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, or power supply cords, are portable lengths of electrical cable used to connect devices and appliances to a power source. They are typically used on equipment that doesn't come with a power cord, such as dryers, ranges, and computer monitors. 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. Select a power cord to match the amperage rating of the device and plug configuration of the outlet.
