Power Cord ACT C20–C21 IEC60320 red 1 m, 250 V 16 A

ACT red power cord with IEC60320 C20 (male) to C21 (female) connectors, 1 m long, rated for 250 V and 16 A. The C21 connector is specified for high-temperature resistance up to 155°C and the cable is intended for powering high-power IT equipment such as servers and professional network devices.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, standardized IEC connection between equipment with a C20 inlet and devices requiring a C21 coupler. Its short 1 m length reduces cable clutter in racks and distribution units, while the C21’s high-temperature resistance makes it suitable for equipment that may operate at elevated connector temperatures. The red color helps with visual identification in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for appliances that require other IEC connector types (for example C13/C14 or country-specific mains plugs). It is also not intended for installations that require longer runs than 1 m or higher current/voltage ratings than 16 A / 250 V.

Key specifications

How to use

Locate the equipment with the matching C20 inlet and insert the male C20 connector securely into the device. Plug the C21 female connector into the corresponding power inlet on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and strain reliefs are not under tension. Use within rated voltage and current limits and avoid sharp bends or crushing points along the cable.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this C20–C21 IEC60320 cable for short, reliable power connections in server racks, UPS systems and PDUs; avoid overstressing connectors and replace the cable if insulation or connectors show signs of wear.
