Panduit LPCA05-X Locking Power Cord

Overview

The Panduit LPCA05-X is a locking power cord designed to prevent accidental disconnection in critical infrastructure deployments. It features an IEC C14 inlet connector on one end and an IEC C13EA locking connector on the other, ensuring a secure power link for network devices, servers, and other IT equipment. This cord is specifically engineered for environments where power stability is paramount, such as data centers, network closets, and industrial control systems.

Compatibility

This cord is compatible with any equipment featuring a standard IEC C13 inlet and any power distribution unit (PDU) or device with an IEC C14 outlet. Its locking mechanism ensures it will not dislodge from compatible IEC C13EA-accepting PDUs or outlets, providing a more reliable connection than standard, non-locking power cords. It is suitable for use with network infrastructure, structured cabling, and data center connectivity solutions.

Installation Notes

The locking feature on the C13EA connector requires a specific release mechanism on the mating outlet or PDU to disengage. Ensure the power source (PDU or outlet) is rated for the load of the connected equipment. Standard IEC C13/C14 connections are rated for up to 10A at 125V or 6A at 250V, but always verify equipment requirements.
