Powercord ACT C20–C21 IEC60320 blue 2 m, 16 A, 250 V

ACT Powercord C20–C21 is a blue IEC60320 power cable designed for connecting high‑power IT and industrial equipment. The cable is 2 m long, rated for 16 A and 250 V, and uses a straight C20 (male) to C21 (female) connector configuration. The C21 connector is high‑temperature resistant up to 155°C, making the cable suitable for servers, PDUs and other rack or cabinet devices that accept IEC C20/C21 inlets.

Advantages

The cable provides a standard IEC60320 C20–C21 connection compatible with many servers and network devices. Its 2 m length offers flexibility in rack and data‑centre layouts while the 16 A/250 V rating supports typical power requirements for mid‑to‑high power equipment. The C21 high‑temperature rating (up to 155°C) increases safety in warmer operating environments. The blue jacket helps with visual identification in cabling bundles.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers and rack equipment that use IEC C20/C21 inlets
• Powering PDUs and network switches in data centres
• Industrial equipment with IEC60320 C20/C21 connectors

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for equipment requiring other inlet types (for example C13/C14, C19/C20 or non‑IEC mains connectors) or for installations that need higher current capacity than 16 A. It should not be used where a different voltage rating or national plug format is required.

How to use

Check that both the equipment inlet and the power source accept a C20/C21 IEC connection and that the 16 A/250 V rating matches your power requirements. Insert the C20 (male) end into the power source or PDU and the C21 (female) end into the equipment inlet until firmly seated. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and heat sources; secure as needed to prevent strain on connectors. Inspect regularly for wear or damage, and replace the cable if insulation or conductors are compromised.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your equipment uses IEC C20 (male inlet) and C21 (female inlet) compatibility
• Confirm 16 A and 250 V are suitable for your devices and local power system
• Decide if 2 m length and blue colour meet your rack layout and identification needs

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in ventilated racks and away from direct heat sources; avoid bundling multiple power cables tightly to prevent temperature rise. Replace the cable immediately if any signs of overheating, cracking or connector damage appear.
