What are NEMA Power Cables?

NEMA power cables are power plugs and receptacles constructed use with for AC mains electricity in North America. These cables are built to standards set by the US National Electrical Manufacturer's Association. Founded in 1926, NEMA is responsible for establishing standards for electrical products in the US. 

The NEMA plugs you're probably most familiar with feature NEMA 1-15P and NEMA 5-15P connectors, which are typically used on domestic electrical equipment in the United States. These power cords can be either fixed or detachable, and they connect an appliance to a power receptacle. The cables come in several different plug configurations used to power the most commonly installed wall outlets and devices such as personal computers and home electronics across a variety of voltage measurements.
