FAQ
What devices is this power cord compatible with?
This C2G power cord is designed for power distribution units (PDUs), network switches, and servers that feature IEC320C19 female input connectors. It connects to power sources with IEC320C20 male outlets, making it ideal for data center and server room environments where standardized power connections are required.
What are the electrical specifications of this power cord?
The cord is rated for 250 volts AC at 20 amps continuous operation. The 12AWG wire gauge ensures it can handle this high-current load with minimal voltage drop over its 4-foot length. These specifications make it suitable for powering enterprise-grade equipment that demands stable, high-capacity electrical supply.
How long is the power cord?
This power cord measures 4 feet (1.22 meters) from end to end. This length provides sufficient reach for typical rack installations while keeping cable management tidy. The standardized length works well in most data center configurations where equipment is mounted in adjacent rack units.
What environmental standards does this product meet?
This C2G power cord complies with both RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. These standards ensure the product excludes harmful materials like lead, mercury, and certain chemicals while maintaining electrical performance and durability.
What warranty comes with this power cord?
C2G provides a 3-year limited warranty for this power cord. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, giving you confidence in the product's reliability for critical power distribution applications in business IT environments.
