Application Notes
IEC 60320 C20 to C13 Yellow power cords connect a 20-amp PDU outlet to standard C14-inlet equipment while providing a visual system for identifying redundant power paths. Color-coded cords allow data center and operations teams to instantly distinguish which feed a cord belongs to — reducing the risk of accidental disconnects and making dual-feed verification faster during rack servicing.
Using Yellow cords for a dedicated power feed creates an at-a-glance reference that improves operational accuracy in high-density environments. This is especially valuable in colocation and managed hosting environments where multiple tenants or circuits share the same rack space.
C20 to C13 Yellow cords are ideal for data centers, colocation facilities, and enterprise server rooms where redundant power path identification is as important as reliable connectivity. They are compatible with any rack-mounted equipment using a C14 inlet, including servers, switches, storage arrays, and KVM units.
Product FAQs
Why use Yellow power cords?
Color-coded power cords make it easy to identify redundant power paths at a glance. Using Yellow cords for a specific power feed helps data center and operations teams quickly trace circuits, verify dual-feed connections, and reduce the risk of accidental disconnects during rack servicing.
What equipment uses a C13 connector?
The C13 connector is one of the most widely used power connectors in IT equipment. It is compatible with any device that has a C14 inlet, including servers, network switches, storage arrays, KVM switches, and many other rack-mounted devices.
Why use a C20 plug with a C13 connector?
A C20-to-C13 cord allows you to power standard C14-inlet equipment directly from a 20-amp PDU outlet. This is common in data centers where PDUs are wired with 20-amp circuits and operators need to connect a mix of equipment — some requiring 20-amp feeds and some using standard C14 inlets.
