cable leader 14 awg 15a 250v power cord (iec320 c14 to iec320 c15) ul listed (15 foot (1 pack))

The Cable Leader 15ft IEC C14 to C15 power cord is a heavy duty PDU jumper for high-temperature equipment. The C14 plug connects to a rack PDU outlet, power strip or C13/C14 power source; the notched C15 connector delivers power to equipment that uses a high-temperature C16 inlet - common on network switches, servers and other gear that runs hot.

Why C15? The C15 connector is the higher-temperature version of the standard C13. Equipment that generates more heat (managed switches, storage arrays, server cabinets) often requires a C15/C16 connection that a normal C13 cord is not rated for. This cord gives you the correct, safe connection.

Built with 14 AWG, 3-conductor copper wire and a SJT jacket, it is rated 15A/250V (105C, 300V cable rating) for demanding rack and PDU loads. Fully molded C14 and C15 connectors with strain relief and a grounded 3-wire design keep the connection secure. The color-coded black jacket helps you trace circuits, phases or zones in a busy rack.

Where it is used: rack-mount PDUs and power strips feeding network switches, servers, storage and AV equipment in data centers, server rooms and labs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between C15 and C13?
A: C15 is the higher-temperature version of the C13 connector, with a notch so it only fits a C16 high-temp inlet. Equipment that runs hot often requires C15 instead of C13.
Q: What plugs into what?
A: The C14 plug goes into a PDU or C13 outlet; the C15 connector plugs onto the equipment's C16 inlet.
Q: What is it rated for?
A: heavy duty 14 AWG, 15A/250V, SJT jacket, grounded 3-conductor, 105C / 300V cable rating.
Q: Is it safe and certified?
A: Yes - UL Listed and CSA certified (file E210037) and RoHS compliant.
Q: What lengths and colors are available?
A: Multiple lengths in blue, green, red, white and black, so you can color-code your rack.
