Physical Profile
The cord measures 6 feet (1.83 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach for most rack-to-rack or equipment-to-outlet connections without excessive slack. The black PVC SJT jacket offers both durability and flexibility, making it easier to route through cable management systems. At approximately 4.8 ounces, the cord is lightweight yet robust enough for permanent installations.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 4.80 oz (136.08 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the difference between C14 and C15 connectors?
C14 and C15 connectors are similar in appearance but have different temperature ratings. C15 connectors are rated for higher temperatures (up to 120°C) compared to C14 connectors (70°C). This cord has a C14 male end and C15 female end, making it suitable for connecting to equipment that requires the higher temperature rating of C15 inlets.
What does P-Lock compatible mean?
P-Lock refers to a positive locking mechanism that secures the power cord connector to the equipment inlet. This prevents accidental disconnection due to vibration, movement, or accidental tugging on the cord. P-Lock compatibility is particularly valuable in rack-mounted equipment where secure connections are critical for system reliability.
What equipment typically uses C14 to C15 power cords?
This cord configuration is commonly used with servers, power distribution units (PDUs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and other IT equipment that generates significant heat or operates in warm environments. The C15 female end connects to equipment with C15 inlets, which are designed for higher-temperature applications than standard C13/C14 connections.
What is the advantage of 14 AWG wire in a power cord?
14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the thickness of the copper conductors inside the cord. Thicker 14 AWG wire has lower electrical resistance than thinner gauges, which means less voltage drop over the cord's length when carrying current. This ensures more stable power delivery to connected equipment, especially important when running at or near the 15-amp maximum rating.
Is this power cord suitable for rack-mounted equipment?
Yes, this cord is well-suited for rack-mounted equipment. The 6-foot length provides flexibility for routing within standard server racks, while the P-Lock compatibility ensures secure connections that won't vibrate loose. The black color blends with most rack equipment, and the high-temperature rating accommodates the warmer environment often found in enclosed racks.
What does SJT mean in the jacket material description?
SJT stands for Service Junior Thermoplastic, which is a specific type of jacket rating for electrical cords. SJT cords are designed for hard service applications with good flexibility and durability. Combined with PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this jacket material provides resistance to abrasion, oils, and chemicals while remaining flexible for easy installation and 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.
