ACT Power Cord C19 IEC Lock to C20 IEC Lock Dual Locking Blue 3 m PC3642 250V 16A

The ACT Power Cord C19 IEC Lock to C20 IEC Lock Dual Locking Blue 3 m PC3642 is a high-reliability power cable designed to secure connections in professional IT and server environments. Featuring dual locking connectors on both ends, this 3-meter blue cable prevents accidental disconnections and minimizes the risk of downtime or equipment damage in critical setups.

Advantages

This power cord provides enhanced security for power delivery by utilizing a universal locking mechanism that requires no special tools and operates independently of the PDU's own features. The C19 and C20 connectors lock securely to prevent unintended unplugging caused by vibrations or accidental pulls. Its bright blue color allows for quick visual identification within dense cable management systems, helping administrators maintain organized and efficient server racks.

Suitable for

• Data center server racks
• Mission-critical IT hardware
• Power distribution units (PDUs)
• Network switches and routers
• High-availability enterprise systems

This cable may not be suitable for standard household appliances or office electronics that do not utilize C19 and C20 interface connections. Additionally, it is unnecessary for environments where equipment mobility is frequent and quick manual disconnection is regularly required without the need for secure locking features.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment and power distribution units feature compatible C19 and C20 ports
• Confirm the required cable length for your specific rack layout and equipment placement
• Check your system's electrical load requirements to ensure they match the 250V and 16A rating

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the locking mechanisms and cable jacket for wear, especially in high-density installations. Ensure that cables are routed neatly without excessive tension to maintain optimal performance and longevity in professional server environments.
