Powercord ACT C14 to C21 IEC60320 red 3 m, 250 V 10 A

ACT Powercord with IEC60320 connectors C14 (inlet) to C21 (outlet), red, 3 m length. Rated for 250 V and 10 A, this mains cable connects compatible power supplies, servers and IT equipment that use IEC C14/C21 interfaces. The C21 connector is high-temperature resistant up to 155°C, making the cable suitable for installations where elevated connector temperatures can occur.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized IEC60320 C14 to C21 connection for rack-mounted servers and network equipment. Its 3 m length and clear red colour simplify routing and identification in data centre and server-room environments. The C21 outlet’s higher temperature resistance increases reliability in demanding installations.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for devices that require different inlet or outlet connector types (for example C13/C14, C19/C20 or country-specific mains plugs). It is rated for a maximum of 250 V and 10 A, so it should not be used where higher voltage or current ratings are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the C14 inlet into the corresponding C14 power source or PDU, and connect the C21 outlet to the device’s C21 inlet. Route the 3 m cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges and heat sources. Ensure connections are secure before powering equipment and verify that the cable’s 250 V / 10 A rating matches the device requirements.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the cable for standard server-room and data-centre connections where a C21 outlet is specified. Avoid overloading beyond 10 A, and replace the cable if any connector or insulation shows damage. For high-current or different connector requirements, choose a cable with appropriate ratings and connectors.
