FAQ
What devices are compatible with this C2G power cord?
This power cord is compatible with any equipment that uses standard IEC C13 power inputs, including servers, network switches, PDUs, and various rack-mounted IT devices. The IEC320C14 male connector connects to power distribution units or wall outlets, while the IEC320C13 female connector attaches to equipment power inputs.
What is the maximum power capacity of this cord?
The C2G 17559 power cord is rated for 250 volts AC at 15 amps, providing a maximum power capacity of 3,750 watts. This capacity supports most server and networking equipment requirements while maintaining safety margins for continuous operation in business IT environments.
Why is this power cord colored red?
The bright red color provides clear visual identification in dense rack configurations, making it easier to trace specific power connections during maintenance or troubleshooting. This color coding helps reduce installation errors and simplifies cable management in complex data center environments.
How does the 14AWG gauge affect performance?
The 14AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification indicates thicker conductors that reduce electrical resistance and minimize voltage drop over the cord's 8-foot length. This ensures more stable power delivery to connected equipment compared to thinner gauge cords, which is particularly important for sensitive electronic devices in server racks.
What warranty coverage does this power cord include?
This C2G power cord comes with a 3-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, providing assurance of product quality and reliability for business IT deployments.
Is this power cord suitable for international use?
While the IEC connectors are internationally standardized, the 250V AC rating makes this cord suitable for regions with 220-240V electrical systems. Users should verify local voltage requirements and ensure proper grounding compliance before deployment in specific geographical locations.
