FAQ
What equipment is this power cord compatible with?
This C14 male to C13 female power cord is compatible with any equipment that accepts standard IEC 60320 C13 connectors. This includes most servers, desktop computers, monitors, UPS units, PDUs, and network equipment that use C13 power input. The C14 end connects to power sources like wall outlets, power strips, or UPS outputs that provide C14 receptacles.
What does P-Lock compatibility mean?
P-Lock compatibility means this power cord can work with equipment that has a mechanical locking mechanism to secure the connection. This feature prevents accidental disconnection due to vibration, movement, or accidental tugging on the cable. It's particularly valuable in rack-mounted installations, mobile equipment, or environments where maintaining continuous power is critical.
What is the maximum power this cord can handle?
This power cord is rated for 250 volts at 10 amps, which translates to a maximum power handling capacity of 2,500 watts (250V × 10A). The 18 AWG wiring provides sufficient current-carrying capacity for this rating while maintaining safety margins. Always ensure your equipment's power requirements stay within these limits for safe operation.
How long is the cord and is the length sufficient for my needs?
The cord measures 3 feet (0.91 meters) from end to end. This length is ideal for connecting equipment to nearby power sources in rack-mounted configurations or desktop setups where minimal cable clutter is desired. For longer reaches, you would need to consider extension cords or longer power cables, but this 3-foot length works well for most standard IT installations.
What are the advantages of the red PVC SJT jacket?
The red PVC Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT) jacket offers several advantages: The bright red color provides easy visual identification in cable management systems, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance. The SJT construction offers flexibility across temperature variations while providing resistance to abrasion, oils, and moisture. This makes the cord durable enough for commercial and light industrial environments while maintaining electrical safety.
Is this power cord suitable for rack-mounted equipment?
Yes, this power cord is well-suited for rack-mounted equipment. The 3-foot length provides appropriate reach for connecting servers, switches, or other rack devices to nearby PDUs or UPS units. The P-Lock compatibility is especially valuable in rack environments where vibration from cooling fans and equipment operation could cause standard connectors to work loose over time. The durable SJT jacket also withstands the physical demands of rack cable management.
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.
