HPE C5 250V 2.5AMP Black 1.83M KR Power Cord - P86427-B21

HPE P86427-B21 Standard Power Cord

Overview

The HPE P86427-B21 is a 250V AC power cord rated for 2.5 amps, 6 feet (1.83 m) in length with an IEC 60320 C5 connector at one end. This is a replacement or spare cord for HPE servers and compatible enterprise power equipment operating on 250V mains. The C5 connector is a two-pin, angled jack designed to mate with a matching C6 inlet on server power supplies and PDUs — standard across HPE's rack and enterprise infrastructure lineup. Use this where your existing cord is damaged, missing, or when scaling out a server deployment requiring additional power connections.

Compatibility

The P86427-B21 works with any HPE server, power distribution unit (PDU), or power supply equipped with a standard IEC 60320 C6 inlet socket. This includes HPE ProLiant, Apollo, Synergy, and legacy Proliant generation servers, as well as compatible Eaton, APC, and third-party PDUs with matching C6 inlets. Verify your equipment's inlet type — C5/C6 connectors are smaller and lighter-duty than C13/C14 (standard desktop/monitor cords) or C19/C20 (high-amperage racks). Do not force a C5 plug into a C13 or C19 socket.

Installation Notes

The 6-foot length provides adequate reach in most single-rack or two-rack deployments; measure your run from outlet to equipment inlet before ordering. The cord is rated for 250V AC and 2.5 amps — confirm your mains voltage is 250V and does not exceed 2.5A draw through this cord. Install in environments up to rated operational temperature; avoid kinking or crushing the cable jacket. The angled C5 connector reduces strain on the inlet when routed along the rear of a rack.
