InLine Power adapter cable, IEC-60320 C20 to C13, 3x1.5mm², max. 10A, 0.5m

The InLine Power adapter cable IEC-60320 C20 to C13 3x1.5mm² max. 10A 0.5m provides a short, flexible connection between devices with C20 and C13 inlet/outlet configurations. Constructed with H05VV-F insulation and three conductors of 1.5 mm² cross-section, the cable is designed for reliable power transfer up to 10 A over a compact 0.5 m length. Its black finish and standardized IEC-60320 connectors make it compatible with many server, UPS and power distribution setups where a C20-to-C13 adapter lead is required.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact 0.5 m length that reduces excess slack and helps maintain tidy cable routing in racks and tight installations. The 3x1.5 mm² conductor size combined with H05VV-F insulation provides a balance of flexibility and mechanical protection while supporting currents up to 10 A. Standardized IEC-60320 C20 and C13 couplers ensure broad compatibility with equipment that uses these common power connections. The straightforward design and durable moulded connectors support repeated insertion and removal without modification to connected devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting power distribution units (PDUs) to equipment with C13 inlets
• Short interconnections in server racks and network cabinets
• Connecting UPS outlets to devices that require a C13 plug
• Temporary power reconfiguration where a short C20-to-C13 lead is needed

How to use

Insert the C20 coupler into the corresponding C20 outlet and connect the C13 coupler to the device inlet intended to receive power. Ensure both mating connectors are fully engaged and that the cable is routed to avoid tension or sharp bends that could stress the moulded ends. Before use, confirm that the connected devices and power source do not exceed the cable's 10 A rating. For permanent installations, verify compliance with local electrical codes and best practices for cable management.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for short connections only and avoid running the cable through high-traffic areas where it may be pinched or tripped over. Do not exceed the 10 A current rating and avoid exposure to heat sources or liquids. Inspect the cable periodically for visible damage to the jacket or connectors, and replace it if any defects are found.
