C20 to C13 Power Cords: Reliable and Versatile Solutions for Data Centers
Introduction
In the world of data centers and server rooms, efficient power distribution is crucial. C20 to C13 power cords play a vital role in connecting power distribution units (PDUs) or uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to servers, computers, and other devices. These heavy-duty cables are designed to handle high currents and provide reliable power transmission, ensuring smooth operations in mission-critical environments.
Understanding the Connectors
The C20 connector is a robust, 3-prong plug commonly found on PDUs and UPS units. It is designed to handle high currents, typically rated at 16A/250V internationally and 20A/250V in North America. On the other end, the C13 connector is a 3-prong receptacle that connects to computers, servers, and other devices. It is rated at 10A/250V internationally and 15A/250V in North America, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

C20 to C13 Power Cord FAQ
What is the difference between C13 and C14 connectors?
The pin arrangement of a C14 plug is identical to that of a C13 power cord. Therefore, the C14 plug will fit into a C13 socket and vice versa, but they are not interchangeable on every device. C13s are never male and C14s are never female. The number in the name indicates the gender of the connector.
Are C13 and C15 connectors the same?
No, C13 and C15 connectors are not the same. One key difference is that the C15 has a small notch running perpendicular to the ground terminal, while the C13 does not. The C15 connector is designed for higher temperature applications like servers and networking equipment, whereas the C13 is used for lower temperature devices like PCs and monitors.
What does the C13 designation mean on a power cable?
The IEC-320 C13 is a female connector commonly found on power cables with a mains plug (e.g., Type F Schuko) at the other end. It connects to devices with a C14 socket, such as computers, servers, and monitors. C13 to C14 extension cables are also widely used to provide additional cable length.
What is the difference between C13 and C19 connectors?
The C13 connector is more common for powering standard PCs and monitors, while the C19 connector is used for higher-power applications like servers and power distribution units (ePDUs). C19 connectors have a higher current rating compared to C13 connectors.
What is a C20 power connector?
The C20 connector is the plug counterpart to the C19 socket, designed for high-power applications up to 16A internationally or 20A in North America. It is commonly used with servers, rack-mount PDUs, and UPS power connections, paired with the C19 socket.
Are all C13 cables interchangeable?
Yes, all C13 cables are generally interchangeable as long as the cable fits the device's power supply unit (PSU). However, it's important to match the cable's voltage and current ratings to the device's requirements for safe operation.
