AC power cord HP 373979-021, three-wire mains cable, length 3.0 m

AC power cord HP 373979-021 is a three-wire mains cable with a 3.0 m length designed to supply power to compatible HP devices and other equipment that accept a standard three-conductor AC input. The cable features standard connectors on both ends to connect a device to a wall outlet or power strip, providing an extended reach that helps place desktop PCs, monitors, printers and peripherals at a convenient distance from power sources.

Advantages

The three-wire design includes live, neutral and earth conductors to support grounded connections and safer operation with grounded equipment. A 3.0 m length increases installation flexibility in offices and home workspaces where sockets are not immediately adjacent to devices. The cable is manufactured to HP quality specifications and uses standard AC connectors for broad device compatibility, enabling straightforward replacement of worn or missing power leads.

Suitable for

• Desktop computers and workstations
• LCD and LED monitors
• Office printers and multifunction devices
• Powering peripherals and small UPS units that accept standard three-conductor cords

Key specifications

• Cable type: three-conductor mains power cord
• Length: 3.0 m
• Connector style: standard AC device connector to mains plug (grounded)
• Conductor configuration: live, neutral, earth (ground)
• Intended use: indoor power connection for compatible equipment

How to use

Verify that the device accepting the cable uses a compatible three-pin AC inlet before connecting. Insert the device-end connector securely into the equipment’s power inlet, then plug the mains-end into a properly rated wall socket or power strip. Ensure the socket is switched off or power is disconnected when routing the cable to avoid strain on connectors. Arrange the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of heat sources, liquids and moving parts. Regularly inspect the insulation and connectors for damage and replace the cable if any wear or faults are found.

Recommendations

Use the cable only with devices designed for three-conductor grounded power connections and within the electrical ratings of the device and local mains supply. For permanent or high-demand installations, confirm that the socket and any power strips or UPS units are rated appropriately and that grounding is present. If unsure about compatibility or installation in a commercial or critical environment, consult an electrician or the equipment manufacturer’s guidance.
