General purpose power cords are lengths of small-diameter cable (12 to 18 gauge) used to connect devices and appliances to an electrical outlet. They are often used to repair or replace a damaged cord, or to create a longer cord than the one provided with a device. They have a molded plug with straight, flat blades at one end and bare wire at the other end for wiring to the device.

Power cords with start-up protection are lengths of electrical cable fitted with a safety device that prevents machines or equipment from accidentally restarting in the event of a power interruption. They are ideal for supplying power to tools with single-phase motors, such as table saws, drill presses, or other heavy equipment. They have a molded plug at one end that connects to an electrical outlet and a socket or bare wire at the other end that is attached or wired to the device.

Power cords for electronic equipment are lengths of small-diameter electrical cable (12 to 18 gauge) that transmit power from a power source, such as a power distribution unit, to electronic devices, such as projectors, printers, and computer servers. They have a molded plug at one end that connects to an electrical outlet and a socket at the other end that is attached to the device.

General purpose power cords are lengths of small-diameter cable (12 to 18 gauge) used to connect devices and appliances to an electrical outlet. They are often used to repair or replace a damaged cord, or to create a longer cord than the one provided with a device. They have a molded plug with straight, flat blades at one end and bare wire at the other end for wiring to the device. These cords include an inline On/Off switch.

Power cords for ranges and dryers are lengths of electrical cable specifically designed to connect appliances to a compatible outlet. These heavy-duty cords have a larger diameter (lower gauge) than general purpose power cords, with a molded plug at one end and bare wire at the other end for wiring to the appliance. They are commonly used to provide power to kitchen ranges and clothes dryers in residential settings, such as university dorms and multifamily apartment complexes.

Coiled power cords are lengths of electrical cable encased in a flexible, spiral jacket that extend the reach of devices connected to a power source. Also known as self-retracting cords or retractile coil cords, they stretch to allow for more length and freedom of movement and then automatically coil back up when not in use, taking up less space than other types of power cord. They have a molded plug at one end that connects to an electrical outlet and bare wire at the other end for wiring to a device. These cords are commonly used to provide power to portable tools and equipment in medical, commercial, and industrial environments.

Power cords with splitters are lengths of electrical cable that connect two or more devices to one power source. These cords branch, or split, into two or more cords to provide multiple receptacles for devices. They are often used in compact workplaces where there is limited space for electronic equipment. They have a plug at one end that connects to an electrical outlet and receptacles at each end of the split cord that devices plug into.
