Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary application for an IEC C14 to C13 power cord?
This cable functions as a power jumper cord, most commonly used in IT data centers and equipment racks to connect enterprise hardware (servers, switches) directly to a rack PDU or UPS outlet.
Are your C14 to C13 power cords certified for European and global markets?
Yes. Our assemblies are manufactured to meet VDE, CE, and RoHS standards for European compliance, with UL-compliant raw cable options available for North American clients.
Can we customize the cable length and wire cross-section (mm²)?
Absolutely. As a factory-direct OEM supplier, we offer flexible lengths (from 0.3m short jumpers to 5m+ cords) and wire gauges including 3G0.75mm², 3G1.0mm², and 3G1.5mm² depending on your current load requirements.
What is the typical lead time and MOQ for OEM orders?
We offer flexible MOQs to accommodate initial pilot builds as well as bulk production. Typical manufacturing lead times range from 2 to 4 weeks upon specification sign-off.
Overview and Application Notes
Overview The IEC C14 to IEC C13 power cord assembly is a foundational connection solution designed for modern data centers, IT server racks, and industrial equipment. Featuring a molded IEC 60320 C14 male plug on one end and a C13 female receptacle on the other, this cable provides reliable AC power pass-through from Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) to servers, networking switches, and enterprise hardware. At EDOM Electronics, we deliver factory-direct OEM manufacturing with full VDE and CE compliance, offering customizable cable lengths, wire conductor cross-sections (3G0.75mm², 3G1.0mm², 3G1.5mm²), and outer jackets (PVC, Rubber, PUR) for distributors and electronic equipment manufacturers worldwide.
Application Notes
-
PDU & Rack Cable Management: Short-length custom options (e.g., 0.5m to 1.5m) minimize cable clutter behind high-density server racks, improving airflow and cooling efficiency in data centers.
-
Current & Thermal Management: Engineered to handle up to 10A/250V AC continuously under standard European IEC regulations (15A/250V options available for North American UL markets). High-purity tinned or bare copper conductors minimize thermal buildup during continuous load operations.
-
Strain Relief & Durability: Heavy-duty molded strain relief handles repeated insertion cycles during rack maintenance and hardware upgrades without internal core wire fracture.
