Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cable incorporates industry-standard IEC 60320 connectors with a three-pin design that includes grounding for safety. The C13 female connector interfaces with computer power supplies, while the C14 male connector connects to power distribution units, UPS systems, or wall outlets. The locking mechanism on both connectors prevents accidental disconnection through a secure twist-and-lock design.
The 14 AWG wire gauge provides optimal current carrying capacity with minimal voltage drop over the 2-foot length. This gauge rating ensures the cable can safely handle the 15-amp maximum current without overheating or performance degradation. The cable insulation is rated for both 120V and 230V applications, making it suitable for North American and international power standards.

- Reduces downtime risk
Robust Electrical Performance
With 14 AWG conductors rated for 15 amps, this cable provides sufficient current capacity for most computer equipment while maintaining safety margins. The dual voltage rating supports both standard North American 120V systems and 230V international configurations.
- 15A current capacity
- Dual voltage compatibility
- Minimal voltage drop
Deployment / Use Cases
This locking power cable serves multiple deployment scenarios where secure, reliable power connections are essential. In data center environments, it connects servers, network switches, and storage arrays to power distribution units or UPS systems while preventing accidental disconnection during maintenance or equipment moves.
For office computing setups, the cable extends power sources to workstations or peripherals when wall outlets are inconveniently located. The locking feature ensures connections remain secure even when cables are routed under desks or through cable management systems. The blue color aids in visual identification and cable organization in multi-device installations.
Data Center Applications
Connect servers and networking equipment to PDU outlets in rack-mounted configurations where vibration or accidental tugs could disrupt standard connectors.
Office and Workspace Use
Extend power from wall outlets to computers and monitors while maintaining secure connections in environments with frequent movement or cable adjustments.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with this AddOn power cable?
This cable is designed for computer equipment that uses standard IEC C13 power inlets, including desktop computers, servers, monitors, and network switches. The C14 male end connects to power distribution units, UPS systems, or wall outlets with corresponding receptacles. The locking feature makes it particularly suitable for equipment in environments where secure connections are important.
What is the advantage of locking connectors on a power cable?
Locking connectors prevent accidental disconnection caused by vibration, movement, or accidental tugs on the cable. This is especially valuable in data centers, server rooms, and production environments where maintaining continuous power is critical. The locking mechanism requires intentional action to disconnect, reducing the risk of downtime from loose connections.
What voltage ranges does this power cable support?
This AddOn cable is rated for both 120V AC and 230V AC applications, making it suitable for North American standard voltage as well as international power systems. The dual rating allows the same cable to be used in different geographical locations without requiring separate inventory for different voltage standards.
How does the 14 AWG wire gauge affect performance?
The 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification indicates the thickness of the copper conductors inside the cable. Thicker 14 AWG wires can safely carry more current with less resistance than thinner gauges. This allows the cable to handle up to 15 amps without overheating and minimizes voltage drop over the 2-foot length, ensuring efficient power delivery to connected equipment.
What is the purpose of the three-pin design?
The three-pin design includes line, neutral, and ground connections. The ground pin provides an important safety feature by directing any fault current safely to ground rather than through equipment or users. This grounding capability is essential for protecting sensitive electronic equipment and ensuring compliance with electrical safety standards in commercial and data center environments.
Where is this 2-foot power cable most useful?
The 2-foot length is ideal for connecting equipment in close proximity, such as within server racks where devices are mounted adjacent to power sources. It provides sufficient reach for proper cable routing without creating excess slack that requires management. This compact length works well for desktop setups, rack-mounted equipment, and any application where minimal cable length meets the distance requirement between power source and device.
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 120 V AC,230 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
