A C13 to C14 power cable has two different ends:
You may see the same configuration described as a C14 to C13 power cable, IEC extension lead or server power cord. Before ordering, confirm the actual connector combination: C14 male to C13 female.
DKURVE supplies this cable configuration for buyers who need a full copper power connection between compatible power-distribution equipment and IT devices.
When purchasing a power cable, the connector shape is only the starting point. Conductor material, cable length, conductor size and the complete assembly’s electrical rating also need attention.
The DKURVE range makes these specifications part of the buying decision. Instead of ordering an unidentified “computer cable,” specify the product clearly:
DKURVE C13 to C14 power cable — required length, conductor size and quantity.
This helps your purchasing and installation teams identify the intended cable and reduces confusion with UK-plug leads, C15 cables or C19–C20 connections.
For replacement orders, keep the DKURVE model or product reference alongside the equipment record so the same specification can be requested again.
DKURVE C13–C14 product options include full copper conductors. When comparing cables, check the stated conductor material and cross-sectional area rather than judging the cable by its outer thickness alone.
The measurement in mm² describes the conductor’s cross-sectional area. It is different from the overall diameter of the insulated cable.
A thicker conductor does not automatically increase the rating of the connectors or the complete cable assembly. Always select the cable according to its documented specifications and the connected equipment’s requirements.
Explore the DKURVE 1.5mm² full copper C13 to C14 power cable, listed in 1.8m and 3m lengths.
A server rack can contain many individual power connections. Choosing suitable cable lengths helps keep those connections easier to trace and maintain.
For compatible equipment, a DKURVE C13–C14 cable connects the PDU’s C13 outlet to the device’s C14 inlet.
Before ordering for a rack installation:
Colour can also support an installation’s identification system. The DKURVE 2m C13 to C14 cable with 2.5mm² full copper conductors is listed with red and blue options.
Use colours according to your documented labelling scheme. Colour alone does not establish a cable’s electrical rating or identify its power source.
If your UPS provides C13 output sockets and your equipment has a compatible C14 inlet, a correctly specified C13–C14 cable can provide the connection.
However, UPS outlets vary between models. Check the socket type before ordering rather than assuming every UPS accepts the same cable.
A DKURVE IEC power cable provides the physical power connection. Battery backup, surge protection and other power-management functions depend on the UPS or other equipment in the installation.
