ACT Powercord C14 IEC Lock+ Dual Locking - C15 IEC Lock+ blue 1 m, PC3870

The ACT IEC Lock power cable provides a secure, dual-locking connection between equipment and power distribution units. One end features a C15 IEC Lock+ connector rated for high temperatures up to 120°C, while the PDU end uses a C14 IEC Lock+ Dual Locking connector that anchors at both the top and the side to reduce accidental disconnection. The universal locking mechanism is compatible with major PDU brands and requires no tools or special PDU fittings.

Advantages

The cable prevents unintended release at both the equipment and PDU ends, reducing the risk of downtime and equipment damage. It supports standard mains ratings for many IT and server environments and is available in colour for easy circuit identification. Installation is tool-free and the locking system works with PDUs that do not have their own integrated lock.

Suitable for

• Servers and rack-mounted equipment
• Network switches and routers in data centers
• Power distribution units (PDUs) in cabinets and racks
• Workstations and professional IT setups where secure power is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for equipment that accepts IEC C14/C15 style connectors; it is not suitable for devices with proprietary or non-IEC power inlets. It is rated to 10 A and 250 V, so it may not be appropriate for higher-current applications or regions with different mains standards.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connectors: IEC C14 Dual Locking (PDU side) to IEC C15 Lock+
• Maximum load: 10 A, 250 V~
• Temperature resistance (C15): up to 120 °C
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm²
• Colour: blue

How to use

Plug the IEC C15 Lock+ connector into the device inlet and insert the C14 Dual Locking connector into the PDU. Press until the locking mechanism engages; no tools are required. To remove, release the lock according to the connector’s unlocking motion and then withdraw the plug. Use the colour coding to match and identify power circuits in the rack.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your equipment accepts IEC C15 (device) and your PDU accepts IEC C14 (inlet).
• Confirm 10 A / 250 V rating is sufficient for your load.
• Check required cable length and colour-coding needs.

Recommendations

Use this ACT C14 IEC Lock+ to C15 IEC Lock+ cable in server racks and network cabinets where accidental disconnection must be minimised. Regularly inspect locks for debris and ensure locking engagement after installation to maintain secure power connections.
