FAQ
What devices is this power cord compatible with?
This Tripp Lite cable is designed for high-power IT equipment, including servers, routers, network switches, power distribution units (PDUs), and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Its C19 to C20 connector configuration is standard for devices requiring 15-amp, 230-volt connections in data center and server room environments.
What is the voltage and current rating of this extension cable?
The cable is rated for 230 volts AC and 15 amps. This specification supports equipment operating on 200-240V mains power, common in many regions worldwide, and ensures safe power delivery for devices drawing up to 15 amps under full load.
How long is the cord, and is it suitable for rack mounting?
The cord length is 3 feet (0.91 meters). This size provides practical flexibility for rack-mounted installations, allowing connections between PDUs and equipment without excessive slack. It helps maintain tidy cable management in standard 19-inch server racks or network cabinets.
What gauge are the conductors, and why does it matter?
The cable uses 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) conductors. A lower gauge number indicates thicker wires, which reduce electrical resistance and minimize voltage drop over distance. This is crucial for high-current applications like servers and UPS units, as it prevents overheating and ensures efficient power transmission.
Does this cable meet any environmental or safety standards?
Yes, the cable is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it restricts the use of specific hazardous materials. It also features a heavy-duty SJTW jacket for durability and safety in commercial settings, and it comes with a lifetime limited warranty for added reliability assurance.
Can I use this cable to extend an existing power cord for my UPS?
Yes, this extension cable is ideal for extending the reach between a UPS or PDU and connected equipment. Its C19 to C20 connectors match common high-power interfaces, ensuring a secure and compatible connection that maintains power integrity for critical devices during operation or backup scenarios.
