This cable is high temperature power cable is designed to connect equipment fitted with an IEC-C16 male plug. Typical applications include connecting servers that operate at elevated temperatures to a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

The IEC-C15 female connector has a notch cut out on the base and will fit into an IEC-C16 male plug and also the standard IEC-C14 male plug.

Features
• Fully moulded cable
• 1 x IEC-C14 Male Plug
• 1 x IEC-C15 Female Socket
• Standards Association of Australia (SAA) Approved
• Compliant with AS/NZS3112
• Rating: 10A 250V

Difference Of A Notch

One of the most apparent differences between the two connectors is the notch on C15 connector. Although C15 looks quite similar to C13, it has a little groove opposite the earth. The IEC-C15 connectors also work in the C14 outlets. But the IEC-C13 connectors do not fit in the C16 inlets.

Temperature Rating

This is an important factor that makes IEC-C15 different from C13. C15 connectors are designed in such a way that they can handle high temperature devices like electric kettles, server rooms, computing networking closets and Power over Ethernet switches having high wattage power supply. These connectors work on the temperature rating of 120°C.

IEC-C13 connectors are rated at 15A/250V locally and at 10A/250V internationally with the temperature rating of 65°C. So when you need a power cord device having high temperature, you can use C15 instead of C13.
