The Ultimate 5-15P to C19 Power Cord for Server Applications

When it comes to powering servers and other equipment in data centers, having the right power cord is essential. Cable Leader's 5-15P to C19 power cord is specifically designed to meet the demands of these critical applications, providing a reliable and secure connection between your devices and power sources.

Heavy-Duty Construction for Maximum Durability

One of the key features of our 5-15P to C19 power cord is its heavy-duty construction. We understand that data center environments can be demanding, with equipment running 24/7 and the need for reliable power delivery. That's why we've engineered our power cords to withstand the rigors of these settings.

The cord is fully molded, which means that the connectors are seamlessly integrated with the cable jacket. This design eliminates any weak points and ensures that the cord can handle repeated plugging and unplugging without damage. The molded construction also provides superior strain relief, preventing the connectors from pulling away from the cable and minimizing the risk of failure.

14 AWG Wire Gauge for Optimal Power Delivery

Another crucial aspect of our 5-15P to C19 power cord is its 14 AWG wire gauge. This heavy-duty wire gauge is thicker than the more common 18 AWG cords, allowing for better power delivery and reduced voltage drop over longer distances.

The 14 AWG wire gauge is particularly important for server applications, as these devices often have higher power requirements than typical office equipment. By using a thicker wire gauge, our power cords can safely and efficiently deliver the necessary power to keep your servers running at optimal performance levels.

NEMA 5-15P and IEC-60320-C19 Connectors for Compatibility and Safety

To ensure compatibility with a wide range of devices and power sources, our 5-15P to C19 power cord features two industry-standard connectors. On one end, you'll find a NEMA 5-15P plug, which is a standard 3-prong plug commonly used in North America for connecting devices to power outlets. This plug is designed to provide a secure and grounded connection, minimizing the risk of electrical hazards.

On the other end of the cord, you'll find an IEC-60320-C19 connector. This high-power connector is typically used for servers, PDUs (power distribution units), and other data center equipment. The C19 connector is designed to handle higher amperage and voltage than the more common C13 connector, making it the perfect choice for demanding server applications.

Both connectors are fully molded and feature high-quality materials to ensure a secure and reliable connection. The prongs are designed to maintain a tight fit, preventing accidental disconnections that could lead to downtime or equipment damage.

UL and cUL Listed for Guaranteed Safety

Safety is paramount when it comes to electrical components, and our 5-15P to C19 power cords are no exception. These cords are UL and cUL listed, which means they have been rigorously tested and certified to meet the highest safety standards set by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a globally recognized safety science company.

UL listing ensures that our power cords have been evaluated for potential safety hazards, such as fire, electric shock, and mechanical injury. By choosing a UL and cUL listed power cord, you can have peace of mind knowing that your equipment and personnel are protected from electrical risks.

RoHS and REACH Compliant for Environmental Responsibility

In addition to safety, Cable Leader is committed to environmental responsibility. Our 5-15P to C19 power cords are compliant with both RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) directives.

RoHS compliance ensures that our power cords are free from hazardous substances, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can harm the environment and human health. REACH compliance goes a step further, regulating the use of chemicals throughout the supply chain to minimize their impact on the environment and human health.

By choosing Cable Leader's 5-15P to C19 power cords, you're not only ensuring the reliable performance of your equipment but also contributing to a more sustainable future.

Versatile Applications in Data Centers and Beyond

While our 5-15P to C19 power cords are primarily designed for server applications in data centers, they are also suitable for a wide range of other uses. Any equipment that requires a C19 connector and a 5-15P plug can benefit from these heavy-duty power cords.

Some common applications include: Connecting servers to PDUs Powering network switches and routers Supplying power to storage devices and arrays Connecting high-performance workstations and servers Powering audio/visual equipment in professional settings No matter your specific application, you can trust Cable Leader's 5-15P to C19 power cords to deliver reliable, safe, and efficient power to your critical equipment.
