ACT Cable de alimentación C14 a C21 IEC60320 azul 2 m, 250 V 10 A

ACT Powercord C14 to C21 IEC60320 in blue, 2 m long, provides a secure connection between equipment with an IEC C14 inlet and devices requiring an IEC C21 outlet. The cable is intended for IT and networking hardware such as servers, rack devices and switches that use the IEC60320 C21 connector and supports mains voltages up to 250 V at 10 A.

Advantages

The C21 connector is high-temperature resistant up to 155°C, making the cable suitable for environments where higher contact temperatures may occur. The 2 m length offers flexibility for rack and cabinet installations, while the IEC60320 C14 to C21 pairing ensures compatibility with a range of server and network equipment. The blue jacket helps visually distinguish power circuits in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Powering servers and rack-mounted equipment with IEC C21 inlet
• Network switches and IT devices from common manufacturers (e.g., HP, Cisco) that accept IEC C21
• Data centre and server room cabling where a 2 m lead is appropriate

When it may not be suitable

Not suitable for devices that do not use an IEC60320 C21 inlet or that require higher current or voltage than 250 V / 10 A. It is also not intended as a replacement for mains cords with local plug types (CEE, UK, USA, etc.) without the correct mating connector or adapter.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connectors: IEC60320 C14 (male) to IEC60320 C21 (female)
• Rated voltage/current: 250 V ~ / 10 A
• C21 temperature resistance: up to 155°C
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm²
• Colour: blue

How to use

Insert the C14 male end into a compatible power source or PDU with a C14 socket and connect the C21 female end to the equipment inlet requiring an IEC C21 connection. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends, strain or heat sources. Verify the device specifications to confirm the 250 V / 10 A rating matches the equipment requirements before powering on.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your equipment uses an IEC60320 C21 inlet
• Ensure 250 V / 10 A is sufficient for the device's power draw
• Check required cable length and colour coding preferences for your installation

Recommendations

Use the cable in rack and cabinet environments with proper ventilation and strain relief. Avoid running the cable near high-temperature surfaces and replace the cable if any damage to the insulation or connectors is visible.
