Panduit NPCA12-X Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit NPCA12-X is a 4-foot power cord designed to connect equipment with an IEC C13 inlet to a standard NEMA 5-15P wall outlet or PDU. This cord is critical for ensuring stable power delivery in IT racks and server environments, particularly for devices that require a C13 connection but are being powered from a common North American receptacle. Its 4-foot length offers flexibility without excessive cable slack, reducing clutter in dense installations.

Compatibility

This power cord is compatible with any device featuring an IEC C13 power input connector, commonly found on network switches, servers, UPS units, and some monitors. It connects to standard NEMA 5-15P outlets, which are ubiquitous in North American power distribution units (PDUs) and wall sockets. It is suitable for use with equipment requiring up to 10A at 125V.

Installation Notes

Ensure the device's power requirement does not exceed the cord's rating of 10A at 125V. The NEMA 5-15P plug is designed for standard grounded outlets. The IEC C13 connector should be firmly seated into the device inlet to prevent accidental disconnection. No specialized tools are required for installation.
