HPE C5 250V 2.5AMP Black 1.8M IL Power Cord - P86429-B21

HPE P86429-B21 Standard Power Cord

Overview

The HPE P86429-B21 is a 250V AC power cord terminated with an IEC 60320 C5 connector on one end, purpose-built for HPE server installations. The 6 ft cord length covers the typical reach from a PDU or wall outlet to a server chassis without requiring daisy-chained extensions — a practical constraint in dense rack environments where excess cable becomes a fire hazard and airflow obstruction. Black jacket for standard enterprise environments.

Compatibility

This cord is designed for HPE server platforms operating on 250V AC single-phase power in regions including Israel (per localization marking). The IEC 60320 C5 connector (also called a "mickey mouse" or three-hole connector) is a standard inlet on most HPE ProLiant and Synergy server power supplies. Verify your server's power inlet type before ordering — some HPE models use C13 or C19 connectors instead. Not compatible with PDU outlets that require C14 (male) or higher-amperage connectors like C19.

Installation Notes

Rated for 2.5 AMP maximum load. The 6 ft length is measured from connector to connector; account for wall routing and strain relief loops when planning PDU placement. Avoid running this cord alongside high-amperage circuits or signal cables without shielded conduit — 250V mains can induce noise in sensitive equipment. Do not coil excessively or apply tension to connectors after installation.
