A power cord is the cable that connects your device to a wall outlet to deliver AC power. On this page, you’ll find replacement AC cords for electronics, indoor and outdoor extension cords, and power strips with surge protection and USB charging. Power cords differ by:

• Plug type: 2‑prong or 3‑prong grounded.
• Device connector: Common shapes include IEC C13 and figure‑8 (C7).
• Length and gauge: Options from short leads to 50 ft; thicker wire (lower AWG) supports higher loads.

For safety, match the cord’s voltage and amp rating (e.g., 125V, 13A) to your device and avoid overloading outlets.

You can shop power cords on Walmart.com or in your local store. To find a good match:

• Filter online: Choose length, outlet count, USB‑A/USB‑C ports, indoor/outdoor rating, and wire gauge.
• Check compatibility: Match the device connector (3‑prong C13, figure‑8, or polarized 2‑prong) and confirm the label specs (voltage/amps).
• Pickup or delivery: Look for in‑store availability, curbside pickup, or shipping options at checkout.
• Read details: Product pages list joule ratings for surge protectors and maximum load (e.g., 1875W or 13A).

If you’re unsure, a clear photo of your device’s power inlet and plug can help you compare shapes and choose confidently.

There are a few common types you’ll see here:

• 3‑prong grounded AC cords: Often used with desktops, monitors, and printers; typically a household plug to an IEC C13 device end.
• 2‑prong cords: Figure‑8 (C7) and polarized 2‑slot styles commonly fit TVs, game consoles, and small electronics.
• Extension cords and power strips: Indoor or outdoor, sometimes with flat plugs, multiple outlets, and USB charging.
• Surge protectors: Similar to power strips but with a joule rating to help protect electronics from power spikes.

Choosing between them depends on your device connector, where you’ll use the cord, and the power requirements listed on your equipment.

The standard cord many computers and monitors use is commonly referred to as NEMA 5‑15P to IEC 60320 C13 (often called a 3‑prong computer power cord). It has a typical household plug on one end and a rectangular C13 connector on the other.

• How to verify: Check the inlet on your device; if it’s labeled C14 and shaped to accept a C13, this style may fit.
• When it’s not right: Devices that use figure‑8 or polarized 2‑prong inlets need a different cord.

Comparing the connector shape and the amperage rating on your device can help you pick the correct cord more confidently.

Start with how and where you’ll use it:

• Indoor vs. outdoor: Outdoor cords are built for weather exposure; indoor cords are for dry, indoor spaces.
• Length and gauge (AWG): Use the shortest length that’s practical. For higher loads, choose thicker wire (lower AWG, such as 14 AWG) rather than thinner (like 16 AWG).
• Capacity: Check the cord’s max amps/watts (e.g., 13A, 1875W) against your device.
• Features: Flat plugs for tight spaces, multiple outlets, or USB ports for charging.
• Protection: For sensitive electronics, a surge protector with a listed joule rating can offer added protection compared to a basic extension cord.

Avoid daisy‑chaining cords and don’t exceed the ratings printed on the cord or strip.
