What this cord is and who it fits
The Tripp Lite P032-E03 is a three-foot power extension cord with an IEC C13 plug on one end and a locking C20 connector on the other. It connects computers, servers, monitors or network gear to a PDU or UPS in a rack or workstation. The 14-gauge cable is rated for 250 V AC at 15 A, also covering 120 V and 230 V supplies. It suits installers who need a short, secure link in lower-amp environments.
What to verify before ordering
Confirm that your equipment has a C14 inlet and that the PDU or UPS presents a C19 or C39 outlet compatible with the P-Lock C20 plug. The cord only works where a locking connection is accepted; standard C19 outlets will not engage the latch. Check that 15 amps at 250 volts covers the load you intend to run. Ensure the three-foot reach matches the distance between device and power strip.
Build quality and daily implications
The cord uses a 14-gauge conductor inside a black jacket rated to IEC 60320 standards. The P-Lock Lite C20 end clicks into Eaton G4 and newer PDUs, resisting accidental pulls that cause downtime. Its short length keeps rack cable management tidy without leaving slack. The locking mechanism adds a tactile step during installation but removes cleanly when released. No moving parts or active electronics are present.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the Tripp Lite P032-E03 and is any extra hardware required?
The box contains one 3 ft locking power extension cord with a C13 connector on one end and a C20 connector on the other. No additional hardware is needed to connect a server or network device to a compatible P-Lock PDU outlet.
Which cord length should I choose for a rack-mounted server-to-PDU run?
The 3 ft (0.9 m) length is designed for short, tidy connections between a device and a PDU inside a crowded rack enclosure, reducing cable slack and clutter.
How does the 15 A / 250 V AC rating apply when the cord is used on a 120 V AC circuit?
On a 120 V AC circuit the cord supports up to 15 A, matching the 14 AWG conductor rating and the IEC 60320 C13/C20 connector limits for North American power distribution.
