Power cable Rittal SM IEC 60320 C13 to open end, 1.5 m, model 6450.060

Rittal SM power cable with an IEC 60320 C13 connector on one end and an open, unterminated other end. The 1.5 m length provides flexible placement for IT equipment, servers, switches and rack-mounted devices. The cable delivers standard IEC C13 mating for safe low-voltage AC power distribution while allowing direct wiring or termination at the installation side where a plug is not required.

Advantages

This power cable combines the compatibility of a standard IEC 60320 C13 connector with the flexibility of an open end for direct connection or custom termination. The 1.5 m length suits common rack and cabinet depths without excess slack. Constructed to meet typical safety and electrical requirements for low-voltage AC power distribution, the cable simplifies installations where a factory-fitted plug is not wanted or where hardwiring into a terminal block or distribution unit is needed.

Suitable for

• Servers and data centre rack-mounted equipment
• Network switches, routers and communication hardware
• Power distribution units and hardwired installations
• Custom cabling where one end must be terminated on-site

Key specifications

• Connector type (one end): IEC 60320 C13 mating connector
• Other end: open/unterminated conductors for direct wiring or terminal connection
• Length: 1.5 m
• Intended use: low-voltage AC power distribution for IT equipment
• Typical conductor arrangement: three-core mains cable (protective earth, neutral, live)

How to use

Insert the IEC C13 connector into compatible equipment inlet sockets until it seats securely. Terminate the open end conductors according to local electrical codes and the receiving equipment requirements, for example by connecting to a terminal block, hardwiring into a distribution unit, or fitting an appropriate plug or connector. Ensure that all terminations are correctly insulated and that the protective earth conductor is connected where required. Verify continuity and insulation before applying mains power.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable in installations where a pre-fitted IEC C13 is needed on the equipment side and a secure, code-compliant termination is performed on-site. Avoid routing near high-temperature surfaces, sharp edges or moving parts. Inspect the cable and terminations periodically for wear or damage and replace if insulation or conductors are compromised.
