Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cable adheres to the IEC 60320 standard for connectors, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of IT and power distribution equipment. The C19 female connector is typically used on the output side of PDUs or UPS units, while the C20 male connector interfaces with devices requiring high-power input. The 12AWG wire gauge provides low resistance, supporting the full 10-amp current rating without excessive heat buildup, which is essential for maintaining electrical safety and equipment longevity.
The cable's construction includes reinforced insulation and strain relief at the connectors to withstand frequent handling and bending. It is rated for use in temperatures commonly found in data centers and server rooms, and its materials comply with RoHS and WEEE directives, reflecting environmental responsibility. The locking feature uses a standard twist-and-lock design that secures the connection with a simple turn, reducing the risk of power interruptions due to vibration or accidental pulls.
Key Product Advantages
This cable offers several advantages for IT professionals and data center managers. Its locking connectors provide a secure physical connection that prevents accidental dislodging, which is crucial in environments where equipment stability directly impacts operational reliability. The 12AWG gauge ensures efficient power transmission with minimal energy loss, supporting the performance of high-power devices without compromising safety or efficiency.
Additionally, the dual voltage rating (120V and 230V AC) allows for flexible deployment across different power systems, reducing the need for multiple cable types. The blue color enhances visibility and organization in cable management systems, while the 1-year limited warranty and compliance with environmental standards like RoHS and WEEE offer peace of mind regarding product quality and sustainability.
