FAQ
What devices use C20 to C19 power connections?
C20 to C19 power cords typically connect higher-power equipment like servers, rack-mounted power distribution units (PDUs), and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The C20 male connector plugs into power sources or upstream PDUs, while the C19 female connector accepts power from equipment requiring substantial current delivery. This configuration is common in data centers and server rooms where reliable, high-current power connections are essential.
What does P-Lock compatibility mean for this power cord?
P-Lock compatibility means this power cord works with connectors that have a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection. The P-Lock feature keeps the male and female connectors firmly mated even in environments with vibration, movement, or accidental cable pulls. This reduces downtime from unintentional power interruptions and is particularly valuable in data centers, industrial settings, or any location where maintaining continuous power is critical.
Why is 12 AWG wire gauge important for power cords?
The 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification indicates thicker copper conductors that offer lower electrical resistance compared to thinner gauges. This allows for more efficient power transmission with reduced voltage drop over distance, which is crucial for maintaining equipment performance. The 12 AWG construction also supports the 20-amp current rating safely, making this cord suitable for powering equipment with substantial electrical requirements without overheating or performance degradation.
What is the difference between PVC and SJT jacket materials?
This power cord uses both Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Service Junior Thermoplastic (SJT) materials in its jacket construction. PVC provides durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors. The SJT rating specifically indicates suitability for hard service applications with good resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasion. Together, these materials create a robust jacket that withstands demanding conditions while maintaining flexibility for easier cable routing and management in confined spaces.
How does the 250V/20A rating affect equipment compatibility?
The 250-volt, 20-amp rating means this power cord can safely deliver up to 5,000 watts of power (250V × 20A = 5,000W) to connected equipment. This substantial power capacity makes it suitable for servers, UPS systems, power distribution units, and other equipment with high electrical requirements. The rating ensures the cord can handle the current demands of business IT equipment without overheating or creating safety concerns, providing reliable power delivery for critical systems.
What are the advantages of the 3-foot cord length?
The 3-foot (0.91 meter) length provides sufficient reach for most rack and equipment configurations while minimizing excess cable that can create clutter or airflow obstruction. This length allows flexible positioning of equipment within racks or on shelves while keeping cable management organized. The moderate length reduces voltage drop compared to longer cords while still offering practical installation flexibility in data centers, server rooms, and equipment cabinets where space optimization is important.
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.
