Locking power cords are the perfect solution to secure the power supply to important electrical equipment such as servers and computers. The "locking" feature is enabled when used with Rack PDUs or IT equipment. These locking connectors reduce the probability of accidentally disconnecting cords and causing power to be cut from vital components.

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. But the real reasoning behind "locking" data center cords is quite different - 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 the perfect solution to secure the power supply to important electrical equipment such as servers and computers. Let's take a look at some of the locking cables available on Cables.com.

When Do You Need a Locking Cable?

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

Locking power cords are the perfect solution to secure the power supply to important electrical equipment such as servers and computers. Our C19 to C20 Locking Power Cords are excellent for all around use in a data center. These, cables which are available in packs of six, will fit into any standard IEC receptacle or power inlet. 

Free up space and secure power cords between rack-mount PDUs and attached IT equipment with this exclusive easy-to-use cord retention method. While these cords will fit into any standard IEC receptacle or power inlet; the locking feature is enabled only when used with APC AP8000 series Rack PDUs or IT equipment with built-in locking receptacles. These locking connectors reduce the probability of accidentally disconnecting cords and dropping loads.

But for the most important connections, we recommend investing in our C13 to C14 Locking Power Cables. These competitively-priced cords will allow you to make unbreakable connections between rack mounted PDUs and attached IT equipment. At Cables.com, we carry C13 to C14 locking power cords in single cords and in six-packs.

You can find both IEC lock (where no modification is needed to existing IEC inlets and fixtures) and APC V-lock (for locking connections at both ends) C14 to C13 cords - and, we have them available in a variety of colors and lengths up to 10-feet. If you're looking to purchase cable in lengths or colors different than what's listed on our website, however, no need to worry - we can make custom locking power cords to meet your exact needs!

Finally, take a moment to consider our Universal IEC C14 to C15 Locking Power Cables. The key draw to these particular locking data center cables is their universal compatibility with all PDUs. Secure your data center and network racks by locking the connections at both ends between your servers and PDU strips!
