Panduit LPCA11-X Power Cord

Overview

The Panduit LPCA11-X is a 2-foot (0.6m) dual-locking power cord designed to secure connections between equipment with an IEC C14 inlet and a power source with an IEC C13 receptacle. This cord is essential for preventing accidental disconnections in environments where vibration or movement could otherwise compromise power delivery, such as in server racks or industrial automation setups. The dual-locking feature ensures a firm connection, maintaining operational continuity.

Compatibility

This cord is compatible with any standard IEC C14 inlet found on power distribution units (PDUs), UPS systems, and IT equipment such as servers, network switches, and workstations. It connects to standard IEC C13 outlets found on power cords originating from UPS units or wall outlets. The 2-foot length is ideal for short, direct connections within a rack or enclosure, minimizing cable clutter.

Installation Notes

The dual-locking mechanism requires a firm push to connect and a specific release action (typically pressing a tab or button on the connector) to disconnect, preventing accidental unplugging. The cable is rated for high temperatures, allowing deployment in thermally demanding environments. It meets UL, CE, and EAC standards, indicating compliance with safety and regulatory requirements for its intended use.
