Do cisco switches use same power cable as a regular PC power cable?

I have a switch that is missing power cable. Unsure if I have to order specific cable for it or I can use any regular computer power cable with it. Any help please?

Depends on switch but yes you can use any  power cable with a lot of them eg. 29xx, 37xx switches etc.

As Jon also noted, it depends on the switch model. Some take c13/c14, and some newer switches take c14/c15. This is, we are assuming a small, 1RU switch and not a chassis.

Thank you all for inputs. I did CCNA back in 2012 but never found job where I could apply the knowledge. I acquired an old switch I will post the model here soon. I am trying to build home lab to refresh what I learned and learn some new skills. I will let you guys know if regular power cable worked for me or not.
