Secure rack connection

The Cable Leader 3 ft NEMA L5-15P to C13 locking power cord uses a twist-lock plug that secures the connection so it cannot be pulled loose in a rack or under vibration. It is built for servers, PDUs and equipment powered from a locking outlet in data centres and server rooms. The black jacket helps organise circuits by colour.

Check your outlet and draw

Verify that your power source provides a NEMA L5-15P locking receptacle rated for 125 V. Confirm the equipment you are connecting draws no more than 15 A so the 14 AWG, SJT-jacketed, 3-conductor copper cable operates within its rated capacity. The cord is UL Listed and CSA certified (file E210037) and RoHS compliant.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous operation the 14 AWG conductors and 105 C / 300 V SJT jacket are rated to handle the full 15 A / 125 V load without overheating. The twist-lock mechanism maintains a firm connection even when rack vibration or cable movement would disconnect a standard plug. The cord is intended for steady server and PDU duty rather than intermittent light use.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need anything else to use this 3 ft L5-15P to C13 cord?

The package contains the single 3 ft locking power cord with a NEMA L5-15P twist-lock plug on one end and an IEC C13 connector on the other. No extra parts are required; plug the L5-15P into a matching locking outlet and the C13 into the server or PDU.

Which gauge should I pick — 18 AWG, 16 AWG, 14 AWG or 12 AWG — for my server rack?

Choose 14 AWG when the equipment draws up to 15 A at 125 V; 18 AWG is limited to 10 A, 16 AWG to 13 A, and 12 AWG is for 20 A circuits. This cord is 14 AWG, rated 15 A / 125 V with an SJT jacket.

What does the 15 A / 125 V rating mean once the cord is installed in a rack?

It means the cord can continuously carry 15 amps at 125 volts, suitable for typical servers and PDUs on a 15 A branch circuit. The 14 AWG copper conductors and 105 °C / 300 V SJT jacket handle the heat and voltage in a rack environment.
