  • Locking C13 connector prevents accidental disconnection during operation
  • 10 ft length provides flexible placement for rack or desk setups
  • 18 AWG 100 % copper conductors deliver reliable power transmission
  • ETL listed and VW-1 flame rated for verified safety compliance
  • REACH and RoHS compliant materials reduce environmental impact

10 ft Locking Power Cord

This 10 ft computer power cord connects a standard NEMA 5-15P wall outlet to a locking C13 inlet on servers or network equipment. The locking connector prevents accidental disconnection in rack environments. It is rated for 125 V and 10 A using 18 AWG copper conductors. ETL listed components certify safety and performance compliance.

Replaces Standard C13 Leads

The locking C13 end replaces a non-locking C13 cable where vibration or cable management could unseat the plug. The jump is worth it when uptime matters more than the slight extra insertion force. TAA compliance suits government or regulated procurement. REACH and RoHS adherence supports environmental disposal requirements.

Sustained Load Reliability

100 percent copper wiring is continuity tested to maintain conductivity over long runs. Temperature chamber testing confirms stable operation across varied ambient conditions. VW-1 flame rating adds fire resistance for dense cabinet deployments. The cord delivers consistent current without the voltage drop seen in thinner gauge alternatives.

Questions about this item

Will the 10 ft length reach a floor-mounted PDU from a standard rack shelf?

The cord is 10 ft (3 m) long, giving enough slack to route from a wall outlet or floor PDU up to equipment on a typical rack shelf without tension.

How do I engage the locking C13 so it does not pull loose?

Insert the C13 fully into the IEC inlet until the spring-loaded latch clicks; the latch hooks over the inlet flange and must be depressed to release.

When should I replace this cord based on the 18 AWG wire rating?

Inspect annually; replace if the jacket shows cracks, the blades are bent, or the locking latch no longer holds securely under the 10 A 125 V load.
