At one end of a power cord, that is often used in personal computers, there is a three-pin shroud power connector which has a standard NEMA 5-15P plug; on the other end there is an IEC-320-C13 connector. The term “shroud” in this context refers to the plastic or rubber cap that covers and protects the base of C13 connectors from accidental touching with live parts. Typically found in desktops, monitors and peripherals.
