The ACT Powercord C14 to C15 white 1.5 m AK5388 power cord is compared with similar ACT power cables, including colored variants (red, blue, black, green) of the ACT Power Cord C14 to C15 (1.5 m), as well as the angled version Powercord ACT C14 to C15 (angled left) 1.2 m. All these cables are designed for connecting server and networking equipment requiring IEC C14 and C15 connectors for high-temperature operations. The main differences lie in insulation color, cable length, and the presence of an angled connector, which affects cable routing convenience in server racks and visual identification.

| Connector type | IEC C14 — IEC C15 | IEC C14 — IEC C15 | IEC C14 — IEC C15 | IEC C14 — IEC C15 (angled left) | IEC C14 — IEC C15 | IEC C14 — IEC C15 | All cables support standard C15 high-temperature connections, but the left-angled model is convenient for confined spaces. |
| Cable length | 1.5 m | 1.5 m | 1.5 m | 1.2 m | 1.5 m | 1.5 m | The 1.5-meter length is standard and versatile for most server racks, while 1.2 meters suits compact setups better. |
| Cable color | White | Red | Blue | Black (standard) | Black | Green | Color options (white, red, blue, green, black) are used for visual identification of power lines in data centers. |
| Electrical ratings | 250 V / 10 A | 250 V / 10 A | 250 V / 10 A | 250 V / 10 A | 250 V / 10 A | 250 V / 10 A | All reviewed models are rated for the same maximum load, ensuring safe power delivery for professional hardware. |
◎ Evaluation of use cases and buyer needs to select the most suitable power cable variant.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Power line labeling in server racks | ACT Powercord C14 to C15 white 1.5 m AK5388 | The white cable color is ideal for visually separating power lines or maintaining aesthetic organization in open setups. |
| Color zoning and redundancy | ACT Power Cord C14 to C15, 1.5 m, Red / Blue / Green | Different colors help engineers quickly distinguish independent power lines and redundant feeds in data centers. |
| Connection in tight spaces | Powercord ACT C14 to C15 (angled left) 1.2 m | The C15 angled connector allows equipment to be connected close to the rear walls of cabinets and prevents cable bends. |
| Standard server connection | ACT Power Cord IEC C14 to C15, 1.5 m, 250V, 10A, Black | The classic black color serves as a universal solution for most standard server racks and patch cabinets. |
The ACT Powercord C14 to C15 white 1.5 m AK5388 cable is technically identical to most standard black and colored alternatives from ACT in length and electrical specifications, but stands out with its white insulation color. Choose this model if you need a white cable for visual power line identification or aesthetic hardware setup, whereas standard black or colored equivalents are better suited for concealed installations.
