Deployment / Use Cases
The AddOn C14 to C15 power cord serves specific roles in business IT infrastructure. Its primary application is connecting power distribution units (PDUs) or UPS systems to servers and networking equipment that require C15 inlet connections. The high-temperature rating makes it suitable for rack-mounted equipment where heat buildup is common, ensuring safe operation in confined spaces.
This cord is particularly valuable in data centers, server rooms, and network closets where reliable power connections are non-negotiable. The 2-foot length is ideal for connecting adjacent rack units or equipment within the same enclosure, reducing cable clutter while maintaining proper strain relief. IT managers deploy these cords for critical infrastructure where both electrical performance and physical security matter.
Server Room Applications
Connect PDUs to servers with C15 inlets in rack environments where heat management and secure connections are priorities.
UPS System Connections
Link UPS units to connected equipment using the appropriate connector types for high-temperature scenarios.
Physical Profile
This power cord features a compact 2-foot (0.61 meter) length that provides just enough reach for adjacent equipment connections without excess cable management challenges. The black PVC SJT jacket offers a professional appearance that blends with most IT equipment while providing durability against abrasion and crushing. At approximately 1.60 ounces (45.36 grams), the cord is lightweight yet substantial enough for reliable performance.

FAQ
What devices typically use C14 to C15 power cords?
C14 to C15 power cords are commonly used to connect power distribution units (PDUs) or UPS systems to servers, networking equipment, and other devices with C15 inlets. The C15 connector is designed for higher temperature applications, making this cord suitable for equipment that generates significant heat, such as rack-mounted servers in data centers or network closets.
What does the 14 AWG gauge mean for this power cord?
The 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates the thickness of the copper conductors inside the cord. Thicker 14 AWG wires have lower electrical resistance than thinner gauges, which minimizes voltage drop over distance and reduces heat generation under load. This gauge is appropriate for the 15-amp rating, ensuring safe current carrying capacity for connected equipment.
How does the P-Lock feature work on this cord?
P-Lock is a mechanical locking mechanism that secures the connector to the equipment inlet. When engaged, it prevents accidental disconnection due to vibration, movement, or cable tension. This feature is particularly valuable in mission-critical environments where uninterrupted power is essential, as it adds physical security beyond the standard friction fit of non-locking connectors.
What is the advantage of the high-temperature rating?
The high-temperature rating means the cord's insulation and connectors can withstand elevated temperatures without degrading. This is crucial when used with equipment that generates heat, such as servers or UPS units in confined rack spaces. The rating ensures the cord maintains its electrical and mechanical properties in warm environments, reducing fire risks and connection failures.
Is this power cord suitable for continuous 15-amp loads?
Yes, this AddOn power cord is rated for 15 amps at 250 volts continuous operation. The 14 AWG conductors, high-temperature insulation, and robust connectors are designed to handle this load without overheating or performance degradation. It meets safety standards for powering equipment that draws up to 15 amps continuously in business IT applications.
What does the PVC SJT jacket material provide?
The PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) SJT (Service Junior Thermoplastic) jacket offers a balance of durability and flexibility. PVC provides good abrasion resistance and protection against minor crushing, while the SJT designation indicates a junior hard-service cord suitable for stationary or occasional movement applications. This combination ensures the cord maintains integrity in typical IT environments while remaining manageable for installation.
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.
