How to use

To use the power cord, ensure that the connected devices are powered off before installation. Insert the C14 coupler securely into a compatible power source such as a power distribution unit or a compatible output socket. Then, connect the C21 coupler firmly into the power input port of the target server or network switch. Verify that all connections are fully seated and that the electrical ratings of the equipment match the 250V and 10A limits of the cable before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the connector types on your hardware to ensure compatibility with C14 and C21 interfaces
• Check the electrical requirements of your device to ensure they do not exceed the 250V and 10A maximum load
• Measure the required distance between the power source and your equipment to confirm that the 1-meter length is sufficient

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the cable for any visible damage before installation and ensure that it is routed away from sharp edges or excessive heat sources to maintain optimal performance and safety in your IT infrastructure.
