ACT Powercord C13 IEC Lock - C14 Red 2 m PC1386 230 V 10 A

The ACT Powercord C13 IEC Lock - C14 red 2 m PC1386 is a reliable power cable designed to ensure secure power delivery in professional and office environments. Featuring a C14 coupler on one end and a C13 coupler with an integrated IEC Lock mechanism on the other, this 2-meter cable prevents accidental disconnections of critical hardware. It operates at an input voltage of 230 V with an input current of 10 A, providing a stable connection for servers, PDUs, and other essential network equipment.

Advantages

This power cord incorporates a specialized locking mechanism that protects against accidental unplugging caused by vibrations or human error, thereby minimizing the risk of unexpected system downtime and equipment damage. The locking system is engineered to be universally compatible with all known brands of equipment inlets. With its distinct red color, it allows for easy visual identification within dense cable management setups, helping technicians quickly locate critical circuits.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to power distribution units
• Powering network switches and routers in data centers
• Securing power supplies in professional office IT environments
• Critical hardware setups requiring uninterrupted power delivery

When it may not be suitable

This power cord may not be suitable for standard consumer electronics that lack compatible IEC C14 inlets or do not require locking retention mechanisms. Additionally, it should not be used in applications exceeding the maximum load specifications of 250V and 10A.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector 1: C14 coupler straight male
• Connector 2: C13 coupler straight female with IEC Lock
• Input voltage: 230 V
• Maximum load: 250 V / 10 A
• Input current: 10 A
• Color: Red

How to use

To use the power cord, connect the C14 end to a compatible power source such as a PDU or uninterruptible power supply. Insert the C13 IEC Lock end into the power inlet of the target device until the locking mechanism engages automatically. To disconnect the cable, pull the sliding release mechanism on the C13 connector to release the internal latch before pulling the plug away from the device.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment utilizes standard C13 and C14 IEC connections
• Check that the 2-meter length is sufficient for your cable routing path
• Ensure your equipment operating requirements do not exceed the 10A current limit

For optimal reliability and safety, always inspect the cable for any physical wear before installation and ensure that the locking mechanism is fully engaged during setup to prevent accidental power loss.
