Application Notes
IEC 60320 Angled power cords are designed for high-density rack deployments where cable management at one or both ends is a priority. Angled connectors redirect the cord parallel to the PDU face or equipment chassis rather than projecting straight outward, reducing the clearance required and minimizing mechanical stress on the connectors over time.
The angle orientation at each end can be selected independently to suit the specific rack layout and cable routing requirements of the installation. This flexibility makes angled C14-to-C13 cords especially useful in tight spaces where straight cords would create excessive cable bulk or limit airflow behind the rack.
Conductor gauge affects both the current-carrying capacity and the flexibility of the cord. A heavier gauge supports higher amperage loads and is appropriate for demanding applications, while a lighter gauge offers greater flexibility and is well-suited for lower-load devices and tight routing environments.
Product FAQs
What is the advantage of angled connectors?
Angled connectors route the cord parallel to the PDU face or equipment chassis rather than projecting straight outward. This reduces the depth required at the connection point, improves cable routing in tight spaces, and reduces mechanical stress on the connectors — extending service life in high-density rack environments.
How do I choose the right conductor gauge?
Conductor gauge determines the current-carrying capacity of the cord. A heavier gauge (lower AWG number) supports higher amperage loads, while a lighter gauge (higher AWG number) is more flexible and suited for lower-load devices. Always select a gauge that meets or exceeds the amperage requirements of your circuit and connected equipment.
