2 Prong Non-Polarized 5ft Power Cord C7 Figure 8 AC Power Cable

In this review the reviewer evaluates the BolAAzuL 2-prong non-polarized 5ft power cord and finds it well suited for anyone needing a straightforward, reliable replacement or spare for common AV and gaming gear. The bottom line: it is a no-frills 5ft figure 8 power cable that delivers a thicker 18AWG conductor and a flexible TPE jacket, which together make it sturdier and less prone to signal interference or physical wear than many thin replacement cords.

Key Features

• NEMA 1-15P to IEC-320-C7: A standard non-polarized figure 8 connection that fits most TVs, consoles and small audio/video devices for easy swapping.
• 18AWG heavy-duty cable: Thicker copper conductors handle higher currents more safely than thinner wires, reducing overheating risk under normal loads.
• Pure copper core conductors: Uses 2X0.75mm2 pure copper rather than cheaper CCA or CCS alternatives, improving conductivity and reliability.
• TPE jacket: The environmentally friendly TPE outer sheath is flexible, abrasion resistant and less likely to harden or crack over time compared with PVC jackets.
• Non-polarized plug: Either orientation inserts into the wall outlet, so plugging is quicker and there is less chance of incorrect insertion.
• 5ft length: At approximately 5ft/1.5m the cord gives reasonable reach for TVs, consoles and monitors without excessive slack or clutter.

Who It's For

This cable is ideal for people who need a dependable replacement or spare for devices that use the IEC C7 figure 8 inlet: PlayStation consoles, many HDTVs, monitors, speakers and small AV equipment. It suits users who prefer a slightly heavier gauge cable for better durability and safer current handling.

Those who need longer runs, a polarized connection, higher than 7A/125V ratings, or specialty grounded plugs should look elsewhere. This cable is not a substitute for three-prong grounded power cords or heavy-duty appliance cords that require different connectors or ratings.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdier 18AWG construction provides improved durability and current handling compared with thinner replacement cords.
• Pure copper conductors and TPE jacket reduce signal loss risk and stand up better to bending and heat over time.
• Non-polarized figure 8 design makes plugging simple and compatible with many game consoles, TVs and audio devices.

Cons

• Limited to 7A/125V and two-prong non-polarized use, so it cannot replace grounded three-prong power cords or serve higher-current appliances.
