FAQ
What devices are compatible with this C14 to C13 power cord?
This power cord connects devices with C13 power inlets (like most desktop computers, monitors, and UPS units) to power sources with C14 outlets (such as power distribution units or certain power strips). It follows IEC 60320 standards, making it compatible with a wide range of commercial and IT equipment that uses these standardized connectors.
How does the P-Lock feature work on this power cord?
The P-Lock feature provides a secure locking mechanism that prevents the power cord from accidentally disconnecting. When plugged into a compatible P-Lock receptacle, the connector locks in place, requiring deliberate pressure on the release mechanism to unplug it. This is particularly useful in environments with vibration, movement, or where maintaining continuous power is critical.
What is the maximum power capacity of this 18 AWG power cord?
This power cord is rated for 250 volts at 10 amps, providing up to 2,500 watts of power capacity. The 18 AWG wire gauge is appropriate for this rating in typical office and commercial applications. Always ensure connected equipment does not exceed the cord's electrical specifications for safe operation.
Is this power cord suitable for rack-mounted equipment?
Yes, this power cord works well with rack-mounted equipment. The 3-foot length provides adequate reach for connecting servers, switches, and other rack devices to nearby power distribution units. The P-Lock feature is especially valuable in rack environments where vibration from cooling fans or equipment movement could cause standard connectors to work loose over time.
What does the SJT jacket designation mean for this power cord?
SJT stands for Service Junior Thermoplastic, a jacket rating indicating the cord is suitable for general-purpose use with good flexibility and durability. Combined with PVC material, this jacket provides resistance to abrasion, oils, and moisture while maintaining flexibility for routing through cable management systems. The blue color aids in visual identification in multi-cable installations.
Can this power cord be used with international power systems?
The 250V rating supports many international power systems, but compatibility depends on the specific voltage and connector standards in each country. While the electrical rating may be suitable, the C14 and C13 connectors follow IEC 60320 standards commonly used in North America and many other regions. Always verify local electrical standards and outlet configurations before deployment.
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.
