Extension Cords

The insulation on these cords resists water, so they can be used outdoors.

Light Duty Extension Cords

Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.

Multi-Outlet Extension Cords

Power multiple devices with one extension cord.

Light Duty Multi-Outlet Extension Cords

Designed for indoor use, these cords are often used to power appliances.

GFCI Extension Cords

Keep personnel safe from electric shock with these cords.

Sure-Grip Extension Cords

Also known as hospital-grade cords, these have extra-tight connections to prevent them from detaching. The connectors are marked with a green dot.

GFCI Turn-Lock Extension Cords

Keep personnel safe from electric shock with these cords.

Vehicle Extension Cords

Plug these cords into a vehicle outlet to power a device from the vehicle's battery.

Power Cords

Light Duty Power Cords

Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.

Coiled Power Cords

These self-coiling cords stretch to full length and then return to their retracted length for tangle-free storage.

Electronic Equipment Power Cords

Use these cords with computers, lab equipment, and office machines that have IEC connections.

International Electronic Equipment Power Cords

All cords have a country-specific plug on one end and an IEC socket on the other end.

Locking Electronic Equipment Power Cords

Create a vibration-resistant connection—the socket on these cords locks onto any male receptacle and will not detach until manually unlocked.

Electronic Equipment Cord Splitters

Power multiple devices from one power source.

Equipment-Cooling Fan Power Cords

Plug these cords into fans that have quick-disconnect terminals.

Micro M12 Cords

The threaded ends on these cords seal out contaminants and resist coming loose from vibration in tough industrial environments and automated systems while sending power and signal to devices with M12 connections.

Harsh Environment Micro M12 Cords

TPE insulation protects these cords from some of the toughest industrial conditions, including abrasion, coolants, chemicals, UV rays, and weld slag. Use them in areas with welding, machining, and fluctuating temperatures to send signal and power to M12 proximity switches, valves, and other devices.

Mini Cords

With a higher maximum current than nano M8 and micro M12 cords, these mini cords are often used with automated systems, motors, and pumps.

Harsh Environment Mini Cords

Often used for automated systems, motors, and pumps in tough industrial areas such as near welding and metal machining, these cords carry higher current than M5, M8, and M12 cords.

Barrel-Style DC Power Cords

Carry DC power in or out of electronic devices with these cords. All have industry standard barrel-style connections, letting you power electronics from power supplies.

Compact Cords

Compatible with Molex connectors, these cords are sized to fit in tight spaces. They're often used in the interior of machines.

Deutsch-Style Power Cords

Use these cords in vehicles and other agricultural and construction equipment.

Outlet Strips

Often used in offices and workstations, these outlet strips power multiple devices from a single wall outlet.

Wall-Mount Outlet Strips

Create a permanent outlet system without opening walls. These outlet strips mount to a wall with clips and hardwire to an existing electrical system.

Data, Audio, and Video Cords

DisplayPort Cords

Often used to connect multiple monitors to a single computer, these cords send video and audio to a display device.

Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. They have an RJ45 plug on each end.

Ethernet Cords with M12 Connectors

The M12 threaded connectors on these cords are more vibration resistant than RJ45 connectors.

USB Cords

Connect devices such as computers, printers, and mobile devices.

Long-Life USB Cords

With Kevlar-reinforced nylon armor and a high-strength aluminum connector, these USB cords stand up to frequent use and bending better than standard USB cords.

Continuous-Flex USB Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission.

Washdown USB Cords

Rated IP67, these cords withstand washdowns and temporary submersion. Connect them to a USB device inside an enclosure.

High-Temperature Continuous-Flex USB Cords

Often used in robotics, packaging, conveyors, and other applications with constant movement and high temperatures, these silicone rubber cords bend and flex at temperatures up to 325° F.

Crush-Resistant USB Cords

The insulation serves as a tough armor that protects these cords in high-traffic areas.

Locking USB Cords

Pinch the sides on the plugs of these cords to insert them; they lock into a socket to prevent the cord from detaching.

D-Sub Cords

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

Video Monitor Cords

Transmit video to a single monitor.

HDMI Video Cords

Send high-definition signals to monitors, TVs, and projectors.

Coaxial Cords

Transmit audio, video, and data signals over long distances with minimal signal loss.

Continuous-Flex Coaxial Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission.

Audio Equipment Cords

Connect audio to a single speaker, or extend the distance between stereo audio devices.

Fiber-Optic Cords

Connect computers, servers, and switches in a fiber-optic network.

Barrel-Style DC Connectors

Made with industry standard barrel-style ends, these connectors carry DC power between electronic devices and power supplies.

Armored Building Cable with Fittings

Also known as fixture whips, this cable has locknuts and fittings attached to the protective metal armor to secure it to a knockout. It's often used to connect light fixtures.
