FAQs

What is the difference between C14 and C19 connectors?

IEC C14 connectors are typically rated for 10 Amps, while IEC C19 connectors are rated for 16 Amps. This cable allows you to connect equipment with a C19 inlet to a power source providing a C14 outlet, bridging these two standards.

Can I use this cable to connect a standard PC to a UPS?

This cable is specifically for connecting equipment with a C19 power socket. Most standard PC power supplies use a C13 connector. Please check your equipment's power inlet before purchasing.

What is the maximum power this cable can handle?

The limiting factor is the IEC C14 connector and the power source it connects to, which is typically rated for 10 Amps. Ensure your connected equipment does not draw more than 10A.

Is this cable suitable for high-power servers?

Yes, it is designed for high-performance equipment like servers and UPS systems, provided the power source supplying the C14 connection can adequately support the server's power requirements (up to 10A).

How do I ensure the cable is correctly installed?

Ensure the C14 plug is fully inserted into the power source and the C19 socket is fully inserted into the equipment. The connections should feel secure.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's listing for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Device is not powering on.

Verify that the IEC C14 connector is securely plugged into the power source and the IEC C19 connector is firmly seated in the equipment. Check that the power source itself is active and providing power. Ensure the equipment's power switch is in the 'on' position.

Intermittent power loss.

Inspect both ends of the cable for loose connections. Check the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the total power draw of the connected device does not exceed the 10A rating of the C14 input or the capacity of the power source.

Cable feels warm during use.

This could indicate the cable is near its maximum load. Check the amperage rating of the connected equipment and compare it against the 10A limit of the C14 connector and the power source. If close to the limit, consider a higher-rated power solution.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates connection between C14 and C19 power interfaces.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity in professional settings.
  • 2-meter length offers flexibility in cable management.
  • Suitable for high-demand equipment like servers and UPS units.
  • Standard black color for a clean, professional look.

Cons

  • Requires attention to the amperage difference (10A vs 16A) to avoid overloading.
  • Not suitable for applications exceeding the C14 input's 10A rating.
  • Specific use case; not a universal power adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the IEC C14 end into a compatible power source (like a UPS, PDU, or wall outlet adapter that accepts C14 connectors) and plug the IEC C19 end into your equipment's power inlet. Ensure the connection is firm at both ends.

Compatibility: This cable is designed to bridge an IEC C14 (typically rated for 10A) with an IEC C19 (typically rated for 16A) socket. It is crucial to ensure that the total power draw of the connected equipment does not exceed the amperage rating of the C14 input or the power source it is connected to. It is ideal for use with servers, UPS systems, professional audio/visual equipment, and other IT hardware requiring a C19 connection.

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Inspect the cable regularly for any signs of damage, such as cuts or fraying. Store in a dry environment when not in use.
