What is a UL Certified Power Cord?
UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is the most authoritative safety certification body in the United States. A UL-certified power cord has passed rigorous fire, electric shock and heat resistance testing, making it safe for the North American market.
Key Buying Considerations
- Look for the UL mark and file number (starting with E)
- Lower AWG gauge means thicker wire and higher current capacity
- Plug type must match your equipment: NEMA 5-15P is the most common
- Jacket material: PVC for general use, rubber for cold and oil-resistant applications
