• Input current: 10A
• Conductor cross-section: 1 mm²
• C21 temperature resistance: up to 155°C
• Color: Blue

How to use

Verify that the equipment requires a C21 connection and that the power source or PDU provides a compatible C14 output supplying the correct voltage and current limits. Insert the C14 male coupler firmly into the power source and connect the C21 female coupler securely into the power input port of the target server or network switch. Ensure that the cable is routed safely without sharp bends or excessive tension to maintain optimal performance and longevity.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the power input requirements of your server or network device
• Confirm that your PDU or power source features a C14 output port
• Verify that the 3-meter length is appropriate for your rack layout
• Ensure the 250V and 10A ratings match your electrical infrastructure

Always inspect the cable for any physical damage before installation and ensure that total device power draw does not exceed the specified 10A limit.
