Application Notes
IEC 60320 C20 to C19 power cords are rack jumper cords designed to connect high-current equipment to a PDU or UPS in data center and server room environments. The C20 plug on one end mates with a standard C19 outlet commonly found on rack PDUs and UPS systems, while the C19 connector on the other end delivers power to equipment with a standard C20 inlet — including blade servers, high-density switches, and storage arrays.
Black power cords are the standard choice for data center and server room deployments, providing a clean, unobtrusive appearance that complements most rack equipment and accessories.
C20 to C19 cords are ideal for high-density data center deployments, blade server chassis, large UPS systems, and high-current PDU distribution where reliable, high-current power delivery is required.
Product FAQs
What is a C20 to C19 power cord used for?
C20 to C19 cords are rack jumper cords. The C20 plug mates with a C19 outlet on a PDU or UPS, and the C19 connector delivers power to equipment with a C20 inlet — such as blade servers, high-density switches, and storage arrays.
What is the difference between a C19 and a C13 connector?
The C19 is a higher-current connector rated for up to 20A and is used with equipment that requires more power than a standard C13 cord can deliver. C13 cords are rated for up to 15A and are used with standard servers and networking equipment.
Is a C20 to C19 power cord grounded?
Yes. The C20 plug includes a protective earth pin that carries ground from the source through the cord to the equipment.
