Cavo di alimentazione ACT C20–C21 IEC60320 blu 16A 250V 2,5 m

The ACT power cord C20–C21 IEC60320 in blue is a 2.5 m mains cable designed to connect high-power IT equipment. It links IEC C20 outlets to devices with IEC C21 inlets and is rated for 16 A at 250 V. The C21 connector is specified to resist high temperatures up to 155°C, making the cable suitable for professional server racks, UPS units and network hardware that require IEC C20/C21 cabling.

Advantages

This power cord combines a standard IEC60320 C20 to C21 connection with a 2.5 m length and a blue jacket for easy identification in cabling bundles. The C21 end’s high-temperature resistance (up to 155°C) improves safety in high-load or warm environments. The cable is built with 2.5 mm² conductors to support the rated 16 A current at 250 V.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

The cable is intended for devices with IEC C21 inlets and will not fit equipment using other inlet types (for example C13/C14, C19/C20 without a matching inlet). It is also not suitable where local regulations or equipment require different conductor sizes, voltages, or lower/higher current ratings than 16 A at 250 V.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both the power source and the target device accept the C20 and C21 connectors respectively. With power switched off, insert the C20 end into the outlet or PDU and the C21 end into the device’s inlet until secure. After connections are checked, switch on power and verify the device is receiving mains power. Inspect the cable periodically for damage and avoid routing it near sharp edges or hot surfaces.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the cable in professional IT environments where matching C20/C21 connectors are required; avoid bending near connector ends, keep the cable away from heat sources, and replace it if any insulation or conductor damage is visible.
