server power cord

Server power cord types explained: C13/C14 for standard 1U servers, C19/C20 for high-draw equipment, and locking IEC when accidental pull-out isn't an option. Includes selection chart and PDU matching guide.

C19 and C20 are the 16A/250V IEC mating pair for high-draw servers, blade chassis, and large UPS units — one tier above C13/C14. Learn which inlet your equipment has and when to step up.

 C13 and C14 are a mating pair under IEC 60320-1: the C13 female coupler is on the cord; the C14 inlet is built into the server or PDU. Learn the ratings, when to step up to C19/C20, and what to check before ordering.
