Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PDU power cord used for?
A PDU power cord connects high-output IT equipment such as blade servers, network switches, and routers to power distribution units (PDUs) or UPS systems. The C19 to P-Lock C20 configuration is specifically designed for secure, reliable power delivery in data centers and server rooms where equipment uptime is critical.
Why choose P-Lock C20 connectors?
The P-Lock C20 connector features a mechanical locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection during operation. This is essential in data center environments where unexpected power loss can cause equipment damage and service interruptions. The locking design provides peace of mind in high-density rack deployments.
Is 12 AWG sufficient for 20A applications?
Yes, 12 AWG copper conductors are rated for 20A continuous operation at 250V and meet industry standards for this amperage. The heavy-duty construction ensures minimal voltage drop and maximum reliability for demanding server and networking equipment in professional data center environments.
How many cords do I need for my server rack?
This six-pack provides flexibility for multiple equipment connections. Most blade server chassis or high-density racks benefit from having multiple PDU power cords on hand for redundancy, maintenance, and future expansion. The bulk pack reduces per-unit cost compared to individual cord purchases.
