15amp C13 to C14 Power Cords
By far the #1 most requested power cord, the IEC 15amp C13 – C14 power cords are primarily used to power network equipment in a data center. The C13 end of the cord plugs into the equipment itself and the C14 end plugs into the PDU or power strip within the rack.

When to use C13 to C14 Power cords
The C14 configuration is the male version of the C13 configuration. They fit like together like two peas in a pod, like spic and span, like white on rice – you get the picture. Most switches, servers and desktop computer equipment utilize the C14 inlet in their power supply. In order to attach a power cord to this power supply, you will need a power cord with the C13 connector. Since this type of equipment is used within a data center rack, the power source is generally a PDU (Power Distribution Unit). The PDU can have C13 inlets, in which case you would need a C14 connector to plug into the PDU. Thus, 15amp C13 – C14 power cords were born.
