iMac 2021 M1 PowerCable Type/Spec

The power cable that runs from the power adaptor to the electrical outlet uses a Mickey-type connector. Is it standard? IEC 60320 C5? I need a new one since my new one is a potential firehazard.

iMac 24″, macOS 14.5

Yes it is the same C5 cord that is used by other devices and appliances.

If you want to pay a little more for a direct replacement.
