Frequently Asked Questions
What devices use C14 to C21 power cords?
C14 to C21 power cords connect PDU and UPS systems to high-power IT equipment including blade servers, network switches, large routers, and enterprise network devices that require 15A or higher power delivery in data center and server room environments.
Is this heavy-duty power cord suitable for server rack installations?
Yes. The Eaton Tripp Lite heavy-duty power cord is specifically designed for server rack and cabinet applications, with a 2.5 ft. length that provides optimal flexibility for PDU-to-device connections while maintaining safe cable management in confined spaces.
What is the difference between C14 and C21 connectors?
The C14 connector (input) plugs into a PDU or UPS outlet, while the C21 connector (output) connects to devices with C22 inlets. This configuration allows power distribution from centralized UPS/PDU systems to multiple high-capacity network and server devices.
Can I use this power cord for non-server applications?
While designed for IT infrastructure, this 15A 250V power cord can support any device with a C22 inlet requiring heavy-duty power delivery, including industrial equipment, medical devices, and laboratory instruments rated for these specifications.
