, and other sensitive equipment.

Thick-gauge power for the desk, the rack, or the printer that sits just out of reach
At a Glance
- Length: 6 ft
- Wire: 14 AWG, 3 conductors
- Rating: 15 A, 120 V
- Ends: NEMA 5-15P plug to one 5-15R outlet
- Listing: UL and cUL listed
Thin household cords run warm and are easy to overload. The Tripp Lite P024-006 is built heavier: 14 AWG copper conductors, a full 15 amp rating, and a tough SJT jacket. A standard grounded 3-prong plug on one end and a single grounded outlet on the other let it extend or upgrade a computer, monitor, printer, or UPS cord by 6 feet, so equipment can sit where it works best instead of where the wall outlet happens to be.
Key Features
- 14 AWG wire: heavier copper than typical light-duty cords for steady power to demanding gear.
- 15 amp rating: handles the full load of a standard household circuit outlet at 120 V.
- Grounded 3-prong design: NEMA 5-15P plug to 5-15R outlet keeps the ground path intact.
- SJT jacket: a PVC jacket with a VW-1 flame rating stands up to everyday desk and floor use.
- UL and cUL listed: certified for use in the United States and Canada.
- Straight connectors: the molded plug and outlet sit flat and fit snugly.
What's Included
In the box: one 6 ft Tripp Lite P024-006 extension cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug and a NEMA 5-15R outlet, in black.
Before You Buy
- It has one outlet. This is a single-outlet extension, not a power strip. Plug a surge protector into it if you need several outlets.
- It needs a grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Never remove the ground pin or use a 2-prong adapter.
- Stay within 15 amps total. Add up the amp ratings of everything on the cord. Indoor use only, and keep it out from under rugs and furniture.
Perfect For
- Computers, monitors, and docking stations
- Laser printers and copiers
- Moving a UPS or network rack closer to its outlet
- Replacing a short or worn equipment power cord
- TV stands and home theater gear
Care & Use
- Uncoil the cord fully while in use so heat does not build up.
- Unplug by gripping the plug, never by pulling the cord.
- Inspect the jacket and prongs regularly and retire the cord if either is damaged.
- Use indoors in dry locations, within its operating range of -4 to 140 F.

Why a heavier cord matters
Keeps the ground connected
Computer gear and surge protectors rely on a ground path. The grounded 3-prong plug and outlet carry that connection all the way through, so protection devices downstream can do their job.
Upgrade a short cord
When a UPS, monitor, or printer cord falls short of the outlet, this 6 ft extension adds the reach without dropping to a lighter gauge, so the equipment gets a full 15 amp path.

Cord length
How does a 14 AWG cord compare?
vs. a light-duty 16 AWG cord
Thinner cords are often rated around 13 amps. This one carries 15 amps on heavier wire.
vs. a 2-prong polarized cord
Two-prong cords have no ground pin. This cord keeps the ground path that computers and surge protectors rely on.
vs. a power strip
A strip adds outlets but often comes with a short, light cord. This extension adds reach at full gauge; pair the two when needed.

- Cable diameter
