V-Lock Power Cords are used with APC AP8000 series PDUs to lock the C14 or C20 Plug into the PDUs C13 or C19 outlet receptacle. This creates a secure connection between the power cord and the PDU, ensuring they do not become accidentally disconnected, which may have serious consequences when powering electrical appliances. The V-Lock also has a locking connector, allowing it to securely lock into the device (typically a server or networking device). We have a variety of amperages, colors, and plug configurations to help you find the correct cable for your project or IT Installation.

IEC 60320 C19 Locking (V-Lock)

IEC 60320 C19 Locking (V-Lock)
  • The IEC 60320 C19 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 20 Amps. The C19 mates with a C20 inlet, and is commonly used in a jumper cable scenario in IT Installations providing power from a PDU to a server, router, switch or other computing device. The C19 is typically used in high powered blade server chassis, large network routers, and other IT equipment that draws more power than a standard C13 can accommodate.The locking mechanism is released by pressing the release lever. With it's bright yellow color, it is easily recognizable and distinguishes this system from conventional connections. The pull-out force is at least 200 N.
