Choose a C13 power cord length that reaches from the equipment to the power source while allowing enough slack for routing, service access, and strain relief without leaving excessive cable in the rack. Available lengths range from 1.5 feet to 15 feet, and left- or right-angle options can help the cord follow the equipment’s layout more neatly.

Choose a left-angle C13 power cord when the cable needs to route toward the left, or a right-angle cord when it needs to route toward the right, based on the equipment’s power inlet and available rack space. The angled connection helps keep cables closer to the equipment and can support a tidier installation when straight plugs would interfere with adjacent components or the rack.

Check that your equipment has a matching IEC inlet, your power distribution unit has the correct outlet, and the cord’s three-prong connection and electrical markings align with both devices. Then choose a length and left- or right-angle orientation that fit the rack layout, while confirming the flexible jacket and UL listing meet your installation requirements.

When selecting C13 power cords, compare the length, left- or right-angle connector orientation, conductor construction, and jacket flexibility to match your rack layout and installation needs. Also check for a three-prong IEC C13 socket, a secure IEC fit, and applicable safety listings for the project.
