ACT PC3873 Power Cord C14 IEC Lock to C15 IEC Lock Dual Locking Red 2 Meter 250V 10A

The ACT PC3873 Power Cord C14 IEC Lock to C15 IEC Lock Dual Locking Red 2 Meter 250V 10A is a reliable power cable designed to prevent accidental disconnections in professional IT environments. Featuring a dual locking mechanism on the C14 connector and a secure C15 connector, this 2-meter red cable ensures stable power delivery for critical servers, network hardware, and power distribution units.

Advantages

This power cord incorporates a universal locking system that engages securely at both ends without requiring specialized equipment or built-in PDU locks. The integrated locking mechanisms protect sensitive hardware from unexpected power loss, thereby reducing the risk of system downtime and physical damage. Additionally, the high-temperature resistance of the C15 connector supports demanding operating conditions up to 120 degrees Celsius, while the distinct red color allows for quick and easy visual identification within complex cable management setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to power distribution units in data centers
• Powering network switches and routers in server rooms
• High-temperature IT hardware environments requiring secure connections
• Professional setups needing protection against accidental cable unplugging

When it may not be suitable

This power cord is not designed for standard household appliances or devices that do not feature C14 or C15 receptacles. Furthermore, applications requiring cable lengths significantly longer or shorter than the standard 2-meter specification will need alternative solutions.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector one: IEC C14 straight male with dual locking mechanism
• Connector two: IEC C15 straight female
• Input voltage: 250 V
• Input current: 10 A
• Maximum load: 10A / 250V
• Conductor cross-section: 1 mm²
• Temperature resistance: up to 120°C on the C15 end
• Color: Red

How to use

To use the power cord, insert the C14 connector into the compatible power distribution unit outlet until the dual locking mechanism engages firmly. Next, connect the C15 end into the power inlet of the IT equipment. Ensure both ends are fully seated and locked in place. To disconnect, release the locking mechanism manually according to the connector design instructions before pulling the plug gently from the socket.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your IT equipment utilizes standard C14 and C15 power interfaces
• Check the electrical requirements to ensure they match the 250V and 10A rating
• Measure the distance between the power source and the device to ensure the 2-meter length is sufficient
• Assess your color-coding requirements for cable management within the rack

Usage recommendations: Routinely inspect the locking mechanisms and cable jacket for wear, and ensure that cables are routed without excessive bending or tension to maintain optimal performance and safety in professional installations.
