Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PDU power cord used for?
A PDU power cord connects servers, computers, and network equipment to a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) in data centers and server rooms. The C13 to P-Lock C14 configuration allows secure extension of power connections while the locking mechanism prevents accidental unplugging during critical operations.
What does P-Lock C14 mean?
P-Lock is a locking connector variant of the standard IEC-320 C14 plug. The P-Lock design includes a mechanical locking feature that secures the connection to the PDU, reducing the risk of power loss from accidental disconnection in demanding rack and server environments.
Can I use this power cord with my UPS system?
Yes. The C13 to P-Lock C14 power cord is compatible with UPS systems, servers, monitors, and any equipment with a standard C13 inlet. The 15A 250V rating supports typical UPS and server power requirements, and the 3 ft length provides flexible positioning in rack installations.
Is this cable suitable for permanent installation?
Absolutely. The heavy-duty 14 AWG conductors, durable PVC jacket, and locking P-Lock connector make this PDU power cord ideal for permanent data center, server room, and rack installations where reliability and safety are critical.
