Panduit LPCB15-X Locking Power Cord IEC C20 to IEC C19EA

Overview

The Panduit LPCB15-X is a locking power cord designed to ensure secure, reliable connections for network infrastructure, structured cabling, and data center equipment. Its locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnection, a critical requirement in environments where uptime is paramount. This cord is specifically engineered for applications demanding robust power delivery without interruption, such as connecting servers, network switches, or PDU units.

Compatibility

This cord features an IEC C20 connector on one end, typically used for higher current input on devices like UPS systems or larger power distribution units, and an IEC C19EA locking connector on the other. The C19EA is designed to mate with standard IEC C20 inlets on equipment, providing a secure, locked connection. It is suitable for use with equipment requiring a C20 inlet and where a standard, non-locking C19 connector would otherwise be used, offering enhanced security against disconnections. Verify your equipment's power inlet specification matches the C20 and C19EA connector types.

Installation Notes

The locking feature on the C19EA connector requires a deliberate push-and-pull action to engage or disengage, ensuring it remains seated under normal operating conditions and vibration. Ensure the C20 connector is fully inserted into the power source and the C19EA connector is fully seated into the equipment inlet before applying power. The cable's application is specified for network infrastructure, structured cabling, and data center connectivity solutions, indicating its suitability for environments with controlled temperature and humidity.
