RS PRO IEC C13 x 2 Socket to IEC C14 Plug Power Cord, 2.5m

RS Pro IEC C14 to 2 x IEC C13 ‘Y ‘Junction Extension Cord. From RS Pro a high quality and durable ‘Y ‘ junction power extension cord for connecting two computer appliances with C14 inlets to a single power input cord. This extension cord is fully equipped with an IEC C14 type male plug on one end and two IEC C13 female sockets on the other. The cable features integrated strain reliefs that provide additional protection and support to the connectors and protects them against damage from excessive bending. What is a Power Cable assembly?. Power cable assemblies are electrical cables that are pre-terminated with a plug or socket connector. Power cable assemblies can be terminated with connectors on both ends of the cable, as in this case, or just one. Depending on the application, there are various types to suit a wide range of requirements. What are IEC C13 and IEC C14 Connectors?. IEC C13 sockets and IEC C14 plug connectors have 3 pins, a rated current of 10 A and a maximum temperature rating of 70°C, and are sometimes referred to as ‘cold connectors ‘. These connectors conform to a set of specifications called IEC-60320 laid down by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) to make sure they meet common global design standards. Features and Benefits. Y junction design with 1 x IEC C14 and 2 x IEC C13 connectors Flexible H05VV-F harmonised cable with stranded wire cores and PVC insulation and sheath Rated at 250 V ac, 10 A maximum Fully moulded connector design for strength and durability Reliable integrated strain relief for connection support and protection Allows 2 devices with IEC C14 inlets to be connected to one power cord Reduces cable clutter. What is This Cable Assembly Used With?. These IEC C13 to C14 Y junction or splitter extension leads are used in Class I computer equipment for interconnecting and powering computers and peripherals such as monitors and printers and for extending an existing power connection. The single male C14 connector plugs directly into a power cord while each of the female C13 sockets plug into individual devices that have an IEC C14 inlet. These IEC extension power cords are commonly used in data centres for providing connections between PDU (Power Distribution Units) and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) devices and equipment with a C14 input.
