The C13 to C14 locking power cable that eliminates accidental and vibration disconnects of IT equipment

The reliability of physical power distribution in data centres depends to a large degree on the how well the power cords have been secured. When maintenance or configuration work is being performed, the cords connecting active IT hardware and the power source or PDU (Power Distribution Unit) can often be accidentally dislodged or even completely disconnected. This can lead to system disruptions or even total failures of productive hardware. What is particularly aggravating is that fixing these kinds of disruptions is time-consuming and, depending on how long it takes, can be very expensive but most aggravating of all is that these problems and risks could have been prevented in the first place if a power cord with integrated locking mechanism had been used from the outset. The power cords with integrated locking mechanism are available for all C13 or C19 plugs and for special country configurations.

The zLock Dual Sided IEC Locking Cable is the first truly universal C13 to C14 locking power cable that is 100% compatible with existing plugs and receptacles! The dual locking cables simply replace existing power cables and eliminate any accidental and vibration disconnects. They do not require a special mating plug or receptacle in order to have a secure connection. The power cables and all connected IT devices are well protected against unintentional mechanical disconnections and the resulting power supply disruptions which lead to downtime and possible hardware damage. The zLock Dual Sided IEC Locking Cable can be released by simply pulling the red sliding tabs of the C13 connector or opening the twist lock on the C14 side. Simply replace your existing power cable with the zLock Dual Sided IEC Locking Cable and enjoy your increased uptime.

The new IEC-lock power lead design provides a simple way of securing a power lead to any electrical appliance that uses an IEC type mains lead.

As with most good designs the IEC-lock's patented locking mechanism is beautifully simple. The lead is simply connected to the appliance as any other IEC lead.

Once the lead has been fitted the IEC-lock mechanism locks it to the appliance, ensuring that the lead cannot become accidentally disconnected.

Protection of computer equipment and servers fromaccidental disconnection helping to protect valuable data
Ideal for protecting appliances that are vulnerable to vibration where standard connectors may become accidentally disconnected
Suitable for various medical applications that require a secure power source Unique 'Patented' Female C13 connector 'IEC-Lock'
Suitable for use with 'Any' standard IEC inlet
Loose coiled to avoid permanent kinks and ensure tidy installation
IEC-Lock moulded to leads are currently available with cable lengths to bare-ends with variable
 

The IEC Lock+ has been designed to be implemented in areas where access is limited and ease of removal is of paramount importance.

The new external release mechanism clearly differentiates the product from other leads.

Connector cannot be accidentally pulled or vibrated out of the inlet

This Series of Rack Power Distribution Units (PDU) comes with Locking IEC Receptacles. The output and input connections are C13 to C14. The cord length is 1.8m. Locking IEC system allows the use of optional locking IEC power cords for added power cord security and enhanced reliability. No tools are required to disengage the locking feature and remove the plug from the locking receptacle.

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.
