Power Cord ACT C20–C21 IEC60320 red 1.5 m, 250 V 16 A

The ACT power cord with IEC60320 C20 to C21 connectors is a red 1.5 m cable designed to deliver up to 250 V and 16 A to compatible high-power equipment. It provides a robust connection between devices with a C20 inlet and equipment using a C21 coupler, with the C21 connector rated for high-temperature resistance up to 155°C. The cable is intended for professional power distribution in data centre racks, network cabinets and server rooms.

Advantages

The cable supports a maximum load of 250 V~/16 A and includes a high-temperature resistant C21 connector rated to 155°C, offering reliable performance for high-power IT equipment. Its 1.5 m length and clear red colour make routing and identification in racks and cabinets straightforward. Constructed with 1 mm² conductor cross-section, it is suitable for stable, continuous power delivery to servers and network devices.

Suitable for

• Rack-mounted servers and blade servers
• Network switches and routers from common brands such as HP and Cisco
• UPS units and professional power distribution modules in data centres
• Equipment requiring IEC60320 C21 connection and a C20 inlet

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for consumer appliances that use different mains plugs or lower current ratings. It is also not suitable when a longer or shorter cable length is required, or when a different connector type (for example C13/C14 or country-specific mains plug) is needed.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: IEC60320 C20 (male) to C21 (female)
• Rated voltage and current: 250 V~, 16 A
• C21 connector temperature rating: up to 155°C

How to use

Connect the C20 end to the equipment or power distribution unit with a matching C20 inlet and insert the C21 coupler into the device requiring the C21 connection. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the cable is routed without excessive bends or tension. Verify the power rating of connected equipment matches the cable's 250 V~/16 A capacity before applying power.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that both the source and target devices use IEC60320 C20 and C21 connectors respectively
• Verify that 1.5 m length and red colour meet your installation and identification needs
• Ensure the 250 V~/16 A rating and 1.0 mm² conductor are suitable for your equipment's power draw

Usage recommendations

Use this ACT C20–C21 power cord in server racks and professional power distribution setups where short, clearly identified connections are needed. Avoid routing near sharp edges, heat sources, or high-traffic areas and replace the cable if any insulation damage or connector deformation is observed.
