ACT netkabel C14 IEC Lock+ Dual Locking - C15 IEC Lock+ zwart 3 m, PC3876

ACT IEC Lock power cable with a C14 Lock+ (dual locking) connector and a C15 Lock+ connector on the equipment end is a 3 m black mains cable designed to prevent accidental disconnection in data centre and IT environments. It provides a secure, tool-free locking mechanism that is compatible with major PDU brands and a C15 high-temperature rated connector for use with equipment that requires elevated temperature tolerance.

Advantages

The cable locks at both ends to reduce the risk of accidental release from equipment and PDUs, minimizing potential downtime and damage. The dual-locking C14 secures both at the top and side, while the C15 is rated to withstand temperatures up to 120°C. The universal locking mechanism requires no PDU-specific hardware or tools and the cable is available in multiple colours for easy identification.

Suitable for

• Servers and rack-mounted equipment
• Power distribution units (PDUs) in data centres
• Network switches and telecommunications gear
• Critical systems where secure mains connections are required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for use beyond its rated electrical limits (10 A, 250 V~). It is designed for IEC C14/C15 applications; it will not fit devices that require other connector types. For installations needing higher current capacity or specific certification beyond the stated ratings, choose a cable specified for those requirements.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Rated voltage/current: 250 V~, 10 A
• Connectors: IEC C14 (dual locking) to IEC C15
• Connector locking: Dual locking on C14 (top and side), locking on C15
• Temperature resistance (C15): up to 120°C
• Conductor cross-section: 1.0 mm²
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the IEC C15 connector into the equipment inlet and the IEC C14 connector into the PDU or mains inlet until the locking mechanism clicks into place. No tools are required to engage or release the locks; to disconnect, depress the locking release and withdraw the connector. Use the coloured options to match or label circuits for easy identification when managing multiple power leads.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure device inlets accept IEC C15 and PDU/device accepts IEC C14 connections
• Confirm the 10 A/250 V~ rating meets your equipment power requirements
• Check if the C15 high-temperature rating (120°C) is required for your application
• Choose cable length and colour appropriate for rack layout and identification

Recommendations

Use this ACT C14 Lock+ to C15 Lock+ power cable for secure, locked connections in racks and PDUs where accidental disconnection would cause service interruption; routinely inspect connectors for wear and ensure connectors are fully engaged before powering critical equipment.
