Frequently Asked Questions
What devices use C14 to C21 power cords?
C14 to C21 power cords connect high-power IT equipment such as blade servers, large network routers, managed switches, and power distribution units (PDUs) to UPS systems or main power sources in data centers and server rooms.
Is the P037-002 suitable for continuous operation?
Yes, the Eaton Tripp Lite P037-002 is rated for continuous 15A operation at 250V and maintains performance in high-temperature environments up to 105°C, making it ideal for 24/7 data center deployments.
What is the difference between C14 and C21 connectors?
The C14 connector is the male inlet (plugs into equipment), while the C21 connector is the female outlet (connects to power sources). This configuration allows the cord to link powered devices directly to PDUs or UPS backup systems.
Can I use this cord in a standard office environment?
While the P037-002 is engineered for data center applications, it can be used in any environment requiring a heavy-duty 15A 250V power connection. However, its compact 2 ft length is optimized for server rack installations.
