Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord is defined by its specific electrical and physical parameters. The C19 connector is a high-current IEC 60320 inlet commonly found on enterprise servers, UPS units, and rack PDUs, while the 5-20P plug connects to standard 125V, 20A North American outlets. The 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating indicates a thicker conductor capable of safely carrying up to 20 amps, reducing resistance and heat buildup compared to lighter gauge cables.
The 10-foot (3.05-meter) length provides flexible placement options for equipment that cannot be positioned directly next to a power source. This cable is RoHS compliant, adhering to environmental standards by restricting hazardous substances. Its construction is tailored for continuous operation in commercial settings, ensuring consistent performance for connected critical loads.
Relevant factors for this section include Voltage Rating, Cord Length, Color Family, Product Color. 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.

FAQ
What devices typically use a C19 to 5-20P power cord like the P049-010?
This cable is commonly used with enterprise IT equipment such as rack-mounted servers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, and power distribution units (PDUs) that feature a C19 power inlet. It connects these devices to standard 125V, 20A North American outlets (NEMA 5-20P), making it essential for data centers, server rooms, and commercial installations where high-current power delivery is required.
What is the significance of the 12 AWG wire gauge on this power cord?
The 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates a thicker conductor compared to lighter gauges like 14 or 16 AWG. This allows the cable to safely carry up to 20 amps of current with lower electrical resistance, reducing voltage drop and heat generation over its 10-foot length. It ensures efficient power transmission and enhances safety for connected high-power devices.
How long is the Tripp Lite P049-010 power cord, and why does length matter?
The cord is 10 feet long, which is approximately 3.05 meters. This length provides flexibility in equipment placement, allowing devices to be positioned further from power outlets without requiring additional extension cords. It helps reduce cable tension, improves cable management in racks, and accommodates various room layouts, which is crucial for organized and safe IT installations.
What voltage rating does this power cord support, and is it suitable for standard outlets?
This cable is rated for 125 volts AC (V AC), which aligns with standard residential and commercial power in North America. The 5-20P plug is designed for NEMA 5-20R outlets, commonly found in buildings for 20-amp circuits. It ensures compatibility with typical power infrastructure, making it a reliable choice for connecting IT equipment to available wall sockets.
Does the Tripp Lite P049-010 come with a warranty?
Yes, this power cord includes a lifetime limited warranty from Tripp Lite.
