Panduit LPCB05-X Locking Power Cord IEC C20 to IEC C19

Overview

The Panduit LPCB05-X is a locking power cord designed to provide a secure connection between equipment with an IEC C19 inlet and a power source with an IEC C20 connector. This cable is critical for preventing accidental power disconnection in environments where vibration or movement could dislodge standard cords, ensuring continuous operation for network infrastructure, structured cabling, and data center connectivity solutions. The locking mechanism ensures that once plugged in, the connection remains firm, preventing downtime.

Compatibility

This cord is specifically designed to interface between IEC C20 (male) power inlets commonly found on higher-power devices like PDUs, UPS units, and some servers, and IEC C19 (female) power outlets found on networking equipment, servers, and other IT hardware. It is suitable for use with a wide range of network infrastructure components and data center power distribution units that utilize these specific connector types.

Installation Notes

The primary installation consideration is ensuring the correct connector types are present on both the power source and the connected equipment. The locking feature engages automatically upon insertion and disengages via a release mechanism on the connector, preventing accidental removal. Ensure the cord is rated for the voltage and amperage requirements of the connected equipment.
