NEMA 5-15P to C19 Power Cables: Reliable Connections for Server Applications

Introduction to NEMA 5-15P to C19 Power Cables

In the world of data centers and server rooms, reliable power connections are crucial for ensuring uninterrupted operation and optimal performance. CableLeader's range of NEMA 5-15P to C19 power cables offers a robust and durable solution for connecting servers, computers, and other devices to Power Distribution Units (PDUs). These heavy-duty cables are designed to meet the demanding requirements of server applications, delivering reliable power delivery and long-lasting performance.

Understanding the NEMA 5-15P Connector

The NEMA 5-15P is a three-wire, two-blade connector with a ground pin, commonly known as the standard household plug. It is capable of delivering both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), with a power consumption of 15 amps at 125 volts. This connector is widely used for connecting small appliances, TVs, microwaves, and other household devices to wall outlets.

• The NEMA 5-15P is compatible with NEMA 5-20R T-Slot outlets, which are commonly found in new home installations.
• The ground pin is longer than the live and neutral blades, ensuring that the device is grounded before power is connected.
• NEMA 5-15P plugs are available in different wire color configurations, with the most common being black, white, and green.

The IEC-60320-C19 Connector

On the other end of the cable, the IEC-60320-C19 connector is designed for high-power applications, making it an ideal choice for server and data center environments. This connector is rated for 250 volts and 16 amps internationally, and 20 amps at 125 or 250 volts in North America, with a temperature rating of up to 70°C/158°F.

• The C19 connector is a three-wire, grounded design, ensuring safe and reliable power delivery.
• It mates with the C20 inlet, commonly found on servers, routers, switches, and other computing devices.
• C19 connectors are often used in jumper cable scenarios, providing power from a PDU to various IT equipment.
