Power Cord — Cross-Brand Comparison

About Power Cord

Server power cords follow standardized IEC connectors (C13/C14, C19/C20) but rack-PDU-side plugs vary by region and PDU type. The Power Cord is a length-specific power cable used to connect PSUs to rack PDUs or wall outlets.

Cross-referencing guidance

When cross-referencing power cords: (1) confirm length (cord pulls reduce effective rack-front airflow, so right-sized matters), (2) confirm PDU-side connector (NEMA L5-30, C20, IEC 60309 vary across data centers), (3) verify amperage rating matches the upstream breaker. ICD supplies C13 and C19 cords; length and plug type are confirmed on the quote.
