Powercord ACT C14 to C21 IEC60320 black 1 m, 250 V, 10 A

ACT power cord with IEC60320 connectors C14 (inlet) to C21 (outlet), 1 m length, rated for 250 V and 10 A. The cable is a single-core mains lead in black intended for powering compatible IT equipment such as servers and power distribution units where a C21 receptacle is required. The C21 connector is high-temperature resistant up to 155°C, making it suitable for applications with elevated connector temperatures.

Advantages

The cable provides a standard, compact connection between a C14 inlet and a C21 outlet and is suited to common rack and desktop installations. Its C21 connector is specified to withstand temperatures up to 155°C, and the lead is designed for a maximum load of 250 V~ and 10 A. The black single-core construction simplifies routing in server rooms and matches typical IT equipment aesthetics.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to power distribution units with a C21 socket
• Network switches and rack-mounted equipment requiring C21 receptacles
• IT environments where a compact 1 m mains lead is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for use within its rated electrical limits (250 V~, 10 A). It is not suitable for devices that require higher current or voltage than specified, or for environments needing special rated or certified cables (for example, medical, explosive atmospheres, or outdoor direct-burial use). Also avoid using it where a different connector type is required.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connectors: IEC60320 C14 (male) to IEC60320 C21 (female)
• Rated voltage and current: 250 V~, 10 A
• C21 connector temperature resistance: up to 155°C
• Conductor size: 1.0 mm² (single-core)
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the C14 male end into the corresponding C14 inlet on a UPS, PDU or power source and connect the C21 female end to the device requiring a C21 plug such as a server or switch. Ensure the cable routing avoids sharp edges and heat sources, and verify that the connected device does not exceed the cable's 10 A rating. Regularly inspect the connectors and insulation for damage and replace the cable if any wear is detected.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the device requires a C21 inlet and the power source provides a C14 outlet
• Verify that 250 V and 10 A meet the electrical requirements of your equipment
• Check required cable length and whether 1 m is sufficient for your installation

Recommendations

Use this ACT C14 to C21 IEC60320 power cord for standard indoor IT installations, ensuring connectors are fully engaged and not overloaded. For higher current needs or different connector types, select a cable with appropriate ratings.
