FAQ
What equipment is the HPE JL672A power cord compatible with?
The HPE JL672A power cord is compatible with any IT equipment that uses IEC 60320 C14 and C15 connectors. This includes most HPE servers like ProLiant models, HPE storage arrays, HPE networking switches, and many third-party servers, storage devices, and network hardware. It is also suitable for workstations, monitors, and other peripherals that accept C14 inlets.
What are the connector types on this power cord?
This cord has a 3-pin IEC 60320 C15 plug on one end and a 3-pin IEC 60320 C14 socket on the other end. The C15 connector is typically used for equipment that may generate heat, such as computing hardware, while the C14 connector connects to power sources like PDUs, UPS units, or wall outlets.
How long is the HPE JL672A power cord?
The HPE JL672A power cord has a total length of 8.2 feet (approximately 2.5 meters). This length provides practical reach for most rack, desk, or data center deployments without excessive cable slack that requires complex management.
Is this power cord grounded?
Yes, the HPE JL672A power cord features a 3-pin design that includes a grounding conductor. This ensures electrical safety by providing a path for fault currents, which is essential for protecting sensitive IT equipment and meeting safety standards in commercial and data center environments.
Can I use this cord with non-HPE equipment?
Yes, you can use this cord with any equipment that requires IEC 60320 C15 to C14 connectivity, regardless of brand. The IEC 60320 standard ensures interoperability, so this cord will work with servers, storage, networking gear, and other devices from manufacturers like Dell, Cisco, IBM, and more, as long as they use compatible C14 inlets.
Why choose an HPE-branded power cord over a generic one?
Choosing an HPE-branded power cord like the JL672A ensures that the cable meets HPE's quality and safety specifications, which can be important for warranty compliance and optimal performance with HPE equipment. It also guarantees proper connector fit, electrical ratings, and durability, reducing the risk of connection issues or electrical faults that could occur with uncertified generic cables.
