5 ft C14-C15 PDU jumper for hot gear
This red 5 ft cord connects a rack PDU or C13/C14 outlet to equipment that uses a high-temperature C16 inlet. The notched C15 end is the IEC 60320 higher-temperature connector specified for network switches and other devices that run hot. It is built with 14 AWG copper and an SJT jacket rated 105C / 300V.
Sustained 15 A / 250 V load handling
The 14 AWG construction is rated for continuous 15 A at 250 V, matching the higher-draw tier in the gauge guide above 13 A and below 20 A. The SJT jacket maintains its 105C rating under steady server or PDU loads without the derating seen on lighter cords. UL Listing and CSA certification (file E210037) confirm the rating for constant operation.
Verify C16 inlet and PDU outlet before ordering
Confirm the target device has a C16 inlet — the notched C15 plug will not seat in a standard C14 inlet used by most PCs. Also check that your rack PDU or power strip presents a C13/C14 outlet for the C14 plug. The red jacket helps circuit identification but does not change electrical compatibility.

Questions about this item
Does the 14 AWG SJT cable run hot when it carries 15 A all day?
The SJT jacket is rated for 105 °C continuous operation, so the cord handles its full 15 A / 250 V rating without overheating.
What must my rack PDU or outlet provide for the C14 plug to connect?
A standard IEC 60320 C13 or C14 socket — the C14 plug on this cord inserts directly into any C13 outlet or C14 inlet.
Will the notched C15 connector fit the C16 inlet on my older network switch?
Yes — the C15 is the high-temperature mate for a C16 inlet, so it plugs straight into legacy gear that uses the C16 socket.
