Power cord ACT C14 to C21 IEC60320, 2 m, 250 V, 10 A, black

ACT Powercord C14 to C21 IEC60320 is a 2 m black power cable designed to connect IT equipment, servers and power distribution units that require an IEC60320 C21 inlet. The cable features a C14 straight male plug and a C21 straight female connector and is rated for 250 V and 10 A. The C21 connector is high-temperature resistant up to 155°C, making the lead suitable for demanding rack and server environments where a compact, reliable power connection is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized IEC60320 connection between C14 and C21, compatible with many common server and network brands such as HP and Cisco. With a 2 m length and 1.0 mm² conductor cross-section, it balances flexibility and current capacity for typical IT equipment. The C21 connector's high temperature resistance (155°C) increases safety in high-load or warm rack conditions. The product is supplied in black and sold as a single piece, suitable for replacements or spare leads.

Suitable for

• Servers and rack-mounted equipment
• Power distribution units (PDUs) in data centres
• Network switches and enterprise IT appliances
• Replacement power leads for compatible devices (C14 to C21)

How to use

Inspect both the device inlet and cable connectors for damage before use. With the equipment powered off, insert the C21 female connector into the device inlet and connect the C14 male plug to a compatible power source or PDU. Ensure the connections are secure and switch the equipment on. Use the 2 m length to route the cable neatly within racks or cable trays to avoid strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this cable only with devices and power sources that match the specified ratings (250 V, 10 A). Do not use if the connector or cable jacket is damaged. Avoid routing the cable near sharp edges or heat sources exceeding the connector's rated temperature despite the C21’s 155°C resistance.
