Panduit PLD08RD Dual-Locking Power Cord
Overview
The Panduit PLD08RD is an 8-foot (2.4m) dual-locking power cord designed to prevent accidental disconnection in environments where vibration or movement could dislodge standard power cables. Its locking mechanism ensures a secure connection, critical for maintaining continuous operation of sensitive equipment like network switches, servers, or surveillance recorders. The bright red color aids in quick identification and management within complex power distribution units (PDUs) or server racks.
Compatibility
This cord is designed for universal compatibility with standard IEC C13 receptacles found on most PDUs and IT equipment. The dual-locking feature provides enhanced security compared to non-locking C13 cords. It is suitable for use with any equipment requiring a C14 inlet and a standard grounded power cord.
Installation Notes
The dual-locking connectors require a deliberate push-and-pull action to engage or disengage, preventing accidental unplugging. Ensure the C13 end is fully seated into the equipment inlet and the C14 end is fully seated into the PDU or wall outlet. The 8-foot length offers flexibility in rack and cabinet deployments, reducing cable strain.
