C14 to C19 Power Cord, 14/3 SJT, 15 A 125 V, Black, 3 to 10 ft (PWRAQ)

A server with a C20 inlet and a PDU with nothing but C13 outlets is a common mismatch, and this is the cord that resolves it: a C14 male plug on one end for the PDU's or the UPS's C13 outlet, a C19 female connector on the other for the equipment's C20 inlet, on 14/3 SJT rated 15 A at 125 V AC for 1875 W. The 14 AWG conductors carry a full 15 A load without the voltage drop or the heat of a lighter cord, and the 3, 6, and 10 ft lengths cover a jumper to the PDU in the same rack, a run to a UPS below, or a reach into the next cabinet. It's the adapter cord for a storage array, a high-wattage switch, or a workstation with a big supply in a rack whose power strips were bought for C13 equipment. Black, UL approved, RoHS compliant. For a PDU with C19 outlets, the PWRAR C19 to C20; for the C13 gear in the same rack, the PWRAO 16/3 and PWRAU 18/3 C13 to C14 jumpers.

• 15 A, 125 V AC, 1875 W. Rated for a full 15 A load.
• 14 AWG, 3 conductor. SJT jacket, black.
• 3, 6, and 10 ft. In-rack jumper to cross-cabinet run.
• UL approved, RoHS compliant.

Where It Fits

It suits data center and server room techs landing a server, a SAN or NAS array, or a core switch with a C20 inlet on a PDU that has only C13 outlets, UPS installs feeding C20 equipment from a UPS with C13 outputs, high-performance workstation builds with a large supply running off a rack power strip, anyone adding one piece of C20 gear to a rack without replacing the PDU, anyone who has reached for a C13 cord and found a C20 inlet, and a rack that already has the PDU, the C13 to C14 jumpers, and the cable management from the power and rack collections. For a PDU with C19 outlets, the PWRAR C19 to C20; for the lighter gear, the PWRAO 16/3 and PWRAU 18/3 C13 to C14 jumpers; for a wall receptacle, the PWRAC 5-15P to C13 or the PWRAD 5-15P to C15.

Good to Know

This cord adapts the connector, not the circuit: the equipment on the C19 end can draw no more than the C13 outlet it's plugged into is rated for, which is 15 A on a UL-rated PDU or UPS and 10 A under the IEC rating, so check the outlet's marking and the equipment's nameplate before a heavy load goes on it, and keep the total on the PDU within its breaker. A supply that needs the full 20 A a C19 outlet can deliver wants the PWRAR C19 to C20 on a C19 outlet, not this cord. It goes between a PDU or a UPS and a piece of equipment, not into a wall: a C14 plug fits a C13 outlet and nothing on a wall. SJT is a 300 V thermoplastic jacket rated for indoor junior hard service; it's for the inside of a rack, not for outdoors or for being walked on. A 14 AWG cord is stiff compared to the 18 AWG jumpers, so give it room to bend behind the chassis and pick the length that reaches with a gentle loop, since a 3 ft cord stretched tight between a PDU and a server will pull out of the inlet when the server slides forward on its rails. Seat both ends fully; a connector that's half seated on a 15 A load runs warm.
