Panduit LPCB13-X Dual-Locking Power Cord

Overview

The Panduit LPCB13-X is a 6-foot (1.8m) dual-locking IT power cord designed to provide a secure connection between IT equipment and Power Distribution Units (PDUs). Its locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnection, crucial for maintaining continuous operation in data centers, server rooms, and network closets where vibration or movement can dislodge standard power cords.

Compatibility

This cord features an IEC C20 inlet connector, typically found on higher-current PDUs or UPS units, and an IEC C19 outlet connector, commonly used on enterprise-grade servers, network switches, and other high-power IT hardware. It is suitable for equipment requiring up to 10A at 125V or 20A at 250V, depending on the specific regional electrical code and device rating. Ensure your equipment and PDU ports match the C19 and C20 specifications, respectively.

Installation Notes

The dual-locking feature ensures the cord remains firmly seated in both the PDU and the equipment's power inlet. Installation is straightforward: simply plug the C19 end into your IT device and the C20 end into the corresponding PDU outlet. The locking tabs require a deliberate action to disengage, providing a secure connection that withstands typical rack environment disturbances. This cord carries UL, CE, and EAC certifications, indicating compliance with safety standards.
