C14-to-C13 Reach for Rack PDUs
This four-foot cord adds length between a rack PDU, UPS or other C14 source and your existing C13 power cord. The male C14 plug and female C13 socket follow the IEC 60320 standard used across servers, switches and AV gear. Black SJT jacketing helps trace circuits and phases at a glance. UL Listed and CSA certified (file E210037) with RoHS compliance.
Replaces Short Factory Leads on High-Draw Gear
Factory cables often fall short when equipment sits deeper in the rack or when a UPS sits on the floor. The 16 AWG, three-conductor copper construction carries up to 13 A at 250 V, a step above 18 AWG leads rated for 10 A. Move to 14 AWG at 15 A or 12 AWG at 20 A only when the connected load exceeds 13 A. The 105 °C / 300 V cable rating covers typical data-center ambient temperatures.
Fits Standard Rack Power Chains
No adapter is required; the cord plugs directly into any IEC 60320 C14 outlet and accepts any C13 plug. It frees up slack in existing cords without adding bulk, keeping cable-management trays tidy. Builders who need longer runs or higher amperage should select a heavier-gauge extension instead. The lifetime replacement promise from the US-based brand backs the connection for the life of the install.

Questions about this item
What clearance does the 41-inch C14-to-C13 cord need behind a rack PDU?
The 4 ft cable adds 41 inches of reach; allow enough depth for the C14 plug and C13 socket to sit without sharp bends.
Which end plugs into the PDU first during install, and what mistake do people make?
Insert the male C14 into the PDU or UPS outlet, then push your device cord into the female C13; the common error is reversing the ends.
When should the 16 AWG SJT cord be replaced in a 13A server load?
Replace if the jacket shows cracking, the connectors feel loose, or the cord exceeds its 105°C rating during sustained 13A / 250V operation.
