Cavo di alimentazione ACT C14 IEC Lock+ Dual Locking - C15 IEC Lock+ blu 3 m, PC3878

ACT IEC Lock power cable with a C14 Dual Locking IEC Lock+ connector on the PDU side and a C15 IEC Lock+ connector on the equipment side is a 3 m blue locking mains lead rated 250 V, 10 A. The C14 side locks at the top and side to reduce the chance of accidental disconnection from the PDU, while the C15 connector is high-temperature resistant up to 120°C. The universal Lock+ mechanism works with major PDU brands without requiring the PDU to have its own locking hardware.

Advantages

The cable prevents accidental release at both ends, lowering the risk of equipment shutdown, data loss or damage caused by unexpected power loss. It is compatible with a wide range of PDUs and rack equipment and requires no tools for installation. The available color options help with outlet identification in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Rack-mounted servers and blade systems
• UPS units and power distribution units (PDUs)
• Network switches, storage arrays and critical network equipment
• Data center and telecommunications racks where locked power connections are required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for AC mains connections up to 250 V and 10 A; it is not suitable for higher-voltage or higher-current applications. If your equipment requires a different connector type, higher current rating, or a locking standard other than IEC C14/C15, choose a cable that matches those specific requirements.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Rated voltage and current: 250 V, 10 A
• Connectors: IEC C14 Dual Locking (male) to IEC C15 Lock+ (female)
• Locking mechanism: Lock+ dual locking (top and side on PDU end)
• Temperature resistance (C15): up to 120°C
• Conductor size: 1.0 mm²
• Color: blue

How to use

Insert the IEC C15 connector into the equipment inlet and the IEC C14 connector into the PDU outlet until the locking mechanism engages. Confirm the dual lock on the PDU side engages at both the top and the side for secure retention. To remove, release the Lock+ mechanism according to the connector’s release method and withdraw the plug. No tools are required for installation or removal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment accepts an IEC C15 inlet and your PDU accepts an IEC C14 plug
• Confirm the 250 V / 10 A rating matches your power requirements
• Ensure 3 m cable length and blue color suit your rack layout and identification needs

Recommendations

Use the cable in rack and data center environments where preventing accidental disconnection is important; periodically inspect connectors for wear and ensure the Lock+ mechanism is functioning correctly.
