SMUGDESK C14 to C5 IEC320 Power Adapter

SKU CH-B17X-227H8

Converts a C14 male plug to a C5 female socket for connecting devices to PDU or UPS outlets

  • Connect C5 devices to C14 outlets via IEC320 standard
  • Compact body fits tight racks and narrow power strips
  • Copper contacts give stable current with low resistance
  • Flame-retardant housing supports continuous operation safely
  • Plug-and-play design needs no tools or extra power

C14 to C5 IEC320 adapter

This compact IEC320 C14 to C5 power adapter converts a standard C14 male outlet into a C5 female socket. It lets devices fitted with a C5 power inlet connect to PDUs, UPS units, server power supplies and other C14 sources. The plug-and-play design needs no tools or external power, making it suitable for notebooks, monitors, televisions and small computers in server rooms, offices or home setups.

Practical limits of the IEC320 interface

The adapter only changes the physical connector shape; it does not alter voltage or current. You must stay within the rated voltage and current of your device and the maximum load capacity of the adapter itself. High-conductivity copper terminals keep contact resistance low, while the flame-retardant housing supports long-term continuous operation, but the IEC320 standard still defines the electrical boundaries you cannot exceed.

Replaces custom cables or mismatched leads

Instead of sourcing a dedicated C5-to-C14 cable or rewiring equipment, this single adapter bridges the gap. The jump is worth it when you have C5-input hardware that must draw power from existing C14 outlets on rack PDUs, UPS systems or server chassis. It is not for buyers who need voltage conversion, higher current capacity than the adapter allows, or a different connector family altogether.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this adapter if my device uses a C5 plug and the power source has a C14 outlet?

Yes, this unit converts a C14 male input to a C5 female output so the C5 cable plugs directly into it.

What does the IEC320 rating tell me about daily use?

It confirms the adapter follows the international IEC 320 standard for C14 and C5 connectors, ensuring proper fit and current handling.

Does the C14-to-C5 interface limit the power I can draw?

The adapter passes whatever the C14 source and C5 device are rated for; it does not change voltage or increase the maximum load.
