The ACT AK5364 Powercord C20 to C21 IEC60320 Red 3m is a reliable power cable designed specifically for demanding server and networking environments. This red 3-meter cord ensures safe and efficient power transmission for high-power IT equipment and professional hardware setups, helping to maintain organized and easily identifiable connections in dense rack installations.

Advantages

This power cord provides a robust connection between professional hardware components. The integrated C21 connector is engineered to withstand high temperatures of up to 155 degrees Celsius, making it exceptionally well-suited for intensive data center operations where thermal resilience is critical. The distinctive red color allows for quick visual identification, simplifying cable management and reducing the risk of accidental disconnections in complex setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers from major brands like HP and Cisco
• Powering network switches and professional IT hardware
• High-power server room and data center installations

When it may not be suitable

This power cable is not suitable for standard consumer electronics or household appliances that utilize conventional wall outlets or standard plugs, as it features specialized IEC connectors intended exclusively for professional IT hardware. Additionally, it may not be appropriate for applications requiring a reach longer than 3 meters without the use of proper power distribution units.

• Connector 2: C21 coupler, straight female
• Input voltage: 250 V
• Input current: 16 A
• Maximum temperature resistance: up to 155°C for the C21 connector
• Conductor cross-section: 1 mm²
• Colour: red

How to use

Ensure that all connected devices are powered off before installation. Insert the C20 connector of the ACT AK5364 power cord into a compatible power source, such as a PDU or UPS with a C19 or C20 output. Then, connect the C21 end firmly into the power inlet of the target server, switch, or other high-power IT equipment. Verify that both connections are secure and properly seated before restoring power to the hardware.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking equipment or server features matching C20 and C21 IEC60320 interfaces
• Check the power requirements of your hardware to ensure compatibility with the 250V and 16A electrical ratings
• Measure the distance between your power source and devices to confirm that the 3-meter length is sufficient

Always verify the electrical load requirements of your IT hardware and consult professional guidelines when managing high-density server power distribution.
