ACT Power Cord C14 to C21 IEC60320 Black 1.5 m 250V 10A

The ACT Power Cord C14 to C21 IEC60320 Black 1.5 m 250V 10A is a dependable electrical cable designed to connect various IT and server hardware components securely. Featuring a standard C14 coupler on one end and a high-temperature C21 coupler on the other, this power cord bridges the connection between power distribution units or standard infrastructure and high-performance networking equipment. Measuring 1.5 meters in length, it provides sufficient reach for standard rack configurations while maintaining a tidy cable management setup.

Advantages

This power cord offers a reliable solution for powering demanding hardware components in professional IT environments. The integrated C21 connector is specifically engineered to withstand elevated operating temperatures of up to 155 degrees Celsius, making it a safe choice for dense server racks and high-load networking devices. Built with standard-compliant copper wiring and durable outer insulation, the cable ensures consistent electrical flow and long-term mechanical durability under continuous operational conditions.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers from major brands like HP and Cisco to power sources
• Linking network switches and enterprise IT hardware within server racks
• Replacing worn or incompatible power cables in data center environments

This power cord is not suitable for household appliances, low-voltage consumer electronics, or standard wall outlet direct connections that require different plug geometries such as CEE 7/7 or regional mains plugs. It is strictly intended for specialized IT and networking hardware equipped with IEC60320 receptacles.

How to use

To use the ACT power cord, ensure that the connected devices are powered off before installation. Insert the C14 connector firmly into a compatible power distribution unit, uninterruptible power supply, or standard power source supplying up to 250V and 10A. Next, plug the C21 connector securely into the power input port of your server or network switch. Verify that both connectors are fully seated and that the cable is not subjected to excessive bending, pinching, or tension during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your server or network hardware features a C21 power inlet
• Check that your power distribution unit or wall-mounted power source provides a C14 output or compatible connection
• Confirm that the 1.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack layout
• Ensure your equipment operating requirements do not exceed the 250V and 10A electrical limits

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cable periodically for signs of physical wear, ensure proper ventilation around high-temperature components, and avoid coiling the excess cable tightly to prevent heat accumulation during continuous heavy loads.
