Power cord C13 - C14 black 0.3 m ACT Powercord AK5164

The ACT Powercord C13 - C14 black 0.3 m AK5164 is a compact mains lead designed for short-distance power connections between compatible equipment. With a C14 inlet on one end and a C13 outlet on the other, this 0.3 m cable provides a reliable electrical link for devices requiring standard IEC connections. Rated for 230 V and 6 A, the cable supports common office and IT appliances while its black jacket gives a discreet, professional appearance.

Advantages

This power cord offers a short, space-saving length that reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in rack or desktop installations. The molded C14 and C13 connectors ensure secure mating with IEC-compatible devices and power distribution units. Constructed for durability, the black insulation resists wear from regular handling and maintains consistent electrical contact for stable power delivery.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers, switches or PDUs within a rack where short cable runs are required
• Linking desktop power supplies to upstream IEC power in compact workstations
• Replacing or extending existing IEC C13–C14 connections in AV or lab equipment
• Temporary or permanent short-range power connections in data centers and offices

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.3 m
• Connector A: C14 coupler (inlet)
• Connector B: C13 coupler (outlet)
• Rated voltage: 230 V
• Rated current: 6 A
• Colour: Black
• Application: IEC mains interconnection for IT and electrical equipment

How to use

Ensure both the source and the receiving device are switched off before connecting the cable. Insert the C14 connector into the power source or PDU and the C13 connector into the device inlet until each connector seats firmly. After connections are secure, switch on the power source and verify the connected equipment powers up correctly. For disconnection, switch off power first and withdraw the connectors by gripping the molded housings rather than pulling on the cable.

Recommendations

Use this short-length power cord where minimal slack is required to reduce cable congestion and improve airflow. Avoid routing the cable near sharp edges or heat sources and do not exceed the rated current and voltage. Inspect connectors periodically for signs of wear and replace the cable if insulation or connector integrity is compromised.
