ACT Power Cord with C19 IEC Lock and C20 IEC Lock Dual Locking Black 2 m PC3636

The ACT Power Cord with C19 IEC Lock and C20 IEC Lock Dual Locking Black 2 m is a reliable power connection solution designed specifically for professional IT environments, data centers, and server rooms. Measuring 2 meters in length, this black power cord features an integrated dual locking mechanism on both ends, utilizing a C19 coupler and a C20 coupler. This ensures a secure attachment to both your IT hardware and power distribution units, preventing unexpected power interruptions.

Advantages

This power cord provides enhanced security for mission-critical hardware by actively preventing accidental disconnections caused by vibrations, cable tugs, or routine maintenance. The universal locking mechanism engages securely without requiring specialized tools or a specific brand of power distribution unit, functioning reliably across standard equipment. By maintaining a firm and uninterrupted connection, it significantly minimizes the risk of unexpected hardware downtime, data loss, and physical damage to ports. The robust 1.5 mm² construction supports demanding electrical loads while maintaining operational stability in high-density rack setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting high-end servers to power distribution units in data centers
• Powering enterprise network switches and routers
• Ensuring secure power delivery to critical rack-mounted IT hardware
• Environments prone to accidental cable disconnections or vibrations

When it may not be suitable

This power cord is not designed for standard consumer electronics or household appliances that do not utilize C19 and C20 connections. It may also be unnecessary for non-critical office setups where accidental cable disconnections pose no risk to data integrity or continuous operation.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector 1: C19 coupler straight female with IEC Lock
• Connector 2: C20 coupler straight male with dual locking
• Input voltage: 250 V
• Input current: 16 A
• Core cross-section: 1.5 mm²

How to use

To use the power cord, firmly insert the C19 connector into the power input of your IT equipment and the C20 connector into the power distribution unit. The integrated locking mechanisms will engage automatically upon insertion, securing the cable at both ends. To disconnect, release the locking mechanism manually according to the connector design, ensuring a controlled and safe removal without pulling directly on the cable wire.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment utilizes C19 and C20 connection ports
• Check that your power source supplies the appropriate voltage and current ratings up to 250 V and 16 A
• Measure the required distance between your hardware and power source to ensure the 2-meter length is sufficient

Usage recommendations: Inspect the locking mechanisms periodically to ensure proper engagement and check the cable length routing to avoid excessive tension or sharp bends near the connectors.
