Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PDU power cord used for?
A PDU power cord connects high-power IT equipment such as blade servers, network switches, and UPS systems to power distribution units. The C19 inlet plugs into PDU outlets, while the P-Lock C20 connector secures to the device, preventing accidental disconnection during operation.
Why choose P-Lock C20 connectors?
The P-Lock C20 connector features a mechanical locking mechanism that holds the connection firmly in place. This is critical in data centers where vibration, cable movement, or accidental tugging could cause power loss. The locking design ensures mission-critical equipment remains powered.
Is 3 ft the right length for my setup?
The 3 ft length is ideal for connecting PDUs to nearby equipment without excessive cable slack. If you need longer runs, consider combining multiple cords or using extension cables. For shorter distances, this length provides flexibility without creating cable management issues.
Can I use these cords with any PDU?
Yes, these cords are compatible with any standard PDU featuring IEC-320-C19 outlets. The 20A 250V rating makes them suitable for most enterprise PDU systems. Always verify your PDU's connector type and amperage rating before purchase.
