Panduit LPCA01-X Locking Power Cord
Overview
The Panduit LPCA01-X is a 2-foot (0.6m) locking power cord designed to provide a secure connection between an IEC C14 inlet on a device and an IEC C13 outlet, typically found on Power Distribution Units (PDUs). Its double-locking feature prevents accidental disconnection, which is critical for maintaining continuous power to sensitive IT equipment in server racks and data centers. This cord is specified for environments requiring high-temperature operation and adherence to international safety standards.
Compatibility
This cord is designed for use with any equipment featuring an IEC C14 inlet and any PDU or device with an IEC C13 outlet. It is suitable for use with Panduit's SmartZone™ PDU line and other standard rack-mount power infrastructure where a secure, non-detachable power connection is required. The 0.6m length is ideal for direct device-to-PDU connections within a single rack unit, minimizing cable clutter.
Installation Notes
The double-locking mechanism requires a deliberate action to disengage, ensuring stability during normal operation and preventing vibrations or minor movements from causing power loss. The high-temperature rating (specific value not provided in evidence) supports deployment in warm data center environments. It is approved to UL, CE, and EAC standards, ensuring compliance for international deployments.
