Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord meets rigorous electrical standards with a 125V AC voltage rating and 20A current capacity, suitable for powering high-demand PDUs in commercial and data center applications. The 12-gauge copper conductors minimize voltage drop and heat buildup over the cord's 9.8 ft (3 m) span, supporting consistent power delivery even under full load conditions.
Connector compatibility is precisely defined: the NEMA 5-20P plug interfaces with standard 125V/20A North American outlets, while the IEC C19 receptacle connects to PDUs designed for higher-power equipment. The three-pin configuration includes grounding for safety, and the lockable feature secures the connection against vibration or accidental pulls.

FAQ
What devices is this power cord designed to connect?
This cord is specifically designed to connect power distribution units (PDUs) to standard North American power outlets. It features a NEMA 5-20P plug for the outlet side and an IEC C19 receptacle for the PDU side, making it compatible with Server Technology and other PDUs that use IEC C19 inlets.
What are the electrical ratings of this power cord?
The cord is rated for 125 volts AC and 20 amps, with 12-gauge wiring to handle this current capacity efficiently. This rating ensures it can support the power demands of PDUs feeding multiple servers, switches, or storage devices without overheating or voltage drop issues.
How long is the cord, and why does length matter?
The cord is 9.8 feet (3 meters) long, a standard length that provides enough reach for typical rack installations while minimizing excess cable. This allows for clean routing in cable management systems and reduces clutter in data center environments.
What does 'lockable' mean for this power cord?
The lockable feature refers to connectors that can be secured in place to prevent accidental disconnection. This is critical in environments like server racks where vibration or movement could loosen plugs, ensuring uninterrupted power to connected PDUs and equipment.
Is this cord compatible with all PDUs?
This cord is compatible with PDUs that have an IEC C19 female inlet. It is commonly used with Server Technology PDUs and other brands that follow this standard. Always verify your PDU's input connector type before purchase to ensure compatibility.
What gauge is the wiring, and why is it important?
The cord uses 12-gauge wiring, which is thicker than standard household cords. This lower gauge reduces electrical resistance, minimizes voltage drop over the cord's length, and allows it to safely carry the full 20A current without overheating, essential for reliable power distribution.
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 125 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
