Application Notes
Use P-Lock C14 to C13 power cords to prevent inadvertent disconnects. The P-Lock C14 plug is secured by the notched C13 outlets found on most ServerTech, Chatsworth (CPI), Raritan, Vertiv, Knurr, and NextGen Eaton PDUs. These cords also lock into Eaton C39 receptacles, extending compatibility across a broad range of rack power infrastructure.
The C13 connector on the equipment end delivers power to any standard C14-equipped device — including 1U servers, switches, routers, and storage units. P-Lock secures the cord at the PDU side; for added security at the equipment end, pairing with a StayOnline SecureSleeve will lock the C13 connector in place on any standard C14 inlet.
C14 to C13 P-Lock cords are well suited for data centers, colocation facilities, and mission-critical rack environments running P-Lock compatible PDUs where PDU-side connection security is required.
Product FAQs
What is a P-Lock C14 to C13 power cord?
A P-Lock C14 to C13 power cord has a P-Lock C14 plug that secures to notched C13 outlets on compatible PDUs, preventing inadvertent disconnects at the power source. The C13 connector on the equipment end delivers power to any standard C14-equipped device.
Which PDUs are compatible with P-Lock C14 cords?
P-Lock cords are compatible with PDUs fitted with notched C13 outlets, including models from ServerTech, Chatsworth (CPI), Raritan, Vertiv, Knurr, and NextGen Eaton. These cords also lock into Eaton C39 receptacles.
Does P-Lock lock on both ends of the cord?
P-Lock secures the C14 plug at the PDU side. To also secure the C13 connector end, pair the cord with a StayOnline SecureSleeve, which locks the C13 connector in place on any standard C14 inlet.
What devices use a C14 to C13 P-Lock power cord?
These cords are commonly used with servers, switches, routers, storage units, and other C14-equipped equipment where an inadvertent power disconnect would cause downtime, data loss, or safety concerns.
