Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord uses a NEMA 5-15P plug, the common North American 15-amp grounded connector, paired with an IEC 60320 C13 socket that interfaces with computers, monitors, UPS units, and other IT hardware. The 20-foot length offers flexible placement options in rack-mounted or distributed equipment layouts.
The blue jacket provides visual differentiation in multi-cable environments, aiding quick identification during maintenance or reconfiguration. Compliance with RoHS ensures the cord is manufactured without restricted hazardous substances, aligning with corporate sustainability goals.
This section brings together practical product details such as First End Connector Type, First End Connector Detail, Second End Connector Type, Cord Length, 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
The SignalSAFE design emphasizes reliability in signal-sensitive environments, minimizing interference for clean power delivery to sensitive electronics. The blue color coding simplifies cable identification in dense installations, reducing setup time and troubleshooting errors.
Extended Reach for Flexible Deployment
The 20-foot cord length allows equipment to be positioned farther from power sources, accommodating deep racks, wall-mounted displays, or distributed server setups without requiring extension cords.
- Reduces cable clutter with fewer extensions
- Supports equipment placement up to 6.1 meters from outlet
Standardized Connectors for Broad Compatibility
NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C13 is the most common power interface for IT and AV equipment, ensuring compatibility with desktop computers, monitors, network switches, and small UPS units.
- Fits standard North American wall outlets
- Connects to most IT hardware power inputs
Deployment / Use Cases
This power cord supports deployments where equipment must be positioned away from wall outlets, such as in data centers with raised floors, classrooms with ceiling-mounted projectors, or offices with centralized IT cabinets. The RoHS compliance makes it appropriate for organizations with environmental procurement policies.
Use it to replace shorter stock cords that limit placement flexibility, or as part of a color-coded cable management system where blue indicates standard power connections distinct from network, audio, or video cables.
Rack-Mounted Equipment Power
Ideal for connecting servers, network switches, PDUs, or KVM switches in standard 19-inch racks, where the 20-foot length accommodates vertical cable routing and rear-panel access.
Professional AV and Digital Signage
Suitable for powering displays, media players, or audio amplifiers in conference rooms, retail environments, or control rooms, with the blue jacket blending into professional installations.

FAQ
What equipment is compatible with this power cord?
This cord connects standard North American wall outlets (via the NEMA 5-15P plug) to devices with IEC 60320 C13 power inputs, including desktop computers, monitors, network switches, small UPS units, printers, and AV equipment. It is not designed for high-power appliances or international outlets.
How does the 20-foot length benefit installation?
The 20-foot (6.10 m) length allows equipment to be placed up to 6 meters from power sources, accommodating rack-mounted setups, distributed office layouts, or ceiling-mounted projectors without requiring extension cords. This reduces cable clutter and improves safety by minimizing connection points.
What does RoHS compliance mean for this product?
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance indicates the cord is manufactured without lead, mercury, cadmium, and other restricted materials, making it environmentally safer for disposal and aligning with corporate sustainability policies. It meets international standards for reduced hazardous substance content.
What warranty coverage does this power cord include?
The cord comes with a 3-year limited warranty from Middle Atlantic, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty provides long-term assurance for business deployments where reliability is critical.
Why is the cord color blue?
The blue jacket provides visual differentiation in multi-cable environments, helping technicians quickly identify power cords separate from network (often gray/yellow), audio, or video cables. This color coding reduces setup errors and simplifies maintenance in dense installations like server racks.
Can this cord be used in rack-mounted power distribution units (PDUs)?
Yes, it can connect a rack PDU with IEC C13 outlets to a wall outlet, provided the PDU's power draw does not exceed the cord's 15-amp rating. The 20-foot length is suitable for vertical routing in racks where outlets may be distant.
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.
Is this unit designed for rack or tower deployment?
For power-protection products, the most useful FAQ topics are usually capacity, outlet arrangement, runtime characteristics, and installation format. Those details do more to explain real deployment fit than generic marketing language.
