User Manual
FAQ
What are the connector types on this Tripp Lite power extension cord?
This extension cord features IEC 60320 C14 (male) and C13 (female) connectors. The C14 connector plugs into power distribution units (PDUs) or UPS systems, while the C13 connector accepts standard equipment power cords. This interface is common in server racks and data center environments for connecting IT equipment to power sources.
What is the maximum current and voltage rating for this power cable?
The Tripp Lite P005-003 is rated for 15 amps at 250 volts AC. This rating indicates the cable can safely carry up to 15 amps of continuous current at 250 volts, making it suitable for powering servers, networking equipment, and other IT devices that require substantial power delivery in data center environments.
How does the 14 AWG wire gauge benefit this extension cord?
The 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification indicates thicker conductors that offer lower electrical resistance compared to thinner gauges. This reduces voltage drop over the cable length, minimizes heat generation under load, and ensures efficient power transmission. The heavy-duty construction supports the full 15-amp rating while maintaining safety margins.
Is this power extension cord suitable for rack-mounted equipment?
Yes, this extension cord is ideal for rack-mounted installations. The 3-foot length provides practical reach for positioning equipment within server racks, while the C14 to C13 interface matches standard rack PDU configurations. The black color blends with rack environments, and the heavy-duty construction withstands the continuous operation typical of data center equipment.
What safety certifications does this Tripp Lite cable carry?
This power extension cord is UL listed, indicating it has undergone independent safety testing by Underwriters Laboratories. It is also RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it contains minimal levels of restricted materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium. These certifications ensure electrical safety and environmental responsibility in manufacturing.
What warranty coverage comes with this power extension cord?
Tripp Lite provides a lifetime limited warranty for the P005-003 power extension cord. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifetime, offering long-term assurance of durability and reliability.
