ACT Power Cord C19 to C20 IEC Lock Dual Locking Blue 1 m PC3634

The ACT Power Cord C19 to C20 IEC Lock Dual Locking Blue 1 m is a specialized power cable engineered to secure reliable electrical connections in demanding professional IT environments. Featuring a C19 coupler on one end and a C20 dual locking connector on the other, this 1-meter blue cable provides a robust locking mechanism at both connection points to prevent accidental disconnections. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into server racks and data center setups, ensuring continuous uptime and protecting critical hardware from power interruptions.

Advantages

This power cord incorporates an innovative dual locking system that firmly grips standard equipment inlets and power distribution units without requiring specialized sockets or additional installation tools. The universal locking mechanism engages securely at the top and sides, offering exceptional resistance against accidental pulls, vibrations, and human error. By eliminating loose connections, the cable significantly reduces the risk of equipment damage, unexpected system downtime, and data loss in mission-critical applications. Additionally, the distinct blue color aids in quick visual identification and cable management within dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to power distribution units in data centers
• Powering enterprise network equipment and switches
• High-availability server rack configurations
• Professional IT environments requiring secure power delivery
