Tripp Lite P018-003 PDU Power Cord

Overview

The Tripp Lite P018-003 is a 3-foot, 14 AWG heavy-duty power cord designed to connect IT equipment with a C14 inlet to a C13 receptacle, commonly found on PDUs and UPS systems. This cord is essential for establishing a secure and reliable power link in server racks and network closets, ensuring critical devices receive consistent power. Its robust construction is built for continuous operation in demanding environments.

Compatibility

This C13 to C14 power cord is compatible with any device featuring a C14 power inlet and any power distribution unit (PDU) or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with a C13 outlet. It is suitable for connecting servers, network switches, routers, workstations, and other IT hardware that utilizes this standard power connection configuration. The 14 AWG gauge ensures it can handle the power demands of most standard IT equipment.

Installation Notes

Ensure the P018-003 is fully seated at both the equipment inlet (C14) and the power source outlet (C13) to guarantee a stable connection. The 3-foot length is ideal for short-distance connections within a rack, minimizing cable clutter and improving airflow. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could stress the cable conductors.
