Countries around the world follow different standards for what voltages they distribute, and the same goes for buildings within those countries. By the time power reaches your device, many of these variables have to be considered by the manufacturer. To help solve this ambiguity, they offer a range of acceptable voltages rather than defining each specifically. Many of these IEC cables accept 120-240 Volts in the form of 1 or 2 lines of power.
IEC 60320 Power Cords | Standard Data Center Power Cables
The most common IEC connector and IEC plug.
The IEC 60320 Plug and Connector standards are arguably the most widely used across the world, since every country uses them and can pair them with their local plug types to power their devices. With that said, the connectors are much more used because of their combination with local Plug configurations like NEMA in North America, or Schuko in Europe. The most popular connector found around the world has to be the IEC-C13 Connector as it is the standard-duty connector for supplying power to electrical devices.
What IEC 60320 connector does your equipment require?
These power cables are globally universal, and whether you're in a data center in Taiwan or Tallahassee they will look identical. With globally approved power cables you can even use the same product, but more on that later. We stock both C20 and C14 Plug Power Cables, with a wide range of connectors. You should first determine your IEC320 power source to figure out the plug you require. Then look at the power inlet on the equipment you wish to energize and match it with the connectors available on our products. Then just determine the distance the cable must travel to connect the two and you are done!
IEC 60320 C14 C13 Power Cords | Data Center Cords
The IEC C13 to C14 is an extension power cable, designed to extend the power from a supply source to a desired location. The Plug and Connector are identical configurations, which defines this as an IEC Extension cable. The IEC 320 C13 Power Outlet is the power source this cable draws power from. It is commonly found in data centers, IT cabinets, or anywhere that an IEC 60320 Power Distribution Unit is used. The IEC 60320 C14 Equipment Inlet is the power connection point that this cable would connect to, and supply power to the equipment. It is found on electrical devices around the world and is the most common power inlet for devices requiring 10 to 20 Amperes of power.

If you do not have access to a NEMA Twist Lock receptacle to power your matching Plug and cannot have a receptacle installed, you may need a Twist Lock Adapter. These power cables allow you to access power from a standard Power Distribution Unit (PDU), found in office settings and on Server Racks in the form of a Rack Mount PDU. If you need a power tap for your locking Nema plug, these can be a cost-effective solution. We offer both C20 Adapters and C14 Adapters, allowing you to access the majority of power outlets found on Rackmount PDUs.

IEC 60320 C14 C7 Power Cords
The “shotgun” connector, also known as the IEC 60320 C7 gets its name from the two symmetrical barrels that form this connector and look like the barrel of a shotgun. This connector is only rated for 2.5 Amperes of power and does not use a ground, so generally, it is used in similar circumstances to the C5, but where the equipment does not require a ground. For example, power transformers for monitors and small gaming consoles. We stock both polarized and non-polarized power cables, and the type of inlet your are plugging into will determine your requirement. If your IEC 60320 C8 Inlet is symmetrical and looks like the shape of the number 8, it is “non-polarized” meaning it can be plugged in 2 different ways by rotating 180 degrees. If the Inlet is not symmetrical, it will require a “polarized” C7 connector. We denote this in our product skus with the “P” identified (ie. 1407P-_____).

The IEC-320-C14 to IEC-320-C19 power cords are used when a common iec extension cable will not work. In the event of retro fitting newer equipment to an existing PDU, or vise versa and maybe even a unique piece of equipment in your data rack you will need one of these IEC320 adapter extensions. For example, if you have a Rackmount PDU with only C13 Outlets available and 3 out of four pieces of equipment use a C14 inlet, but one has a C20 Inlet this would be a perfect match! The same applies for the C20 to C13 power cable, with the power source and equipment inlet reversed.

Can these universal power cords use both 125V and 240V?
What lower voltage cables are available for PDU Data Centers?
The IEC 60320 set of standards includes 2 connector types that stand alone as low-power device connectors because of their substantially different amperage rating. These are the C7 and C5, which are rated for only 2.5 Amperes. These connectors (for this product series) are only used with the c14, but they can also be found with NEMA 1-15P and other low amperage plugs around the world. IEC 60320 Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes is a set of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifying non-locking appliance and interconnection couplers for connecting power supply cords to electrical appliances up to 250 volts. Different types of connector (distinguished by shape and size) are specified for different combinations of current, temperature and earthing requirements. Unlike IEC 60309 connectors, they are not coded for voltage; users must ensure that the voltage rating of the equipment is compatible with the mains supply.
What IEC Power Cord do I need for my application?
These power cables are globally universal, and whether you're in a data center in Taiwan or Tallahassee they will look identical. With globally approved power cables you can even use the same product, but more on that later. We stock both C20 and C14 Plug Power Cables, with a wide range of connectors. You should first determine your IEC320 power source to figure out the plug you require. Then look at the power inlet on the equipment you wish to energize and match it with the connectors available on our products. Then just determine the distance the cable must travel to connect the two and you are done! We will discuss the granular details like wire gauge and color later.
What is a C13 Power Cord? My customer is specifically looking for one.
There are many similarities in the classification of power cables, and their identifiers. Because of this, customers and end users can often mix up their terminology because of the small variations of the terms. Here are some examples of how these two terms: C14 and C13 can be miscommunicated.
How much amperage does my power cord require?
Your power cable should be capable of supplying sufficient power to the device you are energizing. With this product series, it is important to be aware of the power requirements you must satisfy since we offer many different wire gauges and C19 extension cords tend to power larger devices. Consult your on-site representative to determine the required amperage for your device. These extension cables use a 250 Volt electrical source and are rated from 15 Amps to 20 Amps depending on the wire gauge you select.
Can I plug my IEC320 C15 connector into a standard IEC320 C14 Inlet?
The C15 is a high-temperature variation of the IEC 60320 C13 Standard, and has all of the ratings and safety approvals of the C13 but can withstand greater temperatures. To improve the usability and functionality of the connector, it can be “downgraded” or plugged into a standard C14 Inlet and function as a C13 connector. The C13 cannot plug into a C16 Inlet on the other hand, since it cannot be “upgraded” without posing a fire and electrical hazard. This logical engineering can be found in many different configurations of power cables and helps the user utilize the power sources available while keeping the user safe from electrical hazard and preventing fire to the best of their ability.
What are high temperature connectors?
The IEC 60320 C15 is a High Temperature Connector, designed to withstand internal pin temperatures up to 120 °C (248 °F). The C16 Inlet, also known as C15 Plug, is found on devices that emit more than 70 °C (158 °F) under operating conditions and therefore cannot utilize the C13 Connector Standard. The C15 connects to this high-temperature C16 configuration and provides power to the equipment in a safe manner. The key distinction making this connector higher temperature rated is the material composition of the internal electrical connections and the plastic polymers used in manufacturing.
What is a C21 High Temperature Power Connectors?
The IEC 60320 C21 Is a high temperature connector that is engineered and designed with the intent to withstand the most extreme circumstances present in a data center. It can withstand temperatures up to 155 °C (311 °F) and power loads up to 20 Amperes and 250 Volts. Due to the excessive properties of this connector, it is only used for circumstances such as powering state of the art Rackmount Servers from PDUs that can provide such power and cooling that is present with these circumstances.
When will you need the High-Temp Connector instead of the Standard Power Connector?
The kettle power cable, or the C15 Power Cable can withstand up to 120 °C (248 °F) rather than the 70 °C (158 °F) the C13 is rated for. The IEC320 C15 is actually very similar in appearance to the C13. However, the C15 has a notch beneath the ground slot, which allows it to be inserted into the high-temperature Inlet found on high-temperature devices. Since the C13 does not have this notch, it cannot be plugged into the C16, which would be a fire hazard since the C13 is not rated for the same temperature threshold. The same is true for the IEC320 C21 to the C19. When you require more than a temperature rating of 65 °C (149 °F) with the C19, you will need to use the C21 that is rated up to 155 °C (311 °F).
What product configurations are available for High Temperature IEC320 Cables?
We stock many different configurations of high temperature IEC320 Cables, and provide many lengths, colors and wire gauges for each product line configuration. Our standard cables include the C14 to C15 Power Cables and the c20-c21 power cords. These can be thought of as “high temperature extension cables”. We also offer the inverse of these, that act as an adapter to the other. These are the c14 to c21 high temperature cables and the c20-c15 high temperature cables.
