Power Cable VERKADA HARDWARE ACC-PWR-CBL-NA — IEC 60320 C13 to Type B (S), 2 m, for North America

Power Cable VERKADA HARDWARE ACC-PWR-CBL-NA is a 2 m AC power lead with an IEC 60320 C13 female connector and a North America Type B (S) three-pin plug. It is intended to provide mains power to devices equipped with a C13 inlet, such as network appliances, security hardware, computers, monitors and other equipment commonly used in office and data centre environments. The cable length and connector types match North American power outlet configurations.

Advantages

This power cable supports standard 3-pin grounding via the Type B (S) plug and mates with IEC 60320 C13 inlets, offering a widely compatible solution for powering racks, standalone devices and peripherals. The 2 m length provides flexibility for typical installations while avoiding excessive cable slack. The cable is designed for straightforward replacement or spare use, enabling quick swapping without modifying existing equipment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Supplying AC power to servers, switches and network appliances with C13 inlets
• Powering desktop computers, monitors and workstations in North American installations
• Replacing worn or lost power cords for compatible devices
• Use as a spare cable for IT maintenance and field service kits

When it may not be suitable

This cable is configured specifically for North American mains with a Type B (S) plug and will not fit outlets in regions using different plug standards without an adapter. It is intended for devices with a standard IEC 60320 C13 inlet; it is not compatible with equipment requiring other connector types, such as C5, C7, or IEC C19, or with specialized high-current or medical-grade power cords.

Key specifications

• Connector A: IEC 60320 C13 (female)
• Connector B: North America Type B (S) three-pin plug
• Length: 2 m
• Safety grounding: yes (ground pin present)
• Intended use: AC mains power for devices with C13 inlet

How to use

Ensure the device to be powered has a compatible IEC 60320 C13 inlet and that the local mains voltage and frequency match the device specifications. Insert the C13 connector into the device inlet until it seats securely. Plug the Type B (S) end into a properly rated and grounded North American wall outlet or power distribution unit. Avoid routing the cable where it can be pinched or tripped over and keep it away from heat sources. Disconnect power by removing the plug from the outlet before servicing connected equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your equipment has an IEC 60320 C13 inlet
• Confirm mains plug type and local outlet compatibility (North America Type B)
• Check required cable length and routing needs—2 m length
• Ensure device power ratings (voltage/current) are within safe limits for standard C13 cabling

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable with properly grounded outlets and avoid physical damage. Replace any cable that shows signs of wear, exposed conductors, overheating, or connector damage. For rack installations, secure excess cable to prevent strain on connectors and maintain clear airflow around powered equipment.
