Application Notes
This IEC C20 splitter cord is designed to distribute power from a single IEC 60320 C20 inlet to 2 IEC320 C19 connectors. They are typically used in higher-density IT environments, data centers, and industrial applications where equipment requires greater current capacity than standard C14-based assemblies.
The total connected load must not exceed the rating of the C20 inlet, the cable assembly, or the upstream branch circuit. Always verify equipment nameplate ratings and confirm compliance with applicable electrical standards prior to deployment.
Product FAQs
What is an IEC C20 splitter cord?
An IEC C20 splitter cord features one IEC C20 male connector (inlet) that splits into two or more IEC320 C19 connectors. It allows multiple devices to receive power from a single IEC C19 outlet or compatible high-amperage PDU/UPS receptacle.
What female connector options are available?
Depending on the configuration, IEC C20 splitter cords may be available with IEC C13, IEC C15, IEC C19, or IEC C21 female connectors. The appropriate connector type should be selected based on equipment inlet style, temperature requirements, and total current draw.
Can I use a C20 splitter cord with a UPS or PDU?
Yes. IEC C20 splitter cords are commonly used with UPS systems and rack-mounted PDUs that provide IEC C19 outlets. Confirm that the upstream outlet and circuit are rated to handle the combined load of all connected devices.
Are there load limitations?
Yes. The total current draw of all connected equipment must remain within the rating of the IEC C20 inlet and the cable assembly. Exceeding rated capacity may result in overheating or circuit protection trips. Always validate amperage requirements before installation.
