The cord length of 3 feet (0.91 meters) offers practical reach for rack-mounted or closely positioned devices. The SJT jacket material ensures flexibility and protection against abrasion, oils, and moisture in typical office or data center settings.
This section brings together practical product details such as First End Connector Type, First End Connector Detail, Second End Connector Type, Voltage Rating, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
This Legrand power cord combines high electrical capacity with durable construction, providing a dependable link between power sources and critical IT hardware.
High-Current Support
Rated for 20 amps at 250 volts, the cord handles demanding loads from servers, UPS units, and power distribution equipment without overheating or voltage drop issues.
- 12/3 gauge wiring for efficient power transfer
- Suitable for 250V/20A applications
Professional-Grade Connectors
IEC 60320 C20 and C21 connectors ensure secure, standardized connections that reduce the risk of loose fittings or accidental disconnections in rack environments.
- C20 male plug for PDU or UPS input
- C21 female socket for device connection
Durable Construction
The SJT jacket resists environmental stressors, maintaining integrity in commercial settings where cords may encounter movement, contact, or minor impacts.
- Black color blends with equipment
- Flexible yet tough thermoplastic material
Deployment / Use Cases
This power cord is ideal for connecting UPS systems, PDUs, or high-power servers to electrical outlets in data centers, server rooms, and network closets. The C20 to C21 configuration is commonly used in power distribution chains where upstream devices feed downstream equipment.
In rack-mounted deployments, the 3-foot length provides enough slack for tidy cable management without excessive coiling. The cord's 20-amp rating supports equipment with higher power draws, reducing the need for multiple lower-capacity cords.
UPS and PDU Connections
Use this cord to link a UPS or PDU to a wall outlet or upstream power source, ensuring the backup or distribution unit receives adequate power for its connected loads.
Server and Network Gear
Power high-draw servers, switches, or storage arrays that require 20-amp circuits, leveraging the cord's robust gauge and connectors for reliable operation.

FAQ
What are the voltage and current ratings of this Legrand power cord?
This power cord is rated for 250 volts and 20 amps, making it suitable for high-power applications such as UPS units, PDUs, and servers that require robust electrical capacity. The 12/3 gauge wiring ensures efficient power transfer at these ratings.
What types of connectors does this cord have?
The cord features an IEC 60320 C20 male connector on one end and an IEC 60320 C21 female connector on the other, both with 3-pin configurations. This setup is commonly used to connect power distribution equipment to devices in rack environments.
How long is the cord, and is the length sufficient for rack mounting?
The cord is 3 feet (0.91 meters) long, which provides adequate reach for most rack-mounted or closely positioned equipment. This length helps minimize cable clutter while allowing flexibility for routing in server cabinets or under desks.
What is the jacket material, and why is it important?
The jacket is made of Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT), a durable material that resists abrasion, oils, and moisture. This ensures the cord remains reliable in commercial environments where it may encounter movement or minor impacts.
Can this cord be used with standard wall outlets?
No, the IEC C20 male connector is designed for connection to PDUs, UPS systems, or other equipment with C20 inlets, not standard wall outlets. It is intended for use in professional power distribution chains rather than direct outlet connections.
What gauge is the wiring, and how does it affect performance?
The cord uses 12/3 gauge wiring, which refers to three 12-gauge conductors. This thicker gauge supports the 20-amp current rating by reducing resistance and heat buildup, ensuring safe and efficient power delivery for demanding loads.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 250 V, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
