Power Cord, C20 to C21, 12/3 AWG, 20 Amp, 250V SJT Black Jacket

IEC C20/C21 power cable uses

The IEC C21 Power Cords are used to power electrical devices that emit more than 65 °C during operation and require more than 15 Amperes of power that the C15 can provide. Think of this as the “heaviest-heavy duty” connector of the IEC 60320 Series. It can withstand the most amperes of power and the most heat of any connector in this set of standards and is generally reserved for the High-Power Switches and Servers located in modern data centers. Often times this equipment will all be located within a rack-mount data cabinet.

What options are available for the IEC320 c20 to c21 power cable?

We stock these high temperature power cables in many lengths ranging from 1.5 Feet to 15 Feet, to satisfy almost all of the demands of the Rack-Mounted Data Cabinet space. Our standard cabling is 12awg-3c SJT Black, however we can satisfy specific cabling upon request.

General Information:

The IEC 60320 C20 is a grounded 3 Wire Plug rated up to 250V and 20 Amps. It is commonly used with either 14awg or 12awg conductors, depending on the application and the power draw required for the device. The most common configuration for a C20 is in a jumper cable scenario, providing power from a PDU to a blade server chassis, high powered server, large network router, or similar device. The C20 is used in applications where the most common IEC320 plug, the C14 will not provide enough power. This plug is rated for temperatures up to 65*C. For applications where the temperature of the equipment exceeds 65 degree C, we recommend using the high tempature version: The IEC 60320 C22 High Temperature plug, which is rated for temperatures up to 155*C.

What does the IEC 60320 C21 Plug into?

The IEC 60320 type C21 Plug is designed to connect to a standard IEC 320 C21 connector or Outlet. The connector is commonly found on power cords, and the outlet is commonly found on Power Distribution units.
