Vertiv ITA2-10KMBCSL3 IEC60309 60A Dual-Input UPS Bypass Cordset
Overview
The Vertiv ITA2-10KMBCSL3 is a 10-foot IEC 60309 60A 4W+G cordset engineered specifically for dual-input wiring of the Liebert ITA2 10kVA UPS system and the Liebert 10kVA rack-mount Maintenance Bypass Cabinet (MBC). If you are commissioning or replacing the input power connection on either of those two units, this is the part you need — it is not a general-purpose power cord and will not substitute for standard IEC C19/C20 or NEMA cordsets.
The IEC 60309 60A connector standard is the industrial-grade locking plug format used in data center and critical-facility power distribution where accidental disconnection is not acceptable. At 60A capacity on a 4W+G (four-wire plus ground) configuration, this cordset handles the full input current demand of the ITA2 10kVA chassis without derating, giving you margin rather than running the conductors at their limit. That headroom matters in bypass mode, where utility power feeds the load directly through this path while the inverter is serviced.
The 10-foot run length — specified as part number ITA2-10KMBCSL3 (also searched as ITA2 10KMBCSL3) — gives enough slack to route cleanly from a floor-mounted PDU or wall receptacle to a standard 42U or 45U rack without tension on the connector bodies. Forced tight bends at IEC 60309 connectors are a common field failure point; 10 feet eliminates that problem in most enclosed rack deployments.
Key Features
- IEC 60309 60A Locking Connector: Industrial locking plug format prevents accidental disconnection under vibration or cable movement — critical in bypass mode where this cord is the only power path to the load.
- 4W+G (Four-Wire Plus Ground) Configuration: Supports dual-input wiring of the ITA2 bypass cabinet, keeping both the primary UPS input and maintenance bypass input properly terminated and grounded.
- 10-Foot Length: Sufficient for standard rack-to-PDU runs without strain on connector terminations — a common cause of intermittent faults on shorter cordsets in dense rack environments.
- System-Specific Compatibility: Validated for the Liebert ITA2 10kVA UPS and Liebert 10kVA rack-mount MBC — eliminates guesswork when sourcing a replacement or commissioning a new installation.
Integration & Compatibility
The ITA2-10KMBCSL3 is confirmed compatible with two specific Vertiv Liebert platforms: the Liebert ITA2 10kVA UPS system and the Liebert 10kVA rated rack-mount Maintenance Bypass Cabinet. It is not listed as compatible with other ITA2 kVA ratings or other Liebert UPS families — verify your chassis nameplate before ordering. Source receptacles must provide IEC 60309 60A 4W+G termination; if your facility uses a different plug standard (NEMA L6-30, IEC C19, or other), this cordset is not the correct solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What UPS systems is the ITA2-10KMBCSL3 compatible with?
A: It is verified for the Liebert ITA2 10kVA UPS system and the Liebert 10kVA rated rack-mount Maintenance Bypass Cabinet. It is not listed for other ITA2 kVA ratings.
Q: What connector type does the ITA2-10KMBCSL3 use?
A: IEC 60309 60A 4W+G (four-wire plus ground) — an industrial locking plug format standard in data center power distribution.
Q: How long is the ITA2-10KMBCSL3 cord?
A: 10 feet, which covers standard rack-to-PDU or rack-to-wall-receptacle runs in most enclosed cabinet deployments.
Q: Can I use the ITA2-10KMBCSL3 with a NEMA or IEC C19 receptacle?
A: No. This cordset terminates in IEC 60309 60A connectors. Your source receptacle must match that standard. NEMA and IEC C19/C20 receptacles are not compatible without an adapter, which is not recommended for high-current UPS input wiring.
Q: Where is the ITA2-10KMBCSL3 manufactured?
A: Country of origin is China, per manufacturer product data.
The ITA2-10KMBCSL3 is one of those parts that looks like a commodity until you order the wrong one — the IEC 60309 60A 4W+G dual-input configuration is specific to the Liebert ITA2 10kVA bypass architecture, and substituting a generic cordset risks under-rated conductors or a connector mismatch that fails inspection before the cabinet ever goes live.
Technical Highlights:
- IEC 60309 60A Rating: Sized for the full input current draw of the 10kVA chassis — no derating, no thermal margin sacrifice, even during extended bypass operation.
- Dual-Input 4W+G Termination: Handles both the primary UPS input and the MBC bypass input from a single cordset, reducing field wiring complexity during initial commissioning or MBC integration.
- 10-Foot Run: Long enough to route cleanly in a standard 600–800mm deep cabinet row without tension on the locking plug body — connector stress is the leading cause of IEC 60309 field failures.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your facility's source receptacles are IEC 60309 60A 4W+G before ordering — this cordset does not adapt to NEMA, C19, or other standards without field modifications that void the cordset rating.
- This part is validated for the ITA2 10kVA model only; other ITA2 kVA ratings use different input current specs and may require different cordsets — confirm against your chassis nameplate.
Best fit for data center facility teams commissioning or refreshing a Liebert ITA2 10kVA installation where the MBC bypass path needs a factory-spec input cordset — particularly relevant in colocation environments where input wiring is subject to facility inspection before cabinet energization.
