ACT Powercord C14 IEC Lock+ Dual Locking - C15 IEC Lock+ black 1 m, PC3868

The ACT IEC Lock power cable features a C14 Dual Locking IEC Lock+ connector on the PDU side and a C15 IEC Lock+ connector on the equipment side. The C14 side locks at both the top and the side to reduce the chance of accidental disconnection from the PDU, while the C15 connector is rated for high temperatures up to 120°C. The universal locking mechanism is compatible with major PDU brands and requires no tools or a built-in PDU lock. Available in black and in 1 m length, this power cord is intended for secure connections in IT environments.

Advantages

The dual-locking design secures the connection at the PDU and the equipment, minimizing accidental unplugging and related downtime. High-temperature resistance on the C15 connector allows safe use with equipment that may present higher inlet temperatures. The universal locking system works with most PDU brands without requiring additional hardware or tools, and the black color offers a discreet, standard look for racks and server rooms.

Suitable for

• Server racks and data center PDUs
• Network equipment and switches
• Laboratory equipment with C15 inlets
• Powering devices where accidental disconnection must be prevented

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for uses requiring current or voltage ratings above 10 A / 250 V~. It is also unsuitable when a longer cable length than 1 m is needed. For devices with non-IEC C14/C15 inlets or special proprietary connectors, this cable will not be compatible.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connectors: IEC C14 Dual Locking (male) to IEC C15 (female) with IEC Lock+
• Rated voltage/current: 250 V~, 10 A
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm²
• Temperature resistance (C15 connector): up to 120°C

How to use

Insert the IEC C15 connector into the equipment inlet and the C14 Dual Locking connector into the PDU outlet. Ensure the C14 locks engage at the top and side; no tools are required. To remove, press the unlocking mechanism on the C14 connector and pull the connectors straight out. Verify that the connectors are fully seated after installation to ensure secure power delivery.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the equipment inlet type is IEC C15 and the PDU outlet accepts IEC C14.
• Ensure 1 m cable length is sufficient for your rack or equipment layout.
• Confirm the 10 A / 250 V~ rating meets your device power requirements.

Recommendations

Use this power cord in rack-mounted and cabinet installations where secure locking is required; label or color-code cords in multi-cable environments if needed to simplify identification and maintenance.
