The specifications indicate the case supports up to 15A and 125V. Connecting a higher-rated component is possible but should be done cautiously.

Do you have 240v power?

I reside in the U.S, so I assume it's 120V.
Also, the internal wire is rated for 105°C and the outside for 60°C.

It should work well, offering better performance than 16AWG or 18AWG options.
Only C14 connectors designed for North America support 15A.
Elsewhere, they typically use C20 or C22 connectors for 16A.

Thank you, but I don't believe it will matter since the 10A, 250V, 18AWG is the constraint.
