ACT-netkabel C20–C21 IEC60320 rood 2 m, 16 A 250 V

The ACT powercord with IEC60320 C20 to C21 connectors is a red 2 m mains cable designed for powering high-current IT equipment such as rack servers and UPS devices. It connects equipment with a C21 device coupler to a C20 inlet and is rated for 16 A at 250 V, with the C21 connector offering high-temperature resistance up to 155°C.

Advantages

This cable provides a standardized IEC60320 connection for professional IT environments, combining a compact 2 m length with a clear red color for easy identification in dense rack installations. The C21 connector's high-temperature resistance increases safety and reliability under elevated operating temperatures.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

The cable is intended for appliances that accept IEC60320 C21 device couplers and a C20 inlet; it will not fit equipment using other inlet types or regional mains plugs without adapters. It is a single-phase, non-detachable fixed-length cord and may be unsuitable where longer runs, detachable leads, or different connector types are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect both the C20 inlet and C21 device coupler for damage or debris before use. Insert the C20 plug into the corresponding inlet and the C21 connector into the device coupler until fully seated. Ensure connections are secure and not under mechanical strain; route the cable to avoid sharp bends and heat sources. Disconnect power before unplugging the cable and handle connectors by the insulated bodies.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this IEC60320 C20–C21 cable for short rack connections in data centers and network cabinets where a visible red lead helps identification; avoid routing near high-temperature sources despite the C21's elevated temperature rating, and replace the cable if any damage to insulation or connectors is visible.
