Hosa Technology Debuts PWL-400 Series Power Extension Cords

Hosa Technology's PWL-400 Series power extension cords

Hosa Technology, a manufacturer of analog and digital connectivity solutions for the modern musician and audio/video professional, announces the introduction of the PWL-400 Series power extension cords. Equipped with IEC C14 to IEC C13 connectors, the PWL-400 is the ideal accessory for daisy-chaining multiple units off a single power receptacle or for extending the reach of a power cord. The company says the new Hosa PWL-400 is the perfect complement to lighting effects, guitar amplifiers, audio interfaces, wireless audio receivers, and similar equipment.

Many types of equipment -- such as lighting effects units used by DJ's and houses of worship -- are outfitted with both IEC in and out jacks for the purpose of daisy-chaining these devices off a single power outlet. Long length cables on stage frequently create an unsightly mess, but the PWL-400 extension cord eliminates this situation. This cable is designed to connect an electrical device equipped with a C13 outlet to one with a C14 inlet. With extension cord lengths as short as 1.5', a stack of lighting effects, for example, can be daisy-chained together, with all cables safely out of view.

Most devices commonly used in the industry -- from lighting to audio to data -- require an IEC C13 power connector. When the cable supplied by the equipment manufacturer is simply too short to reach the wall outlet, the new Hosa PWL-400 extension cord provides the valuable extra length necessary to reach it -- without having to sacrifice the equipment's preferred placement. A guitarist, for example, may find the ideal placement for his amplifier to be short of reaching the wall receptacle. By connecting the Hosa PWL-400 into the IEC connector on the back of the amplifier, the power cord supplied with the amplifier can now be connected into the PWL-400 and from there, into the wall.

Hosa's new PWL-400 Series power extension cords utilize 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors for increased current flow -- ensuring optimum performance for the connected equipment. Additionally, these power extension cords incorporate a black PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) jacket for durability and low on-stage visibility.

Jose Gonzalez, Hosa Technology's product manager, commented on the new PWL-400 Power Extension Cord. "The new PWL-400 is one of those items no DJ, electronic musician, audio, or lighting professional should be without. With the cord's ability to be used both for daisy-chaining multiple devices together or for extending the reach of an individual unit, the new PWL-400 power extension cords are ideal for a wide range of professional stage applications. For those professionals working in the music, sound, and lighting segments of our industry, the PWL-400 is a 'must have' accessory item."
