Secure C14 Connection
Tripp Lite PLC13BL inserts lock C14 plugs into C13 outlets to stop accidental disconnection. The blue inserts fit IEC 60320 cord sets and ship in a 100-pack for rack-wide deployment. They replace zip-tie or proprietary locking schemes with a simple, low-profile solution. Critical equipment stays powered during routine rack access and maintenance.
Tool-Free Installation
Slide each insert over a C14 plug before seating it in the C13 receptacle; no tools or wiring changes are required. The friction fit strengthens the mechanical hold so cords resist being knocked loose. Misalignment during hurried installs is the only common issue — ensure the insert seats fully before applying load. Each pack provides 100 pieces for consistent coverage across multiple PDUs.
Rack Maintenance Teams
These inserts suit administrators who need reliable cord retention on existing C13/C14 infrastructure without proprietary hardware. Buyers requiring integrated locking receptacles or coloured coding beyond the supplied blue should evaluate alternative retention methods. The 100-piece quantity matches large-scale rollouts rather than single-device fixes.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the blue plug-lock inserts are securing C14 cords to C13 outlets correctly after installation?
A secure fit is confirmed when the C14 plug cannot be pulled from the C13 receptacle without deliberate force, preventing accidental disconnection during rack maintenance.
What does the 100-pack contain and are any tools or additional hardware required for use?
The package includes 100 blue plug-lock inserts for IEC 60320 C14 plugs; no tools or extra hardware are needed — simply slide an insert over each cord before connecting.
Should I choose the blue PLC13BL inserts or a different colour variant for my C14-to-C13 connections?
Select the blue PLC13BL inserts when colour-coded cable management is desired; they function identically to other colours and suit any standard C14-to-C13 IEC 60320 connection.
