- 1-foot length keeps rack wiring tidy and free of excess cable loops
- Fire-retardant jacket and copper conductors deliver reliable AC power in closed cabinets
- IEC-standard C5 and C7 connectors ensure secure fit for notebook adapters and SFF PCs
- Compact form factor saves space inside server racks and equipment cabinets
Y-Splitter for PDU Power Distribution
This SMUGDESK power splitter cord converts a single C14 male input into dual C5 and C7 outputs. It is designed for server racks and equipment cabinets where PDU outlet space is limited. The Y-splitter allows two devices with different IEC connectors to draw power from one port, simplifying internal wiring for administrators managing dense hardware deployments.
Fire-Retardant Jacket for Cabinet Thermals
A durable fire-retardant outer jacket and high-conductivity copper conductors provide stable AC power delivery inside closed cabinets. The materials resist heat and abrasion common in rack environments while maintaining secure electrical contact. The short 1-foot length removes excess cable loops that can obstruct airflow or create clutter in tight spaces.
Replaces Separate C5 and C7 Cables
This cord replaces the need for two individual power cables running from a PDU to devices such as notebook adapters, small-form-factor PCs or monitors. The upgrade is worth it when a rack has limited C14 outlets but must support mixed C5 and C7 equipment simultaneously. It does not increase the available current; total load must stay within the cable and PDU port ratings.

Questions about this item
How do I connect this splitter inside a server rack and what step is often missed?
Plug the C14 male end into the PDU outlet then attach the C5 and C7 ends to each device; the step often missed is verifying that the combined draw of both devices stays within the PDU port rating.
What maintenance or replacement will this cord need over time?
Inspect the fire-retardant jacket and connector pins periodically; replace the cord if the jacket shows cracking, discoloration from heat, or if either C5 or C7 connector becomes loose or corroded.
What limit appears first when this splitter runs continuously under load?
The maximum rated current of the cable and the PDU port is the first limit; exceeding it will cause overheating or tripping before any other factor becomes an issue.
