Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord meets specific electrical and mechanical standards for IT power distribution. The 14 AWG copper conductors deliver efficient current flow with minimal voltage drop over the 6-foot length, supporting continuous 15-amp loads. The C14 male connector interfaces with standard IEC 60320 C13 inlets found on many power supplies, while the C15 female end accepts C16 plugs commonly used on higher-temperature devices like servers and networking gear.
The jacket combines Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) with Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT) for durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion, oils, and moisture. P-Lock grooves allow compatibility with locking mechanisms to secure connections in environments where vibration or accidental tugs could interrupt power. With an approximate weight of 4.80 ounces (136.08 grams), the cord is lightweight yet built to withstand daily use in commercial settings.
Key Product Advantages
This AddOn power cord provides several advantages for IT professionals managing power infrastructure. The C14-to-C15 configuration addresses specific connectivity needs in server racks and UPS systems, where higher-temperature ratings are often required. The 14 AWG wiring ensures safe power transmission at full rated capacity, reducing the risk of overheating or voltage drop over the 6-foot distance.

Deployment / Use Cases
This power cord is ideal for connecting UPS units, server power supplies, network switches, and other IT equipment that requires C14 inlets and C16 plugs. The 6-foot length provides flexibility in rack layouts, allowing connections between adjacent units or from floor PDUs to elevated devices without excessive slack.
Common deployment scenarios include data center server racks where multiple devices need reliable high-temperature power links, office network closets with compact UPS backups, and industrial settings where vibration-resistant locking connectors are necessary. The cord also serves as a replacement or extension for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) power cables in aging infrastructure, ensuring compatibility with standard IEC connectors.
Physical Profile
The cord measures 6 feet (1.83 meters) end-to-end, providing practical reach for most rack and cabinet installations. The red PVC SJT jacket offers a balance of flexibility and durability, resisting kinks and abrasion during routing through cable managers or under raised floors. At approximately 4.80 ounces, it adds minimal weight to cable bundles, simplifying overhead tray installations or vertical runs in IT enclosures.

FAQ
What devices typically use a C14 to C15 power cord?
This cord connects equipment with C14 inlets, like many UPS units and power supplies, to devices with C16 plugs, such as servers, switches, and high-temperature rated appliances. It's common in data centers and server racks where secure, high-temperature power links are required.
What does the 14 AWG gauge mean for performance?
14 AWG indicates the wire thickness, with lower numbers representing thicker conductors. This gauge efficiently handles the rated 15-amp current over 6 feet, reducing resistance and voltage drop compared to thinner wires, ensuring stable power delivery to connected equipment.
How does the P-Lock feature improve reliability?
P-Lock compatibility allows the cord to work with locking mechanisms that secure the connector in place. This prevents accidental disconnection due to vibration, cable tugs, or movement in rack-mounted environments, maintaining continuous power and reducing downtime risks.
Is this cord suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes, the cord is rated for high temperatures, making it appropriate for use near servers, UPS units, or other equipment that generates heat. The materials maintain integrity and flexibility under thermal stress, ensuring long-term reliability in warm server rooms or industrial settings.
What are the advantages of the red jacket color?
The red color provides high visibility in complex cable runs, making it easier to identify specific connections during installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. This reduces errors and speeds up tasks in dense IT infrastructure where multiple cables are present.
Can this cord be used as a replacement for OEM power cables?
Yes, with its standard C14 male and C15 female connectors, this cord serves as a compatible replacement for many original equipment manufacturer cables in IT devices. Ensure your equipment requires these connector types and the 250V/15A rating matches your 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.
