C14 to C13 power cables, particularly in a distinctive grey color and with a 15 Amp / 14 AWG rating, serve as fundamental components for power distribution within data centers and server racks. These cables are essential for connecting various IT equipment to Power Distribution Units (PDUs) or other power sources, ensuring reliable and high-quality power delivery.
Essential Power Connectivity for Data Centers
These IEC 60320 C14 to C13 power cables are designed to meet the critical power demands of modern data center environments. The grey color can also be utilized for cable organization, contributing to a more structured power infrastructure.
Key features and benefits include:
- Standardized Connectivity: The C14 plug (male) is a common inlet on many servers, network switches, and other IT equipment, while the C13 receptacle (female) is typically found on PDUs and power supplies. This makes them universally compatible for basic data center power connections.
- Reliable Performance: Rated at 15 Amp and featuring 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) conductors, these cables are built to handle the power requirements of critical servers and network devices, ensuring stable and uninterrupted operation.
- Color-Coding Capability: While this specific category highlights grey cables, the availability of different colors across the product line allows for effective color-coding of networks or power phases within a data center. This aids in:
Phase Identification: Clearly distinguishing between different power phases or circuits.
Redundancy Management: Marking primary and secondary power feeds.
Troubleshooting: Expediting problem identification and resolution, especially in complex rack setups. - Custom Lengths for Optimized Management: The ability to order specific lengths helps eliminate excess cable slack within racks and cabinets. This not only improves aesthetic organization but also enhances airflow and reduces potential obstructions, which is crucial for equipment cooling.
- High-Quality Construction: Built to ensure seamless and reliable performance from connected servers and power units, these cables are designed for durability and consistent power delivery.
- Versatile Applications: Primarily used in data centers for connecting: Servers Network switches and routers Storage arrays Other rack-mounted IT equipment to PDUs or uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
