The Cable Leader 2 ft IEC C14 to C13 power extension cord adds reach to any C13/C14 power connection. The male C14 plug goes into a rack PDU, UPS or C13 outlet; the female C13 socket accepts your existing power cord - so you can place servers, switches and rack gear exactly where you need them.
Built with heavy-duty 14 AWG, 3-conductor grounded copper and an SJT jacket, it is rated 15A / 250V (105C, 300V cable rating) for demanding rack and PDU loads. Fully molded C14 and connectors with strain relief keep the connection secure. The color-coded blue jacket helps you organize circuits in a crowded cabinet.
Choosing the right gauge: 18 AWG handles up to 10A for light electronics; 16 AWG up to 13A for computers and appliances; 14 AWG up to 15A for servers, PDUs and higher-draw equipment; 12 AWG up to 20A for heavy-duty and 20A circuits.
