Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between C15 and P-Lock C14 connectors?
The C15 connector is the input end that connects to power distribution units or wall outlets, while the P-Lock C14 is the output connector that attaches to server equipment. The P-Lock design includes a locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection during operation, critical for uninterrupted power delivery in data centers.
Can I use these PDU power cords with standard C13 devices?
No, these cables are specifically designed for C15-to-P-Lock C14 connections. The C15 connector supports higher amperage (15A) than standard C13 connectors (10A), making them ideal for power-hungry network equipment. Using incompatible connectors may result in poor connections or equipment damage.
Why choose 14AWG over thinner gauge cables for server applications?
14AWG conductors provide superior current capacity and lower voltage drop over the 3-foot distance, ensuring stable power delivery to high-temperature devices like PoE switches. Thinner gauges (16AWG, 18AWG) risk overheating and potential equipment shutdown during peak load conditions.
Is the 6-piece pack suitable for small deployments?
Yes, the 6-piece pack is versatile for both small and large installations. For small deployments, it provides redundancy and future expansion capability. For enterprise rollouts, multiple packs can be ordered to equip entire rack systems efficiently.
