User Manual
FAQ
What devices is this power cable compatible with?
This cable is designed for servers and IT equipment that use standard IEC 60320 C13 inlets. The C14 connector plugs into power distribution units (PDUs), UPS systems, or compatible outlets, making it suitable for rack-mounted servers, network switches, and storage arrays in data centers or server rooms.
What is the maximum power capacity of this cable?
The Tripp Lite P005-010 is rated for 15 amps at 250 volts AC, supporting up to 3,750 watts under ideal conditions. The 14AWG wire gauge minimizes voltage drop over the 10-foot length, ensuring efficient power transfer for high-demand server applications without overheating.
How does the 10-foot length benefit server deployments?
The 10-foot (3.05-meter) length provides flexibility in rack layouts, allowing servers to be positioned further from PDUs or UPS units for better cable management and airflow. It accommodates vertical runs in tall racks or horizontal routing in dense configurations, reducing strain and clutter.
Is this cable safe for continuous use in data centers?
Yes, this cable is UL Listed and built with heavy-duty materials that withstand continuous operation in data center environments. The 14AWG construction and robust connectors handle high temperatures and mechanical stress, while RoHS compliance ensures it meets environmental safety standards for long-term use.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Tripp Lite's lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the cable's usable life, providing replacement or repair if issues arise. This warranty underscores the product's durability and reliability, reducing long-term costs for IT infrastructure power connections.
Can this cable be used with power strips or surge protectors?
Yes, if the power strip or surge protector has a C14 inlet, this cable can connect servers to those devices. However, ensure the strip's rating matches or exceeds the cable's 15A/250V capacity to avoid overloading. It's commonly used with PDUs and UPS systems in rack environments for organized power distribution.
