About Power Cables for specific scenarios and applications
Specialty type power cables for specific circumstances.
Some circumstances require specific solutions, and power cords are no exception. We offer a handful of unique power cables that are designed for specific use cases. This includes cables with specific compositions for use in public and confined spaces, as well as cables that are tested to provide power to life sustaining equipment in patient vicinity. As always, if you cannot find a specific product that you are looking for, reach out to our veteran sales team.
Looking for standard power cords
If you are not looking for these specific power cable variations, and just need a standard/general use power cord you should start with our home page or navigate to the specific product line in the navigation header. These products are manufactured to stringent standards and approvals, which make them more expensive than a standard power cord.

- 250 volts
On 83 of the cords here (55%)
The IEC 60320 C14 is a grounded 3 Wire Plug rated up to 250V and 15 Amps. The C14 mates with a C13 outlet, typically found on Data Center/IT specific PDUs (Power Distribution Unit). The most common configuration for a C14 is in a jumper cable scenario, providing power from a PDU to IT Equipment.

On 69 of the cords here (46%)
The IEC 60320 C13 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 15 Amps. The C13 mates with a C14 inlet, and is commonly used in a jumper cable scenario in IT Installations providing power from a PDU to a server, router, switch or other computing device. Most people know the C13 as 'the thing that plugs into my computer' because it is the standard connector used to power most desktop computers. In a desktop computer application, the most common cable is the NEMA 5-15P to C13, which connects your standard North American wall outlet to a desktop computer.

IEC 60320 C15
- 15 Amps
- 125/250V
On 25 of the cords here (17%)
The IEC 320 C15 Power cable is used to power electrical devices that emit so much heat (intentionally or unintentionally) that they require a power connection that can withstand more than the 70 °C (158 °F) temperature rating of the standard C13. In combination with the C14 plug type, the use cases of this high-temperature cable are almost exclusively data center environments. This cable would most likely be found supplying a High-Powered Switch power from a rack-mounted PDU power supply source. If your equipment has a IEC320 C16 Inlet it should only be mated with the matching C15-Power Connector.

The IEC 60320 C19 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 20 Amps. The C19 mates with a C20 inlet, and is commonly used in a jumper cable scenario in IT Installations providing power from a PDU to a server, router, switch or other computing device. The C19 is typically used in high powered blade server chassis, large network routers, and other IT equipment that draws more power than a standard C13 can accommodate.
