FAQ
What devices is this power cord compatible with?
This power cord connects equipment with IEC320C19 female inlets to power sources with IEC320C20 male outlets. It's specifically designed for PDUs (power distribution units), switches, and servers that use these standard IEC connectors. The 20-amp rating makes it suitable for high-power enterprise equipment in data center and server room environments.
What are the voltage and current ratings of this power cord?
The C2G 17714 power cord is rated for 250 volts AC at 20 amps. This capacity supports demanding equipment while maintaining safety margins. The 12AWG conductor gauge ensures efficient power transmission with minimal voltage drop over the cord's 2-foot length, making it reliable for critical IT infrastructure.
How long is the power cord and what color is it?
This power cord measures 2 feet (0.61 meters) in length, making it ideal for short connections in rack-mounted environments. It features a distinctive blue jacket that aids in visual identification and cable management in complex installations. The color helps distinguish it from other power cords in dense server racks.
What environmental standards does this power cord meet?
This power cord complies with both RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) environmental regulations. These standards ensure the product meets strict requirements for hazardous material restrictions and chemical safety, making it suitable for use in environmentally conscious organizations.
What warranty comes with this power cord?
The C2G 17714 power cord includes a 3-year limited warranty. This coverage provides assurance of product quality and reliability for enterprise deployments. The warranty supports the cord's use in critical infrastructure applications where consistent performance is essential.
What is the advantage of the 12AWG gauge in this power cord?
The 12AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification indicates thicker copper conductors compared to common 14AWG or 16AWG cords. This larger gauge reduces electrical resistance, minimizes voltage drop over distance, and allows for better heat dissipation. For high-current applications up to 20 amps, 12AWG ensures safe, efficient power delivery to connected equipment.
