Panduit PLD08BU Dual-Locking Power Cord
Overview
The Panduit PLD08BU is an 8-foot dual-locking power cord designed to prevent accidental disconnection in critical power distribution scenarios. Its locking mechanism ensures a secure connection, vital for maintaining continuous operation in environments where vibration or incidental contact could dislodge standard power cords. This cord is suitable for use with PDUs and other equipment requiring a reliable power source.
Compatibility
This power cord is designed for universal compatibility with standard C13 receptacles found on most PDUs and IT equipment. Its dual-locking feature is intended to interface with compatible C14 inlet connectors on devices or PDUs that support locking mechanisms, providing enhanced security over non-locking cords. It meets multiple international standards, including cULus, CE, TUV, SAA (Australia / New Zealand), and CCC (China), ensuring broad applicability.
Installation Notes
The PLD08BU offers a straightforward plug-and-play installation. Simply connect the C13 end to the equipment or PDU and the C14 end to the power source. The dual-locking feature engages automatically when the C14 connector is inserted into a compatible C13 receptacle, providing immediate strain relief and preventing disconnection. The 8-foot (2.4-meter) length provides adequate reach for most rack-mounted deployments without excessive cable slack.
