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

Power reliability is non-negotiable in today’s IT environments. This Power Cord Kit delivers six locking IEC 60320 cords with C13 to C14 connections designed to secure critical equipment in demanding data centers, server rooms, and office networks. The distinctive red jackets are not just eye-catching; they enable quick visual identification in crowded racks, reducing downtime and speeding up maintenance or reconfigurations. Each cord is engineered for high-use environments where multiple devices rely on stable, uninterrupted power. This kit supports a range of IT gear—from servers and switches to storage arrays and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)—and is ideal for deployments that demand tidy cable management, reliable connectivity, and easy expansion. By choosing locking connectors, you minimize the risk of accidental disconnections during routine servicing or power cycling, a common cause of unexpected downtime in dense rack setups. Whether you’re provisioning a small data cabinet or upgrading a multi-rack installation, these cords help you maintain clean pathways for airflow and simplify inventory management.

• Locking connection for secure, vibration-resistant power links: Each cord pair uses IEC 60320 locking C13 to C14 connectors that latch in place, dramatically reducing the chance of unplugging due to equipment movement, vibration, or accidental tugs during maintenance. This feature is especially valuable in busy data centers and network closets where cords are regularly rerouted or swapped between devices.
• High-visibility red jacket for fast identification and safer cable routing: The red color stands out against neutral equipment and rack frames, making it simple to trace power paths during installations, audits, or fault isolation. This visual cue supports best practices in cable management, helping technicians distinguish power circuits and avoid cross-wiring or misidentification with data cables.
• Compact 0.6-meter length tailored for clean, efficient rack layouts: The mid-length cords strike a balance between reach and organization—enabling secure connections without excess slack. They are ideal for short runs from PDUs or power strips to devices with rear or side-mounted inlets, keeping airflow clear and reducing cable clutter in high-density racks.
• Six-piece kit for scalable IT deployments: The package includes six locking C13 to C14 cords, designed to power multiple devices in a single rack or across adjacent cabinets. This makes it easy to equip a small-to-medium deployment with dependable, consistent cabling, while simplifying restocking and replacements for standard IT setups.
• North America-ready design for compatible IT gear and outlets: Built for the power environments common in North American offices and data centers, these cords align with standard IEC 60320 equipment inlets and outlets, ensuring dependable operation with devices like servers, switches, PDUs, and other compatible hardware that rely on C13/C14 connections.

How to install Power Cord Kit (6 ea) Locking C13 to C14, 0.6m

• Plan your cabling layout: Before connecting cords, map out the devices in your rack and identify the corresponding C14 inlets. Consider airflow, future expansion, and ideal cable pathways to minimize congestion.
• Power down if possible: For equipment that is sensitive to hot-swapping or power interruptions, power down devices in accordance with your site procedures before disconnecting or connecting cords.
• Connect the locking C13 end to the device inlet: Align the C13 locking connector with the C14 inlet on the IT equipment. Push gently until you feel or hear the locking mechanism engage. The latch should secure the connection; avoid forcing the connector beyond its natural travel.
• Secure the opposite end to the power source: Attach the locking C14 end to the corresponding power distribution unit (PDU), power strip, or outlet designed to accept locking connectors. Confirm the latch engages and that the connection remains stable when gently tugged.
• Route and manage cables: Use cable management accessories to guide cords along the back of the rack, away from air vents, fans, and hot zones. Keep cords neatly organized to reduce trip hazards and simplify future maintenance or replacements.
• Test and verify: Restore power to devices and verify that each inlet remains securely connected. Check device indicators and ensure power stability across the rack. If any cord fails to lock or maintain power, inspect for damage and replace as needed.

Frequently asked questions

• What is included in the kit? The Power Cord Kit includes six locking IEC 60320 C13 to C14 cords, each measuring 0.6 meters in length, with a red jacket for easy identification across IT racks.
• What equipment is compatible with these cords? They are designed for IT equipment featuring IEC 60320 C13/C14 interfaces, including servers, switches, storage devices, PDUs, and UPS units commonly deployed in North American data centers and office networks.
• Why choose locking cords? Locking connectors reduce the risk of accidental disconnection during maintenance, cabling changes, or device movement. This helps maintain uptime and data integrity in environments with high cable density or frequent reconfigurations.
• How long is each cord? Each cord is 0.6 meters (approximately 2 feet) long, which is ideal for short, clean runs from power sources to devices while keeping pathways clear for airflow and service access.
• Is the color important? Yes. The red jackets provide a quick visual cue for power distribution paths, aiding identification during installation, troubleshooting, and audits, and helping distinguish power lines from data cables in complex rack systems.
• Can I use these cords outside North America? This kit is designed for North American power environments. For use in other regions, check local electrical standards and compatibility with IEC 60320 connectors before deployment.
