NEMA 5-15 Plug

NEMA 5-15 Socket

Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances. They have a 90° elbow plug that fits flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight. The industry designation is SPT, so they have a flat cord shape.

USB Cords

Connect devices such as computers, printers, and mobile devices. The higher the USB standard, the faster cords can transmit data. These cords are backward compatible, so they work with cords and connectors that meet the same or lower USB standard.

Use power cords to charge devices. Data cords move data between devices.

90° elbow cords fit flush against equipment so they fit in tight spaces.

Double-shielded cords block signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Shielded Ethernet Cords

The shielding on these cords blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. They send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. For faster data transmission speeds, choose a cord with a higher industry designation category. They’re backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or a lower category.

Cords with braid and foil shielding have better protection than cords with only foil shielding, which is especially important for higher transmission speeds or longer lengths of cord. However, the added shielding increases cord diameter and reduces flexibility.

90° elbow plugs fit flush against equipment, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.

Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. The shielding blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. They send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. For faster data transmission speeds, choose a cord with a higher industry designation category. They’re backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or a lower category. All stand up to some abrasion.

Cords with polyurethane rubber insulation resist abrasion better and bend further than cords with PVC plastic insulation. You can use them indoors or outdoors, though you shouldn’t use them in harsh settings. They’re halogen free.

D-Sub Cords

Connect computers, monitors, printers, and other devices with DB connections.

RS-232 cords transmit data between a modem and another device, such as a computer.

Parallel and serial printer cords connect a computer to a printer. Parallel cords transmit data faster than serial printer cords.

Shielded cords have foil to prevent signal interference from nearby devices. Use them in settings with low to moderate signal interference, such as labs, storage facilities, and offices.

Double-shielded cords have braid and foil for better protection against signal interference than shielded cords. However, the extra shielding adds diameter and reduces flexibility. They’re used in steel mills, machine tool plants, and other heavy processing facilities.

Cords with reversible mounting hardware have removable thumb screws to enable a wider range of mounting options than other cords. Mount them to ports and adapters, as well as directly into panels.

DMX Cords

5-Pin Plug x Socket

Commonly used for movie, stage, and interior building lighting, these cords connect to equipment with five-pin XLR connections. The plug and socket lock onto their mate, so they won’t accidentally unplug. With a layer of foil shielding and a braided pair of wires, these cords block signal interference from nearby devices. To protect the inner wires from damage, they have a polyurethane jacket.
