Powercord ACT C14 Lock+ to C15 Lock+ blue 2 m — 250V 10A (model PC3874)

The ACT IEC Lock power cable provides locking at both ends with a C15 IEC Lock+ connector on the equipment side and a C14 IEC Lock+ Dual Locking connector on the PDU side. The C14 locks at the top and side to reduce the chance of accidental disconnection from the PDU. The C15 connector is high-temperature resistant up to 120°C. The locking mechanism is universal and works with major PDU brands without requiring a PDU-mounted lock or special tools. The cable is available in blue for easy identification and is suitable for rack and data centre installations where reliable power connections are essential.

Advantages

The dual-locking design secures the connection at both the equipment and PDU ends, minimising the risk of accidental release and associated downtime. The universal locking mechanism fits most PDUs without modifications, and the C15 high-temperature rating ensures safe use with equipment that may generate elevated heat. A visible blue colour aids quick identification in crowded racks.

Suitable for

• Servers and blade chassis
• UPS units and power distribution units (PDUs)
• Network switches and routers in racks
• Professional IT and telecom equipment requiring secured power connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for applications that require ratings above 10 A or voltages higher than 250 V. It is also unsuitable where a non-locking standard mains lead is preferred for frequent unplugging or where a different connector type is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your equipment uses IEC C15 inlets and your PDU accepts IEC C14 outlets.

• Decide if a locking cable is appropriate for your maintenance and access procedures.

Usage recommendations

Use this ACT C14 Lock+ to C15 Lock+ 2 m cable in rack-mounted or enclosed environments where accidental disconnection could cause service interruptions; label or colour-code connections as part of rack management to speed identification and maintenance.
