C14 to C15 Server Power Cords Overview
This subcategory contains one high-temperature server power cord featuring an IEC 60320 C14 input plug and an IEC 60320 C15 equipment connector. Rated for 15A at 250V, the black cable is available in 1.5m, 1.8m, 2m, 3m, and 5m lengths. C14-to-C15 cords with this rating are used between PDU or UPS systems and C15-equipped hardware, including large server platforms, high-wattage PoE switches, and other network components intended for higher-temperature power connections. The five length options address different rack and equipment layouts while retaining the same connector configuration and electrical rating across the subcategory.
FAQ
- What types of devices use an IEC C15 inlet and require the PC-C14-C15-15A power cord?
The PC-C14-C15-15A cable is used to connect PDUs or UPS units to high-power IT equipment that have IEC C15 inlets. This includes large servers, high-wattage PoE switches and similar network devices designed for higher-temperature power connections.
- How does the IEC C15 connector on the PC-C14-C15-15A cable differ from a standard IEC C13 connector?
The IEC C15 connector has the same pin layout as a C13/C14 but is rated for higher temperatures. It’s the “hot-condition” version of C13: C15 supports temperatures up to ~120 °C (248 °F) versus 70 °C (158 °F) for a standard C13. In practice, C15 can plug into the same inlets but is safer for high-heat devices.
- Can the IEC C15 connector on PC-C14-C15-15A plug into equipment with a standard IEC C14 inlet?
Yes. The C15 connector is backwards-compatible with normal C13/C14 inlets. It shares the same shape (aside from a notch) and fits any equipment rated for a C14 connector. In other words, PC-C14-C15-15A can be used with devices that have a standard C14 inlet as well as true C15 (high-temp) inlets.
- What are the electrical specifications (current, voltage, wire gauge) of the PC-C14-C15-15A power cable?
This cable uses a heavy 14 AWG conductors and is rated for 15 A at 250 V AC. The 14 AWG wire gauge supports high-current loads typical of larger equipment, making it suitable for 15 A/250 V applications.
- What cable lengths are available for the PC-C14-C15-15A power cable?
The PC-C14-C15-15A is offered in multiple lengths to suit different rack layouts. It is available in 1.5 m, 1.8 m, 2 m, 3 m and 5 m lengths, all with the same 15 A/250 V rating.
- Does AICPLIGHT offer custom lengths or bulk ordering for the PC-C14-C15-15A cable?
