ACT Powercord C19 IEC Lock C20 red 2 m 16 A 230 V

The ACT Powercord C19 IEC Lock C20 red 2 m 16 A 230 V is a 2-metre power cable designed for reliable AC power delivery between devices with IEC C20 inlets and IEC C19 connectors. It supports up to 16 A at 230 V and features a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection. The cable is available with a red locking housing and standard black cable insulation, facilitating visual identification in rack or data center environments where secure connections are required.

Advantages

This power cord combines a secure locking IEC interface with a flexible 2 m length suitable for rack-mounted equipment and server cabinets. The IEC C19 to C20 connection supports higher current equipment compared with standard C13/C14 leads, while the lock reduces the risk of power interruptions due to loose plugs. The red connector housing improves visibility for cable management and service operations.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers, UPS units and power distribution units (PDUs) in data centers
• Powering high-current network and telecom equipment
• Use in server racks and cabinet installations where secure plug retention is required
• Applications that require clear cable identification by colour

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector 1: IEC C20 (inlet compatible side)
• Connector 2: IEC C19 (plug compatible side) with locking mechanism
• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 230 V AC
• Colour: Black cable with red connector housing

How to use

Insert the IEC C19 plug into the device's C19 inlet and engage the locking mechanism according to the device or PDU instructions to secure the connection. Connect the IEC C20 end to the matching outlet or power source. Ensure both ends are fully seated and the lock is activated before powering the equipment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain. Before installation, verify that the device's rated current and voltage match the cable's 16 A / 230 V specification.

Recommendations

Use this cable in indoor, dry environments and avoid exposure to liquids or direct sunlight. Do not exceed the rated current of 16 A and periodically inspect the connector and insulation for wear or damage. For critical systems, label both ends and document the connection in your rack or PDU layout to simplify maintenance and reduce downtime risk.
