Application Notes
IEC 60320 C20 to C19 P-Lock power cords prevent inadvertent disconnects by securing the C20 plug to notched C19 outlets on compatible PDUs. ServerTech, Chatsworth (CPI), Raritan, Vertiv, Knurr, and NextGen Eaton PDUs are commonly fitted with these outlets. P-Lock cords also lock into Eaton C39 receptacles, extending compatibility across a broad range of rack power infrastructure.
P-Lock utilizes the identical locking mechanism as SecureLock power cords, making the two lines guaranteed interchangeable in any deployment. P-Lock secures the cord at the PDU side; for added security at the equipment end, pairing with a StayOnline SecureSleeve will lock the C19 connector in place on any standard C20 inlet.
C20 to C19 P-Lock cords are well suited for data centers, colocation facilities, and rack environments running ServerTech, Chatsworth, Raritan, Vertiv, Knurr, or Eaton PDUs where PDU-side connection security and uptime are critical requirements.
Product FAQs
What is a P-Lock power cord?
A P-Lock power cord has a C20 plug with a retention system that secures to the notched C19 outlets found on compatible PDUs, preventing inadvertent disconnects at the power source end. P-Lock cords also lock into Eaton C39 receptacles.
Which PDUs are compatible with P-Lock cords?
P-Lock cords are compatible with PDUs fitted with notched C19 outlets, including models from ServerTech, Chatsworth (CPI), Raritan, Vertiv, Knurr, and NextGen Eaton.
Does P-Lock lock on both ends of the cord?
P-Lock secures the C20 plug at the PDU side. To also secure the C19 connector end, pair the cord with a StayOnline SecureSleeve, which locks the C19 connector in place on any standard C20 inlet.
Are P-Lock cords compatible with SecureLock power cords?
Yes. P-Lock power cords utilize the identical locking mechanism as SecureLock power cords and are guaranteed to be interchangeable.
