C14 to C13 Power Extension Cords: Extending Reach and Flexibility

Introduction

In the realm of data centers and computer equipment setups, C14 to C13 power extension cords are essential tools for extending the reach of existing power cords, providing greater flexibility and convenience. These specialized cords bridge the gap between power sources and devices, ensuring seamless connectivity and uninterrupted power supply. CableLeader offers a comprehensive range of high-quality C14 to C13 power extension cords, designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers and computing environments.

Connectors and Compatibility

C14 to C13 power extension cords feature two distinct connectors: the IEC-60320-C14 male connector on one end and the IEC-60320-C13 female connector on the other. This combination ensures compatibility with a wide range of computer equipment, power distribution units (PDUs), and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) commonly found in data centers and server rooms.

IEC-60320-C14 Male Connector

The IEC-60320-C14 male connector, often referred to as the "kettle plug," is designed to plug into the corresponding C13 female socket found on devices, power supplies, and extension cords. Its robust construction and secure fit ensure a reliable connection, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections.

IEC-60320-C13 Female Connector

The IEC-60320-C13 female connector is the counterpart to the C14 male connector. This socket is commonly found on the power input of computer equipment, servers, and other IT devices. By connecting a C14 to C13 power extension cord to this socket, users can extend the reach of their existing power cords, providing greater flexibility in positioning and cable management.
