Power Cables, Power Cords


Locking power cords are an ideal solution for securing the power supply to important electrical equipment,  such as servers and computers. Locking connectors reduce the probability of accidentally disconnecting cords and causing power to be cut from vital components.

Why Secure Your Connection?

There are many reasons why your network connection might be compromised today, ranging from hacking to EMI or electromagnetic interference. Keeping your devices powdered is another concern, especially when so much of the technology in your home is "grab and go," whether that's a cell phone or a handheld gaming console. When you've invested a great deal of money into ensuring that you can use your devices and access your network without interruption, you might as well go above-and-beyond to make sure that your tech is always operating at full speed and full power. Cables.com has what you need to keep your favorite electronics going strong, whether you're looking for locking power cables to ensure that charging goes uninterrupted or shielded network cables meant to protect your data from outside interference.

Why Buy Locking Power Cords?

When you think about "locking" a device, no doubt the first thing that comes to mind is a security issue. Surely you don't want anyone accessing important information stored on your data network. Locking data center power cords are an essential part of any data center safety plan. You certainly don't want anyone accessing important information stored on your data network. But they have other uses as well - in fact, it's not about protecting what's traveling through your connection, but the safety and stability of your connection itself! Locking power cords are a great option for securing the power supply to important electrical equipment such as servers and computers. You can keep your devices secure and stable with help from Cables.com.

The most common reasoning behind a locking power cable is actually very simple: to avoid accidental power cord disconnections. If keeping your data center up and running with a strong, stable connection is your priority, you should absolutely consider investing in one of the many quality locking data center cords available on Cables.com.
