Product Information
Full details
The ACT IEC Lock Power Cord is designed for IT professionals and data center operators who require absolute power stability for mission-critical equipment. This 1-meter cable features a patented IEC Lock mechanism on the C13 connector, which prevents accidental power loss caused by vibrations or cable strain, ensuring consistent uptime for servers and PDUs. While it offers superior security, the cable length is restricted to 1 meter, which may necessitate careful rack planning for larger equipment configurations.

FAQs
Can I use this cable with any PDU?
Yes, the C14 end is standard and compatible with all major PDU brands and server power supplies.
What is the maximum current capacity?
The cable is rated for a maximum load of 10A.
Is this cable shielded against electrical interference?
This is a professional-grade power cord built for power delivery; it is designed to meet standard safety and performance specifications for electrical power distribution.
Does the lock work on both ends of the cable?
No, the IEC Lock mechanism is integrated only into the C13 (female) end.
What happens if I try to pull the cable out without unlocking it?
The cable will remain locked in place. Pulling forcefully without engaging the release mechanism can cause damage to the locking clip or the device's inlet.
Troubleshooting
Connector does not lock into the inlet
Verify that the inlet is a standard C14 type and ensure there is no debris or obstruction inside the device port.
Difficulty disconnecting the cable
Ensure you are fully engaging the release mechanism on the locking connector before pulling; do not use excessive force as this may damage the inlet.
