HPE C5 250V 2.5AMP Black 1.83M It/ch Power Cord - P86424-B21

HPE P86424-B21 C5 Power Cord

Overview

The HPE P86424-B21 is a 1.83-meter (6-foot) IEC C5 power cord rated for 250V and 2.5AMP. This is a replacement or spare cord for HPE power supplies, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and network infrastructure equipment commonly deployed in surveillance control rooms, data closets, and edge computing installations. The C5 connector format (standard kettle-style inlet) matches virtually all commercial-grade AC-input power supplies and power distribution units across the HPE product line.

Compatibility

The P86424-B21 fits any HPE power supply or network device equipped with a standard C5 inlet connector. This includes HPE power supplies rated for 100–277V AC input (both low-line 90–132V and high-line 180–305V AC variants), as well as compatible third-party UPS systems and PDUs using IEC C5 female inlets. Verify your existing equipment inlet type before ordering — C5 is the three-prong curved connector, distinct from C13 (straight three-prong) and other IEC formats.

Installation Notes

Operating temperature range is 5°C to 50°C (41°F to 122°F) — stay within standard indoor climate control limits. The cord handles non-condensing humidity up to 95%, so avoid direct spray or submersion. Storage temperature rating spans -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F), allowing this cord to remain in inventory or backup stock across wide temperature swings without degradation. The 1.83-meter length accommodates typical rack-to-outlet distances in standard 42U cabinet setups; if your run exceeds this, confirm total cable length with your facility layout before purchase. UL, CSA, CE, and FCC Class B certification means this cord meets North American and European safety standards for use in commercial surveillance and networking environments.
