            Flexible Cords

            Flexible cords connect electrical equipment to a power source. Flexible cords may have an electrical plug that connects to a power source or they may be permanently wired into a power source.

            Products include fixture wires, appliance wires, flexible cords, bulk cords, cord sets, electric vehicle cords, power supply cord and cord sets, industrial portable power cable, and plug blades.

            NEMA Members participate in a forum where manufacturers can discuss non-commercial issues, develop Standards, and advocate for government policies in the common interest of the industry.
