HPE P86419-B21 250V Power Cord

Overview

The HPE P86419-B21 is a 250V, 2.5A power cord with a 1.8-meter cable length and CN (China) connector termination. This is a direct replacement power cord for HPE server, storage, and networking equipment that operates on 250V single-phase circuits — common in data centers and enterprise deployments outside North America. The 2.5A rating means it handles up to 625W of equipment power draw at 250V, sufficient for mid-range enterprise appliances. The 1.8m length (approximately 5.9 feet) suits rack-mounted or floor-standing installations where the power distribution unit (PDU) sits within arm's reach of the device.

Compatibility

This cord is designed for HPE ProLiant, StoreEasy, and enterprise switch models that require a 250V, 2.5A input connector. Verify the device's power label before ordering — it must explicitly state 250V input and match the physical connector type. The CN connector designation indicates a China-standard IEC 60320 plug; cross-reference your equipment's inlet against HPE's parts diagram to confirm fit. Do not use this cord on equipment rated for 110V or 120V input, as the voltage mismatch will damage the power supply.

Installation Notes

Inspect the cord for visible damage (cuts, fraying, loose connectors) before installation. Route the cable away from high-traffic areas to prevent trip hazards and minimize cable strain at the connector. Plug the CN connector fully into the device inlet until it seats with no gaps — a loose connection generates heat and fire risk. Verify the PDU outlet is rated for 250V, 2.5A minimum. Do not daisy-chain or adapt this cord to other voltage standards or connector types. Keep the cord away from sharp edges and hot surfaces (server exhaust vents). If the cord shows signs of wear or the connector becomes loose over time, replace it rather than tighten or repair it.
