FAQ
What is the current rating of this HPE power extension cable?
The HPE AF590A power extension cable has a 15-amp current rating, which provides sufficient capacity to support the power requirements of enterprise server equipment in rack environments. This rating ensures the cable can handle typical server loads without overheating or voltage drop issues.
What connectors does this power extension cable use?
This cable features an IEC 60320 C20 connector on one end and an IEC 320 EN 60320 C13 connector on the other end. This configuration creates a standardized interface between power distribution units (typically using C20 outlets) and server equipment (typically using C13 inlets) in data center environments.
How long is the cord on this HPE power extension cable?
The cord measures 6.6 feet (2 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach for typical rack configurations where equipment may be positioned some distance from power sources. This length allows for flexible placement while maintaining proper cable management in rack environments.
Which HPE equipment is this power extension cable compatible with?
The AF590A is specifically compatible with Hewlett Packard BladeSystem c3000 enclosures and Hewlett Packard 10000 G2 series racks. These compatibility specifications ensure the cable meets the electrical and mechanical requirements of these HPE rack systems for reliable operation.
Can this power extension cable be used with non-HPE equipment?
While specifically validated for HPE rack systems, the cable uses standard IEC C20 and C13 connectors that are common in data center environments. It may work with other equipment using compatible connectors, but for guaranteed performance and warranty coverage, HPE recommends using it with the specified compatible equipment.
What are the primary use cases for this power extension cable?
This cable is primarily used in data center environments to extend power connections from power distribution units to servers in rack configurations. Common applications include providing additional reach for HPE BladeSystem c3000 enclosures and 10000 G2 series racks where standard power cords are insufficient for the installation layout.
