A NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C19 power cord is a cable that connects a device with a NEMA 5-15P plug (the standard three-prong plug used in North America) to a device with an IEC 60320 C19 socket (a common type of socket used for IT equipment)
some of its features
- It is typically rated for 15 amps and 125 volts.
- It is often used to power IT equipment such as servers, routers, and switches.
- It is not for outdoor use.
- It is important to use a power cord that is rated for the amount of power that your device will draw. Using an under-rated power cord could be a fire hazard.
Components
- NEMA 5-15P plug: This is the standard three-prong plug used in North American households. It is rated for 15 amps and 125 volts AC.
- IEC 60320 C19 connector: This is a three-prong connector with a larger size and keyway compared to the C13 connector, commonly found on high-power devices like servers, workstations, networking equipment, and some industrial equipment. It is rated for 16 amps and 250 volts AC. The keyway prevents accidental disconnection and ensures proper grounding.
- Cable: The cable connecting the two plugs is typically 14-gauge or 12-gauge wire and can vary in length depending on your needs. It is often made from heat-resistant materials like PVC or Teflon to handle the higher power demands of the connected devices.
Applications
Due to its higher amperage rating and larger connector size, the NEMA 5-15P to IEC 60320 C19 AC power cord is suitable for powering various high-power devices, including:
- Servers and workstations: These components generate significant heat and require cables that can handle the increased power draw.
- Networking equipment: Switches, routers, and other network devices often have C19 connectors for reliable power delivery.
- Audio/video equipment: Professional audio amplifiers, power conditioners, and other high-wattage AV equipment may utilize C19 connectors.
- Industrial equipment: Certain industrial machinery and tools with higher power requirements might use C19 connectors.
Additional notes:
- This type of power cord is sometimes called a “server power cord” or a “data center power cord.”
- It is crucial to use the correct cord for your specific application to ensure safety and prevent damage to your equipment.
