Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord is engineered to handle up to 250 volts AC at 15 amps, providing robust power capacity for demanding IT equipment. The IEC320C14 male connector plugs directly into power distribution units (PDUs), UPS systems, or wall outlets, while the IEC320C13 female end connects to compatible devices like monitors, servers, or networking gear.
The 3-pin locking shroud design on both connectors ensures positive mating and strain relief, reducing wear on the contacts over repeated connections. The blue color provides visual identification in cable management systems, helping technicians quickly distinguish power cables from data cables in dense installations.
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 C2G power cord combines durable construction with practical features for IT infrastructure deployment. The locking connector design prevents accidental disconnections that can cause equipment downtime, while the SVT-rated jacket provides flexibility and crush resistance in tight spaces.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Secure Connection, Visual Identification.
Secure Connection
The 3-pin locking shroud ensures connectors stay firmly mated even when cables are moved or adjusted during maintenance.
- Positive locking mechanism
- Strain relief design
- Prevents accidental disconnection
Visual Identification
The distinctive blue color allows for quick visual identification in cable management systems, reducing installation and troubleshooting time.
- Color-coded for organization
- Easy to distinguish from data cables
- Simplifies cable tracing
Deployment / Use Cases
This power cord is ideal for connecting computer monitors, desktop workstations, and peripheral devices to power sources in office environments. The 3-foot length provides just enough reach for clean cable management behind desks or in monitor arms, minimizing excess cable clutter while maintaining proper strain relief.
In data center and server room applications, these cords work well for short runs between rack-mounted equipment and PDUs or UPS systems. The locking connectors ensure reliable power delivery to critical infrastructure, while the blue color helps technicians quickly identify power cables during maintenance or expansion projects.
Office Workstation Setup
Connect monitors, CPUs, and peripherals to power strips or wall outlets with clean cable management behind desks.
Rack-Mounted Equipment
Provide power to servers, switches, and other rack-mounted devices with secure locking connections that won't vibrate loose.
Physical Profile
Measuring 3 feet (0.91 meters) in length, this power cord offers optimal reach for most desktop and rack applications without excess cable to manage. The blue SVT-rated jacket provides both flexibility for tight bends and durability against abrasion in cable trays or behind equipment. At 6.72 ounces (190.51 grams), the cord is lightweight yet substantial enough to maintain proper strain relief without pulling on connectors.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with this IEC320C14 to IEC320C13 power cord?
This power cord connects any device with an IEC320C13 female power inlet to a power source with an IEC320C14 outlet. Common compatible devices include computer monitors, desktop workstations, servers, networking equipment, and various peripherals that use standard IEC power connectors. The locking design ensures secure connections for equipment that may be moved or adjusted during maintenance.
What is the maximum power capacity of this 14AWG power cord?
This power cord is rated for 250 volts AC at 15 amps, providing a maximum power capacity of 3,750 watts (250V × 15A). The 14AWG wire gauge ensures efficient power transmission with minimal voltage drop over the 3-foot length, making it suitable for powering most office and data center equipment within its rated specifications.
How does the locking connector design improve reliability?
The 3-pin locking shroud on both connectors creates a positive mechanical lock that prevents accidental disconnection. This is particularly valuable in environments where cables may be bumped during maintenance or where equipment vibration could cause standard connectors to work loose. The locking mechanism requires deliberate pressure to disconnect, ensuring continuous power delivery to critical equipment.
Why choose a 3-foot power cord instead of longer options?
A 3-foot cord provides just enough reach for most desktop and rack applications while minimizing excess cable that can create clutter and airflow obstruction. Shorter cords are easier to manage in cable trays, reduce trip hazards behind workstations, and maintain proper strain relief without excessive slack. This length is ideal for connecting equipment to nearby power sources in organized IT environments.
What does the SVT-rated jacket provide for this power cord?
The SVT (Service Vacuum Thermoplastic) rating indicates the jacket material meets specific standards for flexibility, durability, and safety. This rating ensures the cord remains flexible in various temperatures while providing crush resistance and protection against abrasion. The SVT jacket is particularly suitable for office and data center environments where cables may be routed through tight spaces or cable management systems.
What warranty coverage does C2G provide for this power cord?
C2G backs this power cord with a 3-year limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty provides assurance of product quality and reliability for business deployments where consistent power delivery is essential. The warranty terms are consistent with C2G's commitment to durable connectivity solutions for IT infrastructure.
