Product Features
Technical Overview
This power extension cord employs industry-standard IEC 60320 connectors: a C14 male plug on the source end and a locking C13 female receptacle on the device end. The 18AWG conductors support maximum current of 10 amps at 250 volts, suitable for North American power systems. The SJT-rated PVC jacket provides durability across a temperature range of -20°C to 105°C.
Compliance certifications include UL listing, TAA compliance, and environmental standards such as RoHS, REACH, and WEEE. The fully molded strain reliefs at both connectors enhance cable longevity by preventing wire fatigue at connection points.
Relevant factors for this section include First End Connector Type, First End Connector Detail, Second End Connector Type, Voltage Rating. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This power cord combines professional-grade construction with practical safety features for demanding IT applications. The locking C13 connector provides physical security that standard connectors lack, making it ideal for environments where accidental disconnection could cause downtime.
Enhanced Safety
UL-listed components and VW-1 fire-rated cable ensure compliance with electrical safety standards, while the locking mechanism prevents unintended disconnections.

Rackmount Extension
Extend PDU connections to servers and networking equipment in standard 19-inch racks where rear clearance is limited.
Workstation Power
Provide additional reach for desktop computers and peripherals in office setups where outlet placement requires flexible cabling.
Localization and Operating System
This power extension cord is localized for North American power systems, featuring IEC 60320 C14 and locking C13 connectors that align with standard power distribution units and equipment used throughout the region. The 250V 10A electrical rating matches common commercial and institutional voltage requirements, ensuring compatibility with PDUs, servers, workstations, and other IT devices operating on North American grids.
While the product does not include an operating system, its design focuses on physical and electrical compatibility rather than software integration. The localization extends to regulatory compliance, with UL listing for safety and TAA compliance for government procurement, making it suitable for deployments in data centers, office environments, and institutional settings across the United States and Canada where consistent power connectivity is essential.
