User Manual
FAQ
What devices are compatible with this power cord extension?
This cord is designed for power distribution units (PDUs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and computers that use IEC 60320 C13 connectors. The C14 end plugs into PDU or UPS outlets, while the C13 end connects to compatible equipment, making it suitable for servers, network switches, and other IT devices in data centers or office environments.
What is the maximum current and voltage this cord can handle?
The Tripp Lite P004-003-13A supports up to 13 amps (13A) of current and operates across 110-220 volts AC (110-220V AC). This range accommodates standard North American 110V systems and international 220V setups, providing flexibility for global deployments without requiring voltage converters or adapters.
How long is the cord, and is the length sufficient for typical setups?
This cord measures 3 feet (0.91 meters) in length, offering a practical extension for scenarios where equipment is slightly out of reach from power outlets. It is ideal for rack-mounted devices needing extra reach to PDUs, UPS units placed away from connected gear, or workstations requiring ergonomic positioning beyond standard cord limits.
Is this power cord UL listed and RoHS compliant?
Yes, this cord is UL listed, meaning it has undergone independent safety testing to meet stringent electrical standards. It is also RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, ensuring it adheres to environmental regulations by limiting hazardous materials in its construction, making it suitable for use in regions with strict environmental policies.
What warranty does Tripp Lite provide with this power cord?
