Interpower
Interpower® offers [eight different angles of the NEMA 5-15 cord](. When limited space between equipment and the power connection make the direction of the cord critical, angled cords minimize the space between connectors reducing the strain on both the cord and plug. Angled cords provide critical space for all industries with electrical designs pushing the boundaries of cord bend radius — especially in power strips where strain reliefs and cable exits interfere with neighboring outlets.
