3 ft C14 to C15 Power Cord

This StarTech.com PXTC14C153 cable connects a C14 inlet on a PDU or UPS to a C15 connector on high-temperature server or networking equipment. The three-foot length suits rack-mounted gear where the power source sits close to the device. It is built with 14 AWG conductors inside a black PVC SJT jacket and carries UL and RoHS compliance.

Suits rack installs needing C15 heat rating

The cord fits administrators linking servers, switches or blade enclosures that require the higher 105 degrees C temperature rating of a C15 connector. Fully moulded strain relief on both ends resists accidental unplugging in dense racks. Buyers needing a longer reach to distant power strips or a right-angle hood for tight cable management should look at a different model.

14 AWG wire rated for 250 V at 15 A

The single specification that decides fit is the 14 AWG conductor size, which supports the full 250 V 15 A rating printed on the cable. This gauge handles the current draw of typical enterprise power supplies without voltage drop over the short run. If your equipment demands a heavier gauge for higher amperage or a lower gauge for lighter loads, this cord will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3 ft 14 AWG C14 to C15 power cord?

Insert the C14 connector into the PDU outlet and the C15 connector into the server inlet until each clicks into place; the step often missed is verifying both connectors are fully seated so the molded strain relief engages.

What maintenance or replacement will this cord need later?

Inspect the PVC SJT jacket and fully molded strain relief connectors periodically for cracks, discoloration, or heat damage; replace the cord if the 105 degrees C temperature rating is exceeded or the jacket shows wear.

What limit appears first under sustained 15 A load?

The 14 AWG conductors and 105 degrees C temperature rating set the thermal limit; continuous operation at 250 V 15 A will reach conductor temperature limits before the UL-rated components do.
