ACT Powercord C20 to C21 IEC60320 1 m Black Cable 250V 16A

The ACT Powercord C20 to C21 IEC60320 1 m Black Cable 250V 16A is a reliable power transmission solution designed specifically for demanding professional environments. With a 1-meter length, this power cable features an IEC60320 C20 coupler on one end and an IEC60320 C21 coupler on the other, making it an essential component for linking high-power hardware. Built to support an input voltage of 250V and an input current of 16A, it ensures stable and safe energy delivery for heavy-duty technical setups.

Advantages

This power cord offers exceptional durability and thermal resistance for critical infrastructure. The integrated C21 connector is engineered to withstand high temperatures of up to 155°C, ensuring reliable operation even under heavy electrical loads and continuous performance demands. Its robust construction with a 2.5 mm² wire cross-section guarantees efficient and secure power distribution, minimizing the risk of overheating in dense server rack environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting professional IT hardware and servers
• Powering high-power data center equipment
• Linking network switches from major brands such as HP and Cisco

This cable is not suitable for standard household appliances, office peripherals, or standard wall outlets due to its specialized industrial connectors which require compatible C20 power distribution units or enterprise-grade power sources.

To use the cable correctly, ensure that both the power source and the connected device are equipped with matching IEC60320 C20 and C21 interfaces. Insert the C20 connector securely into the power distribution unit or source, and plug the C21 connector firmly into the inlet of the target hardware until fully seated. Always verify that the electrical ratings of your equipment match the cable specifications before powering on the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your hardware requires C20 to C21 connections rather than standard C13 or C19 plugs
• Check the required cable length to ensure the 1-meter specification fits your rack layout
• Confirm that your power source supports 250V and 16A electrical parameters

Always inspect the cable for any visible damage before installation and ensure proper cable management in server racks to maintain adequate airflow and prevent mechanical strain on the connectors.
