Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord meets specific technical requirements for commercial power applications. The C14 male connector plugs into standard IEC 60320 C13 inlets commonly found on power distribution units and UPS systems, while the C13 female end connects to devices with C14 inlets such as servers and network equipment. The 18 AWG copper conductors ensure efficient current carrying capacity up to 10 amps, with voltage handling up to 250 volts for compatibility with various power infrastructures.
The P-Lock feature adds an extra layer of security by allowing compatible locking mechanisms to secure the connection, reducing downtime risks from accidental cable removal. The Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT) jacket material provides oil resistance and flexibility across a temperature range suitable for data center and office environments. With a total length of 5 feet (1.52 meters), the cord offers sufficient reach for typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-outlet configurations while maintaining a manageable footprint.
Key Product Advantages
This AddOn power cord delivers several practical advantages for IT infrastructure deployment.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with this C14 to C13 power cord?
This power cord connects devices with C14 inlets (like servers, UPS units, and some network equipment) to power sources with C13 outlets (such as PDUs, power strips, or UPS outputs). It's commonly used in data centers for server-to-PDU connections and in offices for equipment-to-power-strip configurations.
How does the P-Lock feature work with this power cord?
The P-Lock compatibility allows this cord to work with locking mechanisms that secure the C13/C14 connection. When used with compatible P-Lock devices, a locking tab engages to prevent accidental disconnection, which is particularly valuable 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 cord is rated for 250 volts at 10 amps, providing up to 2,500 watts of power capacity under ideal conditions. The 18 AWG gauge ensures efficient current carrying while maintaining flexibility for routing in confined spaces like cable management channels or behind equipment racks.
Is this power cord suitable for rack-mounted equipment installations?
Yes, the 5-foot length and flexible PVC SJT jacket make this cord well-suited for rack deployments. It provides sufficient reach for connecting equipment within standard rack configurations while allowing for neat cable management. The black color blends with most rack equipment for a clean professional appearance.
What are the advantages of the PVC SJT jacket material?
The Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT) jacket offers oil resistance, flexibility across typical operating temperatures, and durability against abrasion. This makes the cord suitable for data center environments where it might contact other cables or equipment, while maintaining easy handling during installation and maintenance.
Can this power cord be used with international power systems?
The 250V rating makes this cord compatible with many international power systems, though always verify local voltage requirements. The C14/C13 connectors follow IEC 60320 standards used globally, but the cord itself is designed for commercial applications rather than consumer electronics with different plug types.
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.
