FAQ
What devices are compatible with this power cord?
This cord connects equipment with IEC320C13 female power inlets to power sources with IEC320C14 outlets. It's specifically designed for power distribution units (PDUs), network switches, servers, and other rack-mounted equipment that uses standard IEC320C13 power connectors. The 250V AC 15A rating makes it suitable for most data center and server room applications.
What is the advantage of 14AWG wiring compared to thinner gauges?
14AWG wiring has thicker copper conductors than common 18AWG cords, providing lower electrical resistance and better current carrying capacity. This reduces voltage drop over the cord's length, minimizes heat generation, and ensures more stable power delivery to connected equipment. The heavier gauge is particularly beneficial for high-current applications and longer cable runs.
Why is the cord colored yellow?
The bright yellow color provides high visibility in crowded server racks and network cabinets, making power connections easily identifiable during installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. This color coding helps technicians quickly distinguish power cables from data cables, reduces connection errors, and supports organized cable management practices in professional IT environments.
What environmental standards does this cord meet?
This power cord complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations. These standards restrict specific hazardous materials in electrical equipment, ensuring the cord meets environmental safety requirements for use in commercial and data center applications across regulated markets.
What warranty coverage is provided?
The C2G 17550 power cord comes with a 3-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, providing assurance of product quality and reliability for professional deployments. The warranty terms are consistent with industrial-grade power accessories designed for continuous operation.
Is this cord suitable for international voltage standards?
With a 250V AC rating, this cord supports common voltage ranges used in North American 120V/240V systems as well as international 230V/240V standards. The 15A current rating provides sufficient capacity for most server and networking equipment worldwide. However, users should verify their specific equipment requirements and local electrical codes before deployment.
