Unshielded power cords run electric fields right across your desk. eShield power cords replace them with a shielded cord in powder white, matched to the inlet on your device.
Choose C13 in 18 gauge for monitors and office equipment, C13 in 16 gauge for devices with motors, C5 in 18 gauge, or a black C7 in 20 gauge for laptop chargers and consoles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which end do I need, C13, C5 or C7?
Look at the inlet on your device. C13 is the standard computer and monitor style, C5 is the three-lobed inlet found on some laptop adapters, and C7 is the two-slot figure-eight inlet on many chargers and consoles.
Should I choose 16 gauge or 18 gauge for a C13 cord?
Use 18 gauge for computer monitors and miscellaneous office equipment. Use 16 gauge for higher-amperage devices that run motors.
What does a shielded power cord do?
The shield around the conductors drains the cord's electric field to ground, so the cord does not radiate it into the room the way an unshielded cord does.
Does it work in an outlet without a ground?
No. The shielding drains through the ground pin of the plug, so an ungrounded outlet gives it nowhere to send the field. A plug-in outlet tester from any hardware store shows whether an outlet is wired correctly.
