Frequently Asked Questions
What devices use C14 to C21 power connectors?
The C14 to C21 connector is commonly used for blade servers, high-power network switches, managed routers, and enterprise-grade PDU/UPS systems. This connector type supports high-amperage connections (15A+) required by power-hungry IT infrastructure equipment.
Is this power cord suitable for data center installations?
Yes. The Eaton Tripp Lite P037-005 is specifically designed for data centers and server rooms. Its 14 AWG conductors, 15A rating, and high-temperature jacket make it ideal for continuous operation in demanding IT environments where reliability is essential.
What is the difference between C14 and C21 connectors?
The C14 connector (input) is the male plug that connects to a PDU or UPS outlet, while the C21 connector (output) is the female receptacle that connects to a device's power inlet. This configuration allows the cord to bridge power distribution systems to high-power equipment.
Can I use this cord for continuous high-load applications?
Absolutely. The 14 AWG wire gauge and 15A 250V rating support sustained high-load operation. The heavy-duty construction and high-temperature rating ensure reliable performance in continuous-duty server and network environments without overheating or voltage degradation.
