What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your hardware utilizes C20 and C21 IEC60320 receptacle types
• Check that your equipment operating voltage and current do not exceed 250V and 16A
• Measure the required distance between your power source and the device to ensure the 2.5-meter length is sufficient

Always verify the maximum power consumption of your IT hardware to ensure safe operation within the 16A and 250V limits, and utilize color-coding strategies to maintain an organized data center environment.
