cordset
Plug with wire
A cordset is a length of electrical cable with connectors already attached at one or both ends, ready for use.
The term appears most often in industrial and commercial contexts—power tools, appliances, and equipment come with cordsets rather than requiring users to wire their own plugs.
The manufacturer supplies a three-prong cordset with each unit.
