Powercord ACT C20–C21 IEC60320 black 1 m, 250 V 16 A

The ACT C20–C21 IEC60320 powercord is a 1 m, black mains lead designed to connect high-power IT equipment such as rack servers, PDUs and network devices that use IEC60320 C20 and C21 connectors. The cable provides a short, reliable connection for compact or rack-mounted systems and is rated for 250 V and 16 A. The C21 connector is specified as heat-resistant up to 155°C.

Advantages

This powercord offers a standardized IEC60320 C20 to C21 connection suitable for many server and networking brands. Its 1 m length keeps cable runs compact in racks or short-distance installations. The C21 contact material and construction provide high-temperature resistance, and the cable’s 2.5 mm² conductor cross-section supports the stated 16 A load at 250 V.

Suitable for

• Servers and rack-mounted IT equipment
• PDUs and power distribution in server cabinets
• Network switches and enterprise network devices
• Short-distance power connections inside racks or close equipment layouts

How to use

Insert the C20 end into the equipment or PDU inlet that accepts a C20 male plug and connect the C21 end to the matching receptacle on the corresponding device. Ensure both ends are fully seated and locked where applicable. Verify the target equipment’s power requirements do not exceed 250 V and 16 A and inspect the cable for damage before each use.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short internal rack connections or between closely located devices. Avoid routing the cable near sharp edges or heat sources beyond the specified 155°C rating and replace the cable if any insulation or conductor damage is visible.
