Detachable-Cord AC to DC Adapters
Couple these adapters with a cord that matches your outlet and length requirements to run DC-powered electronics. Instead of plugging directly into an outlet, the body of these adapters sits on the floor or other surface, so it remains out of the way and won’t block multiple outlets. These adapters use switching regulation—they produce the stated voltage even when your outlet’s power or the power drawn by your device fluctuates. Most have an LPS low-voltage output, so if something fails inside these adapters, they’ll limit the risk of electrical shocks. They meet U.S., Canadian, and European safety standards. Many also meet U.S. and European standards for energy efficiency.
When choosing an adapter, match the output voltage and polarity of your device. Look for the polarity illustration on your device or the adapter you're replacing. The current you choose should, at a minimum, match your device. You can choose a higher current, but it will not improve performance.
Adapters with an IEC C8 input require power cords with a C7 socket. With Class II shock protection, they have two levels of insulation that prevent electrical shocks.
Adapters with an IEC C14 input require power cords with a C13 socket. They have Class I shock protection and prevent electrical shocks with a combination of insulation and a protective ground.

AC to DC Adapter Cords
Plug these adapter cords into a standard outlet and they change AC voltage to DC voltage. These cords use switching regulation, so they produce the stated voltage even when your outlet’s power or the power drawn by your device fluctuates. It also means they won’t get too hot. They have an LPS low-voltage output and Class II shock protection, so if something fails inside these cords, they’ll limit the risk of electrical shocks. These cords meet U.S. and Canadian safety standards as well as U.S. DOE (Department of Energy) Level VI standards for energy efficiency.
When choosing an adapter, match the output voltage and polarity of your device. Look for the polarity illustration on your device or the adapter you're replacing. The current you choose should, at a minimum, match your device. You can choose a higher current, but it will not improve performance.

International AC to DC Adapter Cords
Swap the plug to match the outlet of the region you’re in instead of using separate cords for each country. These adapter cords convert AC voltage to power DC electronics. Designed with switching regulation, they maintain consistent voltage during power fluctuations and don’t get too hot. They meet U.S., Canadian, European, Australian, New Zealand, and Chinese safety standards.
A limited power source (LPS) low-voltage output decreases the risk of electric shock if something fails inside these cords. Class II shock protection means they have two levels of insulation. These cords meet U.S. DOE (Department of Energy) Level VI standards for energy efficiency when they're in-use, as well as when they're plugged in but not in use.
Choose an adapter cord with an output voltage that matches the voltage of your device. The polarity of the adapter cord and your device must also be the same. Look for the polarity illustration on your device or the adapter cord you’re replacing and pick a cord to match.

USB Chargers
Power up mobile devices and other electronics.
Unlike many chargers in the market, these are high quality and reliable. All have passed strict U.S., Canadian, or European Union safety standards.
USB-C chargers are quickly becoming the new standard, often seen on new phones and tablets. Some are USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 certified, so they charge your devices on average 3-4 times faster than standard chargers because they send more power over your cable. 18W chargers will power phones and tablets sold after 2016. Choose chargers with an output greater than 27W to charge large laptops and other high-power devices.
USB-A chargers have the traditional USB connection.
Chargers cannot be sold to the listed areas due to energy efficiency regulations.
