To use this power cord, ensure that the target device and the power source are powered off before making any connections. Insert the C14 coupler securely into the compatible output of your power distribution unit or uninterruptible power supply, and plug the C21 coupler firmly into the power input port of your server or network switch. Verify that both connectors are fully seated and that the cable is routed safely without sharp bends or pinching before restoring power to the equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware or server is equipped with a C21 power inlet
• Check that your power source or PDU provides a compatible C14 output
• Confirm that the electrical load does not exceed the 250V and 10A rating
• Measure the distance between the power source and the device to ensure the 2 m length is sufficient

Always inspect the power cord periodically for signs of wear or damage, and ensure that the operating environment remains within safe temperature limits to maintain optimal performance and safety in your server room.
