User Manual
FAQ
What devices are compatible with this C19 to L6-20P power cord?
This power cord connects devices with C19 input connectors to L6-20P power outlets. It's commonly used with UPS systems, PDUs, server power supplies, and other high-power IT equipment that requires 20A 250V connections. The C19 connector typically interfaces with power distribution equipment, while the L6-20P plug connects to dedicated 20A outlets in data centers and commercial environments.
What is the advantage of 12 AWG gauge in this power cord?
The 12 AWG gauge provides thicker conductors that reduce electrical resistance over the 12-foot length, minimizing voltage drop and heat generation. This ensures more efficient power delivery to connected equipment, especially important for high-current applications up to 20A. Thicker gauge wire also enhances durability and safety in commercial environments where cables may experience physical stress.
Can this power cord be used in rack-mounted equipment installations?
Yes, this power cord is ideal for rack-mounted equipment installations. The 12-foot length provides sufficient reach for routing through cable management systems in server racks, while the industrial-grade connectors ensure secure connections in vibration-prone environments. The black color blends with most rack equipment, and the flexible yet durable construction accommodates tight bends without compromising performance.
What does the SJT rating mean for this power cord?
SJT indicates the cable has a heavy-duty jacket rated for 300 volts with extra mechanical protection. This rating means the power cord is suitable for commercial and industrial use where cables may experience abrasion, crushing, or environmental stressors. The SJT construction provides enhanced durability compared to standard household cords, making it appropriate for data centers, server rooms, and industrial settings.
Is this power cord RoHS compliant, and what does that mean?
Yes, this power cord is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant. This means it contains minimal levels of specific hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium as regulated by international environmental standards. RoHS compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility and ensures the cable can be used in regions with strict material restrictions, while also supporting sustainable electronics manufacturing practices.
What warranty coverage does this Tripp Lite power cord include?
This Tripp Lite power cord includes a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life, providing long-term assurance for business investments. The warranty reflects the product's durable construction and reliability in commercial applications, though specific terms may apply regarding proper use and installation conditions.
