Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord uses 12AWG copper conductors, which offer lower resistance and higher current capacity compared to thinner gauges. The IEC320C20 male connector mates with C19 inlets commonly found on enterprise-grade PDUs and UPS systems, while the IEC320C19 female end connects directly to server or switch power supplies.
The 250V AC / 20A rating ensures compatibility with North American 208-240V rack power circuits. The cord is constructed with flame-retardant PVC jacket and strain-relief boots at both connectors for durability.

When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This cord delivers robust power connectivity with several practical benefits for IT infrastructure deployment.
High-Current Design
The 12AWG wire gauge and 20A rating support power-hungry devices without voltage drop or overheating concerns.
- Lower resistance than 14AWG or 16AWG cords
- Suitable for 208-240V server circuits
- Minimizes power loss over distance
Rack-Ready Compatibility
IEC320C20 to IEC320C19 is the standard connection for connecting servers and switches to PDUs in 19-inch racks.
- Direct replacement for OEM server power cords
- Fits most rack PDU outlets
- Eliminates adapter needs
Visual Management
The bright red jacket allows quick identification in cable bundles, reducing troubleshooting time during maintenance or upgrades.
- High-visibility color contrasts with black equipment
- Easy to trace in dense racks
- Supports color-coded power schemes
Deployment / Use Cases
This power cord is ideal for environments where reliable, high-current power connections are critical. Its design addresses common pain points in data center and network infrastructure.
In server racks, it connects dual-power-supply servers to separate PDUs for redundancy. For network switches, it ensures stable power delivery even under full PoE load. In colocation facilities, the red color helps technicians quickly identify customer-specific power circuits during hands-on work.

Data Center Server Power
Connect rack servers to vertical or horizontal PDUs. The 5-foot length accommodates side-to-side or front-to-back PDU placement without excessive slack.
Network Switch Installation
Power high-port-count switches with PoE capabilities. The 20A rating supports switches drawing up to 2400W at 120V or 4800W at 240V.
Physical Profile
The cord features a straight-blade IEC320C20 connector and a coupler-style IEC320C19 connector, both with molded strain relief. The red PVC jacket is smooth and flexible for easy routing through cable management arms or vertical organizers. At 408.2 grams, it is substantial enough for secure connection without being cumbersome.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 408.2 g. This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What devices is this power cord compatible with?
This cord is designed for equipment with IEC320C19 female power inlets, typically found on rack-mounted servers, network switches, and some power distribution units (PDUs). It connects these devices to power sources with IEC320C20 outlets, commonly used on PDUs in data center environments.
What is the advantage of 12AWG wire in this cord?
12AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates thicker copper conductors than standard 14AWG or 16AWG power cords. This reduces electrical resistance, minimizes voltage drop over distance, and allows higher current capacity (20A) with less heat generation. It is essential for powering high-wattage servers and switches.
Can this cord be used with 120V circuits?
Yes, the 250V AC rating means it can safely handle voltages up to 250V, including standard 120V North American circuits. The 20A current rating applies at any voltage within its range, so it provides ample capacity for 120V devices drawing up to 2400W.
Why is the cord color red?
The red color serves as a visual management tool in data centers and server rooms. It helps technicians quickly identify specific power circuits, distinguish between A and B power feeds in redundant systems, or mark emergency power connections, reducing errors during maintenance or troubleshooting.
What is the warranty period for this power cord?
C2G provides a 3-year limited warranty for this power cord, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty period reflects the product's durability and suitability for continuous operation in commercial and data center environments.
Is this cord compliant with environmental regulations?
Yes, this power cord meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) standards. These regulations limit specific hazardous materials in electrical equipment, making the cord safer for disposal and recycling.
