Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord is built to meet rigorous technical standards for commercial and industrial use. The IEC320C20 male connector plugs into compatible PDUs or power sources, while the IEC320C19 female end connects directly to servers, switches, or other high-power devices requiring a C19 inlet. The 3-pin design includes grounding for enhanced electrical safety.
The cord's construction uses 12AWG copper conductors, which provide lower resistance and better current handling compared to thinner gauges. This design minimizes heat generation and ensures stable power delivery under full 20A load conditions. The green PVC jacket offers durability and easy identification in multi-cable environments.
Relevant factors for this section include First End Connector Type, First End Connector Detail, Second End Connector Type, Voltage Rating. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This power cord delivers several practical benefits for IT infrastructure deployments. Its short 1-foot length reduces cable clutter in densely packed racks, improving airflow and simplifying maintenance. The high-current 20A rating ensures compatibility with power-hungry servers and network switches, providing a margin of safety for continuous operation.
High-Power Compatibility
Rated for 250V AC / 20A, this cord supports equipment with substantial power demands, including blade servers, high-port-count switches, and power distribution units.
- Handles up to 20A continuous current
- Suitable for 250V AC applications
- 12AWG conductors minimize voltage drop
Rack-Optimized Design
The 1-foot length is specifically chosen for rack-mounted environments where excess cable can obstruct airflow and complicate cable management.
- Reduces clutter in server racks
- Improves thermal management
- Simplifies installation and servicing
Deployment / Use Cases
This power cord is primarily designed for data center and server room applications where reliable power connections are critical. It serves as the link between PDUs and individual pieces of equipment, ensuring clean power delivery to sensitive electronics.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting rack-mounted PDUs to servers in blade enclosures, linking power sources to high-density network switches, and powering storage arrays in enterprise environments. The cord's specific connector combination (C20 to C19) targets equipment with C19 inlets, which are common on servers, switches, and some UPS units.
Data Center Rack Installation
Ideal for connecting PDUs to servers and switches within standard 19-inch racks. The short length keeps cables tidy and prevents interference with hot/cold aisle airflow.
High-Power Network Equipment
Suitable for powering network switches with substantial power requirements, particularly those with multiple PoE+ ports or high-throughput capabilities.
Physical Profile
The cord features a compact 1-foot (0.30 meter) length with a durable green PVC jacket that resists abrasion and maintains flexibility in tight spaces. Weighing approximately 181.4 grams, it adds minimal load to cable management systems while providing robust construction. The green color offers visual differentiation in multi-cable installations, helping technicians quickly identify power connections during maintenance or troubleshooting.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 181.4 g. This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What devices is this power cord compatible with?
This cord is designed for PDUs (power distribution units), network switches, and servers that feature IEC320C19 female inlets. The IEC320C20 male end connects to compatible PDUs or power sources. It's commonly used in data center racks to provide power to enterprise-grade equipment requiring high-current connections.
What is the voltage and current rating of this power cord?
The C2G 17711 power cord is rated for 250 volts AC at 20 amps. This rating ensures it can handle the power demands of servers, switches, and other high-power IT equipment without overheating or voltage drop issues, particularly important in continuous-operation environments.
Why is the cord only 1 foot long?
The 1-foot length is specifically chosen for rack-mounted installations where minimal cable length reduces clutter, improves airflow for cooling, and simplifies cable management. This short run is ideal for connecting equipment directly to nearby PDUs within the same rack enclosure.
What does 12AWG mean for this power cord?
12AWG refers to the American Wire Gauge standard, indicating the thickness of the copper conductors inside the cord. 12AWG is a relatively thick gauge that provides lower electrical resistance, allowing more efficient current flow with less voltage drop and heat generation compared to thinner gauges, which is crucial for 20A applications.
What environmental standards does this cord meet?
This power cord complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. These standards ensure the cord is manufactured without certain hazardous materials, making it environmentally responsible and suitable for use in facilities with strict environmental policies.
What warranty comes with this power cord?
C2G provides a 3-year limited warranty for this power cord. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, giving you confidence in the product's durability and reliability for critical power connections in business IT environments.
