Secure locking power cord for rack equipment

The Cable Leader 6 ft NEMA L5-30P to L5-30R locking power cord connects servers, PDUs and similar equipment to a matching locking outlet. Its twist-lock plug secures the connection so it cannot be pulled loose in a rack or under vibration. Heavy-duty 10 AWG copper conductors carry 30 A at 125 V inside an SJTW jacket rated to 105 °C and 300 V.

Check outlet type and circuit rating

Verify that your power source provides a NEMA L5-30R receptacle and that the circuit is rated for 30 A at 125 V. The cord uses a male L5-30P plug and a female L5-30R connector, so both ends must match your equipment and supply. The black SJTW jacket helps identify the circuit in a coloured-coded rack layout.

Fits standard locking rack power chains

The male-to-female configuration extends or completes a locking power chain between a PDU or wall outlet and a server power supply. Three-conductor grounded copper meets UL Listed and CSA certified requirements (file E210037) and is RoHS compliant. The twist-lock design frees you from accidental disconnects in high-vibration rack environments.

Questions about this item

Does the cord come with any extra adapters or mounting hardware, or is it just the 6 ft L5-30P to L5-30R cable?

Only the 6 ft black locking power cord with NEMA L5-30P plug and L5-30R connector is supplied; no adapters or brackets are included.

The gauge guide lists 18, 16, 14 and 12 AWG for lower amperages — why choose the 10 AWG version instead?

10 AWG is rated for 30 A at 125 V, so it supports the full L5-30 rating where 12 AWG stops at 20 A and smaller gauges handle even less.

What does the 30 A / 125 V rating mean when the cord is plugged into a live PDU in a rack?

It means the 10 AWG SJTW cable can continuously carry 30 A at 125 V without exceeding its 105 °C temperature rating, and the twist-lock ends stay secure under vibration.
