ACT Powercord C14 IEC Lock+ Dual Locking - C15 IEC Lock+ black 2 m, PC3872

The ACT IEC Lock power cord model PC3872 is a 2 m AC cable with a Dual Locking C14 IEC Lock+ plug on the PDU side and a high-temperature resistant C15 IEC Lock+ connector for equipment. It is rated 250 V and 10 A and is designed to provide a secure connection for IT equipment, servers and power distribution units where prevention of accidental disconnection and a C15 high‑temperature interface are required.

Advantages

The dual locking design secures the cable at both ends without requiring tools or a special PDU-side mechanism. The C14 Dual Locking connector locks at the top and side for extra retention in the PDU, while the C15 connector withstands higher temperatures up to 120°C. Available in multiple colours for easy identification, the cable reduces the risk of accidental releases that can cause downtime or equipment damage.

Suitable for

• Servers and rack-mounted IT equipment that use an IEC C15 inlet
• Power distribution units (PDUs) in data centres and server rooms
• Network devices and critical infrastructure where a secured power connection is needed

When it may not be suitable

The cable is not suitable if a higher current or voltage rating is required than 10 A / 250 V. It is also not appropriate for applications that require different connector types (for example C13 or regional mains plugs) or where cable length other than 2 m is necessary.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Maximum load: 10 A, 250 V~
• Connectors: IEC C14 Dual Locking (male) to IEC C15 Lock+ (female)
• C15 connector temperature resistance: up to 120°C
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm²
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the IEC C15 Lock+ connector into the equipment inlet and push the IEC C14 Dual Locking plug into the PDU inlet until the locking mechanism engages. No tools or PDU-side modifications are required. To release the cable, operate the connector’s release mechanism as described by the lock’s instructions and withdraw the plug once the lock is disengaged.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify equipment inlet type — requires an IEC C15 inlet on the device
• Confirm that 2 m cable length and 10 A / 250 V rating suit your installation
• Ensure black colour and 1.0 mm² conductor meet your identification and electrical needs

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments where a secured connection is important; avoid exceeding the rated current and keep connectors free of dust and debris to ensure reliable locking and electrical contact.
