Data Center Cables from Cables.com

What is a data center? Simply put, a data center is a site responsible for storing and sharing the applications and data that make up an organization's data infrastructure. Without this essential location and its operations, key day to day functions would cease. It makes no difference if your business outsources data storage and processing, hosts external websites, or has built a data center or centers from the ground up - the data management infrastructure inside the building is every bit as important as integrated building systems, such as power, cooling, and fire protection. That’s where Cables.com comes in. 

Power Distribution Unit cables are essential for keeping your home or business data center operating at optimal capacity. Cables.com stocks a broad range of PDU power cables for numerous data center applications, and we're confident that we have the right one for you. 

When it comes to data center applications, IEC320 power cables are meant primarily for connecting a PDU (power distribution unit) and a server. An IEC connector refers to a type of cable that meets the International Electrotechnical Commission standards. These cables typically consist of a "male end" with a C14 or C20 plug partnered with a "female end," commonly a C13, C15, or C19 plug. The cables you'll find on Cables.com are all UL listed, meaning that they've been tested by UL Solutions and found to meet all requirements for data center functions. 

The cables and cords you choose for your data center will determine how well it runs, so it's important to source them from reliable sellers like Cables.com. Cables.com stocks the US-manufactured Datacomm cables you can rely on for your network. Starting with the basics: your power cords. You'll need a sturdy connection between your server and your PDU, so take a look at our C14 to C15 PDU to Server 15 Amp Power Cord. The equipment end of this power cable features a thick-insulated IEC320 C15 female connector, while the supply end is fitted with a securely-sleeved IEC320 C14 male plug. 

Finally, consider investing in a locking data center cable when you need to secure the power supply to important electrical equipment such as servers and computers. The "locking" feature is enabled when used with Rack PDUs or IT equipment. These locking connectors reduce the probability of accidentally disconnecting cords and causing power to be cut from vital components. Our locking C19 to C20 power cords will fit into any standard IEC receptacle or power inlet.

American-Made Network Cables at Cables.com

With network speeds constantly on the rise, it's hard to keep track of what you an expect for your data management. Singlemode fiber optic patch cables will do the job in some cases, while others call for a more complex multimode fiber cable setup. But what if you need the best of the best, and prefer to stick to a wired network? While fiber optic connections are considered the most cutting edge option for home and business data networks, ethernet cables remain in common use throughout the world. Category 6A ethernet cables are currently the industry standard for data network installations, but that doesn't mean the technology has stopped evolving - Cat7 and Cat8 connections are growing more popular by the day.

Rated for up to 500 Mhz, Cat6A cables can offer up to twice the speed of Category 6 cables and are gigabit rated, which makes them suitable for POE (Power Over Ethernet) devices - no additional cables needed! Out Datacomm Cat6A cables offer a reliable and secure connection between your devices and your home or office network.
