Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cable meets IEC 60320 standards for connector compatibility and safety. The C13 female connector interfaces with computer power supplies, servers, and networking equipment, while the C14 male connector plugs directly into PDUs, UPS units, or wall outlets. The 3-pin locking design ensures a secure physical connection that resists vibration and accidental pull-out.
The 14 AWG wire gauge provides optimal current-carrying capacity with minimal voltage drop over the 3.9-foot length. This specification makes the cable suitable for equipment drawing up to 15 amps continuously, including servers, workstations, and power distribution units in commercial IT installations.
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.
Key Product Advantages
The bright blue color provides immediate visual identification in complex cable management scenarios, reducing installation time and minimizing errors during maintenance or reconfiguration. This cable carries a 1-year limited warranty from AddOn, providing assurance of quality and durability in commercial applications.
Secure Locking Mechanism
The positive-locking connectors prevent accidental disconnections that could cause equipment downtime or data loss in critical computing environments.
- Eliminates vibration-induced disconnects
- Reduces maintenance interventions
- Improves system reliability
Wide Voltage Compatibility
Rated for 100-250V operation, this cable supports equipment in both North American 120V and international 230V power systems without requiring different cables for different regions.
- Simplifies inventory management
- Supports global deployments
- Reduces compatibility concerns
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable serves as a direct replacement for standard non-locking power cords in environments where connection security is paramount. The 3.9-foot length provides sufficient reach for most rack-to-rack or equipment-to-outlet configurations while maintaining tidy cable management.
IT managers can standardize on this cable for both new deployments and as replacement inventory, knowing it meets the electrical requirements of most computer equipment while offering the additional security of locking connectors. The blue color facilitates quick identification during audits, troubleshooting, or expansion projects.
Data Center and Server Room Applications
Connect servers, network switches, and storage arrays to rack-mounted PDUs or UPS systems where secure connections prevent service interruptions during maintenance or equipment movement.
Office and Workstation Environments
Power desktop computers, monitors, and peripherals from wall outlets or power strips, with the locking feature preventing accidental disconnection from foot traffic or cleaning activities.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with this locking power cable?
This cable connects equipment with C14 female power inlets (typically servers, desktop computers, monitors, and networking gear) to power sources with C13 outlets (found on PDUs, UPS units, and some power strips). The locking mechanism works with any equipment designed for standard IEC 60320 C13/C14 connections that accept locking connectors.
What is the advantage of locking connectors versus standard connectors?
Locking connectors physically secure the connection with a positive latch mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection from vibration, cable tension, or incidental contact. This is particularly valuable in data centers, server rooms, and industrial environments where maintaining continuous power is critical to system uptime and data integrity.
Can this cable handle 230V international power systems?
Yes, this cable is rated for 100-250V operation, making it fully compatible with both 120V North American and 230V international power systems. The 14 AWG conductors and insulation are designed to handle the higher voltage without degradation, allowing the same cable to be used globally where equipment power requirements match.
What does the 14 AWG specification mean for performance?
14 AWG refers to the thickness of the copper conductors inside the cable. Thicker 14 AWG wire has lower electrical resistance than thinner gauges, which reduces voltage drop over the cable length and allows it to safely carry up to 15 amps of current. This makes it suitable for powering equipment with higher power demands like servers and workstations.
Is this cable TAA compliant for government purchasing?
No, this specific model (ADD-C13LK2C14LK14AWG4FTBE) is not TAA compliant according to the product specifications. Organizations with TAA compliance requirements should verify alternative products that meet their specific procurement guidelines for telecommunications and information technology equipment.
What warranty coverage does this power cable include?
AddOn provides a 1-year limited warranty for this power cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty period is standard for commercial-grade power cables and provides assurance of product quality for business and institutional purchasers deploying the cable in IT infrastructure.
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 120 V AC,230 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
