HPE P86421-B21 250V Power Cord
Overview
The HPE P86421-B21 is a 250V, 2.5-amp power cord rated for 1.83 meters (6 feet). This is a genuine HPE replacement or spare cord for enterprise infrastructure equipment. The C5 connector type indicates compatibility with standard IEC 320 C6 receptacles found on many server, storage, and network power supplies — the type commonly used in data center and commercial rack deployments where you need deterministic, field-replaceable power distribution.
Compatibility
This cord is designed for HPE enterprise equipment with standard C5/C6 power inlets. Verify the inlet type and voltage/amperage rating of your target device before ordering. The 250V, 2.5A rating makes it suitable for mid-range power equipment; confirm your device does not require higher amperage (e.g., 10A or 16A models). C5 connectors are broadly used across HPE ProLiant servers, storage arrays, and UPS systems, but always cross-reference the part number in your equipment documentation or with HPE technical support to avoid mismatched connections.
Installation Notes
Ensure the power outlet and equipment inlet match the 250V, 2.5A specification. The 1.83-meter length is typical for equipment-to-PDU or equipment-to-wall-outlet runs in standard rack spacing; measure your actual cable run before installation to confirm adequate length. Do not exceed the rated amperage or voltage. Inspect the connector pins and receptacle for damage or corrosion before use, and ensure a secure seating when mated to avoid intermittent power loss.
