FAQ
What equipment is compatible with this AddOn power cord?
This power cord connects any equipment with a standard IEC C13 power inlet to power sources with C14 outlets. It's commonly used with servers, network switches, storage arrays, UPS systems, PDUs, and various desktop computers and monitors from major manufacturers. The standardized C14 male to C13 female configuration ensures broad compatibility across business IT infrastructure.
What is the maximum power capacity of this 18 AWG power cord?
The AddOn ADD-C142C13C18G10FRD power cord is rated for 250 volts at 10 amps, providing up to 2,500 watts of power capacity. The 18 AWG wiring maintains this rating across the full 10-foot length without significant voltage drop. This capacity supports most rack-mounted servers, networking equipment, and desktop systems with moderate power requirements.
Why is the power cord jacket red, and what material is used?
The bright red color provides visual identification in complex cable management scenarios, helping technicians distinguish power cords from data cables during installation and maintenance. The jacket uses Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) combined with Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT), offering durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion, oils, and moisture in typical IT environments.
How does the 10-foot length benefit different installation scenarios?
The 10-foot (3.05-meter) length accommodates various deployment needs. In rack installations, it provides sufficient reach between equipment and power distribution units, especially in full-height cabinets. For desktop setups, it allows flexible equipment placement relative to power outlets. This length balances installation flexibility with manageable cable organization in both data center and office environments.
What are the key differences between SJT and other cable jacket types?
Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT) jackets offer specific advantages for power cords. Compared to basic PVC, SJT provides enhanced flexibility, better resistance to oils and chemicals, and improved performance across temperature variations. This makes SJT particularly suitable for IT environments where cables may be frequently moved, exposed to various conditions, or installed in confined spaces requiring flexible routing.
Is this power cord suitable for international deployments or specific voltage requirements?
This power cord carries a 250V rating, making it compatible with electrical systems in many regions, including North America (where 120V systems operate within this rating) and other areas with 220-240V systems. However, users must verify local electrical codes and equipment requirements. The cord is manufactured in China and is not TAA compliant, which may affect certain government or regulated procurement scenarios.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 250 V, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
