Power Cord Kit (6 ea), Locking, C13 to C14, 0.6m (2ft), North America, Blue

Designed for demanding IT environments, this Power Cord Kit delivers reliable, locking power connections for critical equipment. The six blue locking C13 to C14 cords offer consistent performance across racks, PDUs, servers, switches, and storage devices. Each cable is engineered to meet IEC 60320 standards, ensuring secure mating with compatible outlets and inlets. With a compact 2-foot length, these cords reduce clutter and improve airflow in tight cabinet spaces. The locking mechanism helps prevent accidental disconnections during busy operations, maintenance, and the vibrations created by cooling fans. The blue color makes it easy to visually identify power runs, aiding technicians during deployment, cable management, and future upgrades. This kit is ideal for data centers, enterprise IT rooms, and workspace environments that demand dependable power distribution and fast, repeatable installations. Keep spare cords on hand for multi-device setups or standardized configurations across an entire rack or data center. In short, a practical, durable, and cost-effective solution for powering modern IT infrastructure with confidence.

• Locking IEC 60320 C13 to C14 design for secure connections that resist accidental disconnections, essential in high-density racks, consolidating critical uptime across servers, switches, PDUs, and other IT equipment. The locking feature keeps cords in place through movement, vibration, and cable rearrangements during maintenance windows, ensuring consistent power delivery where it matters most.
• Compact 0.6 m (2 ft) length optimized for tight cabinet environments and clean cable management. These short cords are ideal for front-to-back routing in dense data centers, minimizing excess slack that can trap dust or block airflow while still offering enough reach to connect devices to nearby PDUs or outlets.
• Blue color coding for rapid identification and simplified cable labeling in complex IT environments. Color-coded power cords help technicians distinguish between circuits, power rails, or redundancy paths at a glance, speeding deployments, troubleshooting, and routine audits without compromising performance.
• Six-pack kit provides abundant availability for multi-device deployments, spare units for replacements, and consistent cord type across a fleet of equipment. This bulk arrangement reduces procurement steps, enhances standardization in racks and server rooms, and supports scalable growth as data centers expand or reorganize cabling layouts.
• North America ready design, compatible with typical North American power distribution units, outlets, and IT equipment. These cords are suited for data centers, corporate IT rooms, and edge deployments that rely on IEC 60320 C13/C14 connections, delivering reliable power distribution aligned with regional electrical standards and installation practices.

How to install Power Cord Kit

• Identify the appropriate C14 inlet on your power distribution unit, server, switch, or UPS. Ensure the device accepts an IEC 60320 locking connector and that the C13 end will mate securely with the device's inlet.
• Align the locking C13 end with the device’s C14 inlet. Insert gently and push until you feel or hear a click, indicating the locking mechanism is engaged and the connection is secure.
• Route the cable along clean cable-management paths, avoiding sharp edges, pinch points, and areas with heavy foot traffic. Use ties or velcro straps to keep the run tidy and to promote optimal airflow around equipment.
• Repeat the process for additional devices as needed, connecting each to its respective PDU or outlet. Maintain consistent color-coding and labeling to simplify future maintenance or upgrades.
• Power on connected devices and monitor for stable operation. If a connection does not seat properly or appears loose, reseat the connector and inspect the inlet for debris or damage before applying power again.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What equipment can these cords be used with? A: These locking C13 to C14 cords are designed for IT equipment with IEC 60320 C14 inlets and C13 female connectors, including servers, switches, PDUs, UPS units, and other compatible devices.
• Q: Are these cords suitable for all regions? A: They are designed for North American electrical infrastructure and are best used with equipment rated for NA standards. Check device voltage and outlet compatibility before use.
• Q: How long is each cord? A: Each cord measures 0.6 meters (2 feet), an ideal length for compact racks and short-range connections.
• Q: How many cords come in a kit? A: The kit includes six (6) locking power cords, providing ample spares for deployment across multiple devices or racks.
• Q: Can I mix locking and non-locking cords? A: For critical connections and reliable uptime, use locking cords where required and avoid mixing with non-locking variants to prevent accidental disconnections during operation or maintenance.
