PDU Power Cord, C13 to P-Lock C14 - Heavy-Duty, 15A, 250V, 14 AWG, 6 ft. (1.8 m), Black

PDU Power Cord, C13 to P-Lock C14 – Heavy-Duty, 15A, 250V, 14 AWG, 6 ft. (1.8 m), Black

This heavy-duty PDU power cord is designed for secure, dependable AC power delivery in professional AV, IT, and rackmount environments. With a C13 to P-Lock C14 connection, it is intended for applications where maintaining a locked power connection is important to help reduce accidental disconnection from a PDU, server, switch, display processor, or other compatible equipment. The 14 AWG construction and 15A / 250V rating make it suitable for higher-demand installations that need a robust cord instead of a lighter-duty alternative.

Who it is for

This cord is a practical choice for system integrators, managed service providers, IT teams, and AV installers building reliable rack systems. It is also useful for anyone replacing a standard IEC power lead with a locking-style connection to improve retention at the PDU end. If your environment includes equipment racks, control rooms, equipment closets, or mobile racks that are frequently moved or serviced, this cable helps support safer cable management and more stable power connectivity.

Why buy this cord

The main benefit is connection security. The P-Lock C14 end is designed to help keep the cord seated in compatible equipment, which can be valuable in installations where vibration, cable movement, or frequent access can loosen ordinary power leads. The heavy-duty 14 AWG build is better suited to demanding power distribution than thinner cords, while the 6 ft. (1.8 m) length provides a useful middle ground for close-to-mid-distance rack connections without excessive slack.

Common use cases

• Rack-to-PDU power connections for AV and IT equipment
• Servers, network switches, and other rackmount devices that accept C13 power input
• Equipment rooms where strain relief and retention are helpful
• Mobile racks, temporary event systems, and service carts
• Replacement cord for installations that need a locking C14 interface

Deployment guidance

For best results, confirm that the powered device accepts a C13 input and that the source side is compatible with a P-Lock C14 connection. Plan cable routing so the 6 ft. length reaches comfortably without being stretched tight or left with unnecessary loops. In rack environments, secure the cord with appropriate cable management to preserve airflow and reduce stress on connectors. Because this is a power accessory, compatibility and fit should be verified before installation, especially when used with proprietary or nonstandard power distribution equipment.

Installation notes

Use the cord only in compatible power applications rated for the cable’s voltage and current specification. Avoid pinch points and maintain proper bend radius when dressing the cable through racks or enclosures. If you are standardizing a deployment, this cord is a good option to stock as a service replacement or as part of a broader rack power accessory kit.
