ACT PC3633 Powercord C19 IEC Lock to C20 IEC Lock Dual Locking Red 1m

The ACT PC3633 Powercord C19 IEC Lock to C20 IEC Lock Dual Locking Red 1m is a specialized power cable engineered to secure continuous power distribution in demanding IT environments. Featuring a 1-meter length, a C19 straight female coupler, and a C20 straight male coupler, this cable utilizes a robust dual-locking mechanism on both ends. Designed to prevent accidental disconnections, it provides reliable connectivity for servers, power distribution units, and critical networking hardware without requiring specialized PDU locking features.

Advantages

This power cord incorporates a universal locking system that engages securely at the top and sides, offering exceptional protection against vibration-induced pull-out or human error. By eliminating unintended power interruptions, it helps minimize the risk of equipment downtime and hardware damage in high-density rack setups. The bright red color allows for quick visual identification within complex cable management layouts, assisting technicians in tracing circuits and maintaining organized server rooms.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to power distribution units
• High-availability data center equipment
• Mission-critical networking switches and routers
• IT rack configurations requiring secure locking connections

When it may not be suitable

This power cord is not compatible with standard non-locking C19 or C20 inlets if a secure physical lock is not engaged, though it will still function as a standard power cable. It is also not suitable for household appliances or standard office environments that do not require high-amperage locking server cables.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector 1: C19 IEC Lock straight female coupler
• Connector 2: C20 IEC Lock dual locking straight male coupler
• Maximum input voltage: 250 V
• Maximum input current: 16 A
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm²
• Color: Red

How to use

To use the ACT power cord, insert the C19 IEC Lock connector into the corresponding inlet on your server or IT equipment until it clicks securely into place. Connect the C20 dual-locking end into the power distribution unit. The locking mechanism will engage automatically, securing the connection at the top and sides. To disconnect, simply pull the release mechanism on the locking housing to retract the internal latches safely.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment utilizes standard C19 and C20 power inlets
• Check that the 1-meter cable length is sufficient for the distance between your device and the power source
• Confirm that your power infrastructure supports the 16 A and 250 V electrical rating

Usage recommendations: Always inspect the locking mechanisms before installation to ensure debris-free operation. Route the 1-meter cable carefully within the rack management channels to maintain proper airflow and prevent excessive strain on the connectors.
