Deployment / Use Cases
This cord is ideal for extending power connections in data centers, server rooms, and network closets where standard power cables fall short. It bridges gaps between PDUs and equipment racks, allowing flexible placement of UPS systems, server chassis, and switches without sacrificing power integrity.
Common applications include connecting a rack-mounted PDU to a server chassis, linking a UPS to a network switch, or providing a short extension for routers in tight spaces. The 2-foot length is optimized for neat cable management, reducing clutter while maintaining accessibility for maintenance.
Data Center Rack Integration
Use this cord to connect power distribution units to servers or switches within the same rack, ensuring clean and organized power routing.
UPS and Backup Power Extension
Extend connections from uninterruptible power supplies to critical network devices, maintaining backup power readiness without cable strain.
Localization and Operating System
This power extension cord is designed and certified for North American electrical systems, ensuring compatibility with standard power infrastructure across the United States and Canada. The 250V AC voltage rating and 20A current capacity align with common data center and server room requirements in the region, providing a reliable power extension solution for enterprise IT environments.
The cord features IEC 60320 C20 male to C19 female connectors, which are widely adopted in North American data centers for power distribution units (PDUs) and high-current equipment. This standardization simplifies integration with existing rack setups and reduces compatibility concerns during deployment. The product also complies with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, reflecting responsible environmental practices in its manufacturing and end-of-life disposal.
Localization extends to the cord's physical and operational characteristics. The 12-gauge wiring and heavy-duty construction meet North American safety standards for continuous high-power applications. The bright red color enhances visibility in crowded rack environments, aiding quick identification during maintenance or cable management tasks. Storage temperature ratings from -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) ensure the cord remains durable in typical North American climate conditions, from cold server rooms to warmer equipment areas.
North American Electrical Compliance
Engineered for 250V AC/20A power standards common in U.S. and Canadian data centers, with connectors that match regional PDU and server power interfaces.
Environmental and Safety Standards
