Cyprus wall plug to IEC 60320 power cords

The wall plug used in Cyprus on one end and the IEC 60320 inlet on your equipment on the other — C13, C15, C5, C7 or C19. The cord an OEM ships in the box with equipment sold into Cyprus, and the one an office, lab or shop floor plugs straight into the wall; every cord here carries the approval Cyprus requires.

Data center power cords for Cyprus

IEC 60320 jumpers — a C14 or C20 plug into the PDU, a C13, C15 or C19 connector into the server, switch or storage. For most countries these are our global cords: one part number carries the marks Cyprus requires, so a data center operator deploys the same cord in every region.

Not on the record for Cyprus yet

  • Industrial cords — IEC 60309 pin-and-sleeve cords, 16–32 A — the international industrial connector, dual-rated for IEC and North American circuits.

We list a cord here only when our certification record shows it is approved for use in Cyprus or needs no national approval there. Need one of these kinds for Cyprus? Ask us — we quote the cord and file the approval.
