FAQs

What is the difference between a C19 and a C13 connector?

A C19 connector is rated for higher current (typically 16A) and is used for power-hungry equipment like UPS units and large servers, whereas a C13 connector is rated for lower current (typically 10A) and is found on most standard computer power supplies.

Can I use this cable for a standard desktop computer?

No, this cable is designed for devices with a C19 power inlet. Standard desktop computers typically use a C13 power inlet, for which a different type of cable is required.

What is the maximum current this cable can handle?

This cable is rated for a maximum of 16 Amperes (16A).

What type of copper is used in the conductors?

The cable uses 3 x 2.08mm² (14AWG) copper conductors.

Is this cable suitable for international use?

No, this cable features a USA 3-Pin plug and is intended for use in North America. It is not suitable for use in regions with different power outlet standards without an appropriate adapter (and voltage compatibility check).

How long is the cable?

The cable is 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in length.

Troubleshooting

Device is not receiving power

Ensure the C19 connector is fully seated in the device and the USA 3-Pin plug is securely inserted into a working power outlet. Check that the power outlet itself is functional by testing with another device.

Cable feels hot during use

This cable is designed for high current. If it feels excessively hot, disconnect immediately and verify that the connected device's power draw does not exceed the cable's 16A rating. Also, check for any kinks or damage to the cable.

Loose connection at either end

Inspect the C19 and USA 3-Pin connectors for any visible damage or debris. Ensure they are clean and properly seated. If the connection remains loose, the cable may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and reliable power connection for high-demand equipment.
  • Molded connectors enhance durability and reduce the risk of physical damage.
  • Specifically designed for IT infrastructure components like UPS and PDUs.
  • Uses thick gauge copper wiring (14AWG) for efficient power delivery.

Cons

  • The C19 connector is not a standard IEC C13, limiting its use to specific devices.
  • Not suitable for general-purpose computing devices with a standard C13 power inlet.
  • Color is Black, which may not match all aesthetic requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the C19 connector into the corresponding port on your high-current IT device (e.g., UPS, PDU, server). Plug the USA 3-Pin end into a grounded North American power outlet.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring a C19 power input port and requires a standard USA 3-Pin grounded power socket. It is *not* compatible with standard C13 computer power inlets.

Care: Keep the cable away from excessive heat, moisture, and sharp objects. Regularly inspect connectors and the cable for any signs of damage. To clean, unplug the cable from both the device and the power source, and wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
