Panduit NPCB08-X Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit NPCB08-X is an 8-foot power cord designed to bridge the gap between C20 inlet power supplies and C19 outlets. This cable is critical for deploying high-density IT infrastructure, ensuring a reliable power connection for servers, network switches, and other equipment that draws significant current. Its specific configuration is common in data center racks and enterprise server rooms where power distribution units (PDUs) often feature C19 receptacles.

Compatibility

This cord is built for equipment with a C20 power input connector and is intended for use with PDUs or UPS systems that provide C19 outlets. It is suitable for use with a wide range of server, networking, and IT infrastructure hardware from various manufacturers that utilize these specific connector types. The 8-foot length provides flexibility in rack layouts without excessive cable slack.

Installation Notes

Ensure the total current draw of the connected equipment does not exceed the rating of the C19 outlet and the power cord itself. The NPCB08-X is rated for 10A/125V or 8A/250V, providing ample capacity for most rack-mounted devices. Securely seat both the C20 plug into the equipment and the C19 connector into the power source to prevent accidental disconnection.
