HPE C5 125V 2.5AMP Black 1.8M TW Power Cord - P86420-B21

HPE P86420-B21 Standard Power Cord

Overview

The HPE P86420-B21 is a 125V AC power cord rated for 2.5 amps with an IEC 60320 C5 connector on one end — the three-prong inlet found on enterprise servers and networked infrastructure equipment. At 5.91 feet (1.8 m), it bridges standard outlet-to-device distance without excess coil overhead in a server rack or equipment closet. Built for North American 125V service, this is a direct replacement for OEM power delivery to HPE servers and compatible equipment.

Compatibility

The IEC 60320 C5 connector (mickey-mouse inlet) mates with C5 outlets on HPE ProLiant servers, Apollo systems, and other enterprise-class equipment designed for 125V AC power. Verify your device's inlet type and voltage rating before ordering — IEC C5 is standard on mid-range servers but not interchangeable with C13/C19 (larger appliance-grade) connectors. The 2.5 amp rating supports typical single-PSU server power draw; high-redundancy dual-PSU systems may require a second cord to the same outlet.

Installation Notes

Route the cord away from active equipment vents and sharp edges that could damage insulation. Do not exceed the rated 125V AC voltage or 2.5 amp continuous draw. For rack installations, use cable management clips to prevent tangling with other leads. Verify outlet grounding and polarity before first connection. If the cord shows any external damage, fraying, or discoloration near connectors, replace immediately — do not attempt repair.
