FAQ
What devices are compatible with this AddOn power cord?
This power cord is compatible with any equipment that uses C13 female power inlets, such as desktop computers, monitors, servers, and networking devices. The C14 male end connects to power distribution units (PDUs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), or standard wall outlets with appropriate adapters, making it versatile for IT and office environments.
How does the P-Lock feature work on this cord?
The P-Lock feature includes a mechanical locking mechanism that secures the connector in place once plugged in. This prevents the cord from being easily pulled out accidentally, which is especially useful in server racks, data centers, or areas with high foot traffic where cable stability is critical for uninterrupted operation.
What is the significance of the 18 AWG gauge rating?
The 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating indicates the thickness of the wire inside the cord. This gauge provides sufficient current-carrying capacity for typical IT loads up to 10 amps, ensuring efficient power transmission with minimal voltage drop over the 6-foot length, which is important for maintaining device performance and safety.
Can this cord be used in rack-mounted setups?
Yes, this cord is well-suited for rack-mounted setups. The C14 to C13 configuration is standard for connecting servers to PDUs in racks, and the P-Lock feature adds extra security to prevent disconnections during rack maintenance or vibrations. The 6-foot length allows for neat cable management within rack enclosures.
What are the advantages of the PVC SJT jacket material?
The PVC SJT (Service Junior Thermoplastic) jacket combines polyvinyl chloride with thermoplastic materials to offer durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion, oils, and moisture. This makes the cord robust enough for commercial use, extending its lifespan in environments where cables may be exposed to physical stress or moderate environmental factors.
Is this power cord compliant with safety standards for commercial use?
This cord is rated for 250 volts at 10 amps, which aligns with common commercial electrical standards. However, it is not TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, as indicated in the specifications. For applications requiring TAA compliance, alternative cords should be considered, but for general business IT use, it meets typical safety and performance requirements.
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.
