Panduit LPCA15-X Locking Power Cord

Overview

The Panduit LPCA15-X is a locking power cord designed to ensure a secure, reliable connection between equipment with an IEC C14 inlet and a power source with an IEC C13EA outlet. This cord prevents accidental disconnections, a critical requirement in environments where power stability is paramount, such as network infrastructure, structured cabling deployments, and data center connectivity solutions. The locking mechanism provides peace of mind, eliminating the risk of power loss due to vibration or incidental contact.

Compatibility

This cord is specifically designed for use with devices featuring an IEC C14 power inlet and power outlets conforming to the IEC C13EA standard. It is suitable for a wide range of IT and networking equipment, including servers, network switches, UPS units, and other rack-mounted devices that utilize this common power connector configuration. Ensure your equipment's power inlet matches the IEC C14 specification and your power source outlet matches the IEC C13EA specification for proper fit.

Installation Notes

The locking feature on the C13EA connector engages securely with compatible outlets, requiring a deliberate action to disconnect. Standard IEC C14 connectors are non-locking. Ensure both ends are fully seated before applying power to the connected equipment. This cord is intended for indoor use in controlled environments typical of data centers and network closets.
