Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord features a precise connector configuration with an IEC 60320 C15 plug on one end and an SABS 164 plug on the opposite end. The IEC 60320 C15 connector is commonly used for higher-temperature applications and is often found on computing equipment, servers, and certain power distribution units, ensuring a secure fit for devices designed with this inlet.
The SABS 164 connector conforms to South African Bureau of Standards specifications, providing compatibility with regional power outlets in applicable deployments. The cord's 8.2-foot (2.50-meter) length is measured to offer sufficient slack for tidy cable management while accommodating typical distances between equipment and wall outlets or PDUs.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with the HPE J9956A power cord?
This cord is compatible with any device that has an IEC 60320 C15 power inlet and is intended to be plugged into a power source with an SABS 164 outlet. It is commonly used with HPE servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and other computing hardware designed for this connector standard. Always verify your device's power inlet specifications before use.
What is the length of this power cord, and is it sufficient for rack installations?
The HPE J9956A power cord is 8.2 feet (2.50 meters) long. This length is generally sufficient for most rack installations, allowing the cord to reach from a server or switch to a power distribution unit (PDU) or wall outlet within the same rack or an adjacent one. It provides enough slack for proper cable management without excessive coiling.
What does IEC 60320 C15 and SABS 164 mean for this power cord?
IEC 60320 C15 is an international standard connector type often used for devices that operate at higher temperatures, such as servers and computing equipment. SABS 164 is a South African standard connector that plugs into corresponding wall outlets. This cord bridges these two standards, enabling compatible equipment to connect to South African power sources securely.
Is this power cord suitable for use outside of South Africa?
The HPE J9956A power cord is designed specifically for use with SABS 164 outlets, which are standard in South Africa. It may not be directly compatible with outlet types in other regions without an adapter or different wiring. For international deployments, ensure the local power outlets match the SABS 164 connector or use appropriate certified adapters.
Can this cord be used as a replacement for an existing HPE power cable?
Yes, if your existing HPE equipment uses an IEC 60320 C15 power inlet and you are in an environment with SABS 164 outlets, this J9956A cord serves as a direct replacement. Match the connector types and length to your original cable's specifications to ensure proper fit and function.
Does HPE provide any warranty or certification with this power cord?
As an HPE-branded accessory, this power cord is manufactured to HPE's quality standards and is designed for compatibility with their equipment. Specific warranty terms should be verified with HPE or the reseller, but it typically meets industry safety and performance certifications for reliable use in IT deployments.
