FAQ
What devices are compatible with this C14 to C13 power cord?
This cord is compatible with any equipment that uses a C13 female power input, such as desktop computers, monitors, printers, and many UPS units. The C14 male end plugs into standard power outlets, power strips, or UPS outputs, making it versatile for connecting IT gear in office or data center environments.
What are the voltage and current ratings of this power cord?
The cord is rated for 250 volts and 10 amps, which is standard for many commercial IT devices. These ratings ensure safe power transmission without risk of overload, suitable for powering typical office equipment like computers and peripherals within its electrical limits.
How long is the cord, and why is a 1-foot length useful?
The cord is 1 foot long, approximately 0.30 meters. This short length is ideal for reducing cable clutter in tight spaces, such as behind desks or in server racks, where excess cable can cause tangles or obstruction. It provides just enough reach for direct connections between nearby power sources and devices.
What material is used for the cord jacket, and how durable is it?
The jacket is made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT), which offers flexibility and resistance to abrasion. This construction ensures the cord withstands daily handling in commercial settings, maintaining insulation and performance over time without cracking or wear.
Is this power cord TAA compliant?
No, this cord is not TAA compliant. It is designed for general commercial use where specific government procurement regulations like the Trade Agreements Act do not apply. For environments requiring TAA compliance, alternative certified products should be considered.
What is the wire gauge, and why does it matter?
The wire gauge is 18 AWG, which refers to the thickness of the electrical conductors. An 18 AWG gauge is suitable for the cord's 10A rating, providing efficient current flow while keeping the cord flexible for easy routing. Thicker gauges handle higher currents, but 18 AWG is optimal for this application's power needs.
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.
