Power cord ACT C14 to C21 IEC60320 black 1.5 m, 250 V 10 A

ACT power cord with IEC60320 C14 (inlet) to C21 (outlet) connectors, 1.5 m length, rated for 250 V and 10 A. The cable is black and intended for connecting compatible IT and networking equipment such as servers, PDUs and power supplies that require a C21 inlet. The C21 connector is high-temperature resistant up to 155°C, making it suitable for applications where elevated connector temperatures may occur.

Advantages

The cord provides a standard IEC60320 C14 to C21 connection for reliable power delivery in server rooms and office environments. It supports up to 250 V and 10 A and features a C21 connector rated for high temperatures up to 155°C. The 1.5 m length offers moderate reach while keeping cable routing manageable, and the black jacket is suitable for typical IT installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers and rack equipment with a C21 inlet
• Powering PDUs and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) that accept C21
• Data centre and office power connections where IEC60320 compatibility is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not appropriate for equipment that requires different connector types (for example C13, C19 or country-specific plugs). It is also not suitable for applications that exceed its electrical ratings of 250 V and 10 A or where a longer or shorter cable length is needed.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: IEC60320 C14 (male/inlet) to C21 (female/outlet)
• Rated voltage and current: 250 V, 10 A
• C21 connector temperature resistance: up to 155°C
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm²
• Colour: black

How to use

Plug the C14 end into a compatible power source such as a PDU or power supply with a C14 inlet, and connect the C21 end to the device requiring a C21 inlet. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the installation complies with local electrical regulations. Avoid routing the cable across sharp edges or heat sources that could damage the jacket or conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the device inlet type is C21 and the power source accepts a C14 connector
• Confirm the electrical requirements of your equipment do not exceed 250 V / 10 A
• Check that 1.5 m length is sufficient for your cable routing needs

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within its rated voltage and current, avoid tight bends and protect it from mechanical damage. Select the 1.5 m length when proximity between PDU and device is moderate; for longer runs choose a different length.
