Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between C19 and C20 connectors?
The C19 connector is the female inlet typically found on server power supplies and PDU outlets, while the C20 is the male plug that connects to power sources. The P-Lock variant features a locking mechanism that securely holds the connection, preventing accidental disconnection in data centers.
Is this PDU power cord suitable for blade servers?
Yes, the P036-E04 is specifically designed for blade servers and high-density network equipment. The 20A 250V rating and 12 AWG conductors provide the robust power delivery required for enterprise-class servers in rack environments.
What does 12 AWG mean for power cord performance?
12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates a heavy-duty conductor size that minimizes voltage drop and heat generation over the 4 ft length. This ensures stable power delivery to critical IT equipment and reduces the risk of power-related failures.
Can I use this heavy-duty power cord in a standard server rack?
Absolutely. The 4 ft length and standard IEC connectors make this PDU power cord compatible with most data center PDUs and server configurations. The locking C20 connector ensures a secure fit in any standard rack installation.
