FAQ
What types of equipment is this HPE JL351A power cord compatible with?
This power cord is compatible with equipment that requires a NEMA 6-20P to IEC 60320 C19 connection, including many HPE servers, power distribution units, and other enterprise-grade IT hardware designed for 250V applications. The IEC 60320 C19 connector interfaces with compatible power supplies and distribution equipment commonly found in professional IT environments.
What is the difference between NEMA 6-20P and standard NEMA 5-15P connectors?
The NEMA 6-20P connector on this cord is designed for 250V applications with a 20-amp rating, featuring a different blade configuration than the more common NEMA 5-15P connector used for 125V applications. NEMA 6-20P connectors have two horizontal blades and a ground pin, while NEMA 5-15P connectors have one vertical and one horizontal blade. This cord requires compatible 250V outlets rather than standard 125V household outlets.
Can this power cord be used with standard household outlets?
No, this power cord cannot be used with standard household outlets. The NEMA 6-20P connector requires a compatible 250V, 20-amp outlet, which is typically found in commercial and industrial settings rather than residential environments. Attempting to use this cord with incompatible outlets could result in improper connections or safety hazards.
What is the purpose of the IEC 60320 C19 connector on this power cord?
The IEC 60320 C19 connector provides a standardized interface for connecting to compatible power distribution equipment, server power supplies, and other professional IT hardware. This connector type is commonly used in data centers and server rooms for equipment requiring higher current capacity than standard IEC C13 connectors can provide, making it suitable for enterprise-grade power applications.
Is the 8.2-foot cord length sufficient for typical rack installations?
Yes, the 8.2-foot (2.50-meter) cord length provides adequate reach for most rack installation scenarios. This length accommodates typical distances between rack-mounted equipment and power distribution units or wall outlets in data center environments while minimizing excess cable that requires management. The cord offers practical flexibility without creating excessive cable clutter in professional IT setups.
Why would I choose an HPE-branded power cord over generic alternatives?
HPE-branded power cords like the JL351A are engineered to meet Hewlett Packard Enterprise's quality standards for electrical safety, durability, and compatibility with HPE equipment. These cords undergo testing to ensure proper performance with HPE servers and infrastructure, reducing compatibility concerns and providing assurance of reliable power connectivity in professional IT environments where equipment uptime is critical.
