InLine Power adapter cable, IEC-60320 C20 to C13, 3x1.5mm², max. 10A, 1m

This InLine power adapter cable IEC-60320 C20 to C13 3x1.5mm² max 10A 1m is designed to connect devices that require a C13 inlet to a C20 power source. The cable has a 1 meter length and a black jacket, and is built with a 3-conductor 1.5 mm² cross-section to support up to 10 A of current in higher-power applications where a C20 outlet is used. It provides a straightforward means to adapt between the two IEC-60320 connector types while maintaining a compact, flexible connection.

Advantages

The cable uses industry-standard IEC-60320 C20 and C13 connectors, enabling compatibility with many IT, networking and power distribution devices. The 3x1.5 mm² conductor size balances flexibility and current capacity for moderate-power equipment. A one-metre length offers convenient reach without excess cable bulk, and the black outer sheath provides a discreet, professional appearance.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers, PDUs or UPS units with C20 outlets to equipment with C13 inlets
• Rack-mounted systems and data center power distribution where short adapter leads are needed
• Workstations and lab equipment requiring reliable, grounded power connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: IEC-60320 C20 (male inlet) to IEC-60320 C13 (female)
• Cable length: 1 m
• Conductor configuration: 3 conductors
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per conductor
• Maximum current rating: 10 A
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert the C20 plug into the matching C20 outlet on the power distribution unit, UPS or other supply, and connect the C13 end to the device inlet requiring a C13 connector. Ensure both connected devices are powered off when making connections. Verify the cable is routed to avoid strain, kinks or contact with sharp edges, and confirm the current draw of connected equipment does not exceed the 10 A rating.

Recommendations

Use this adapter cable for short power runs in racks and equipment rooms. Do not exceed the specified maximum current of 10 A, avoid continuous exposure to high temperatures, and replace the cable if the outer sheath or connectors show visible damage. For installations with higher current requirements, choose a cable with larger conductor cross-section and an appropriate current rating.
