FAQ
What devices typically use C14 to C15 power cords?
C14 to C15 power cords are commonly used with servers, networking equipment, power distribution units, and other IT devices that require higher temperature tolerance. The C15 connector is designed for equipment that operates at elevated temperatures, making this cable suitable for data center environments, server racks, and high-performance computing applications where heat management is important.
What is the advantage of the high-temperature rating on this power cord?
The high-temperature rating allows this power cord to safely operate in environments with elevated ambient temperatures or when connected to equipment that generates significant heat. This provides an additional safety margin compared to standard power cords, reducing the risk of insulation degradation or connector failure in warm conditions commonly found in server rooms, data centers, and enclosed equipment cabinets.
How does the 14 AWG gauge affect the cable's performance?
The 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification indicates the thickness of the conductors inside the cable. Thicker 14 AWG wires have lower electrical resistance than thinner gauges, which minimizes voltage drop over the cable's length and allows for more efficient power transmission. This is particularly important for maintaining stable voltage to connected equipment, especially when powering devices that draw close to the cable's 15-amp maximum rating.
What is the difference between C14 and C15 connectors?
C14 and C15 connectors are similar in appearance but have different temperature ratings. C14 connectors are rated for 70°C maximum, while C15 connectors are rated for 120°C maximum. The C15 connector has a small notch or groove that accommodates higher temperatures, making it suitable for equipment that operates hotter. This AddOn cable has a C14 male end that plugs into power sources and a C15 female end that connects to equipment requiring the higher temperature rating.
Is this power cord compatible with standard office equipment?
Yes, this power cord is compatible with any equipment that accepts C15 inlet connectors, regardless of whether it requires the full high-temperature capability. The industry-standard design ensures compatibility with a wide range of OEM equipment from various manufacturers. However, it's always recommended to verify that your specific device has a C15 power inlet before purchasing, as some equipment may use different connector types.
What does the SJT jacket material provide?
SJT stands for Service Junior Thermoplastic, a type of cable jacket material that offers excellent flexibility, durability, and resistance to abrasion, oils, and moisture. When combined with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) as in this cable, it creates a robust protective layer that can withstand the physical demands of IT environments while maintaining flexibility for easy routing and installation. The green color provides visual identification in complex cable management systems.
How long is the power cord in metric measurements?
The power cord measures 1.80 meters in length, which is equivalent to 5.9 feet. This length provides sufficient reach for most installation scenarios, allowing connection between power sources and equipment while maintaining tidy cable management. The moderate length helps prevent excessive cable slack that can create clutter while still offering flexibility in equipment placement within racks or on desktops.
What does TAA compliance mean and is this cable compliant?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance refers to whether a product meets U.S. government procurement requirements regarding country of origin for certain federal contracts. This AddOn power cord is manufactured in China and is marked as non-TAA compliant, meaning it may not be suitable for U.S. federal government purchases that require TAA-compliant products. For commercial, state, local government, or educational institution use, this typically does not present a restriction.
