• Reliable for Data & IT Environments
  Commonly used in data centers, server rooms, or network closets where high-reliability power cabling is essential.

Installation & Usage Tips

1. Ensure Proper Polarity & Fit
   Always check that your device’s C19 inlet matches the orientation and secure seating of the connector.
2. Avoid Bends Too Tight
   Maintain gentle curves in the cord to avoid damage to the internal conductor insulation.
3. Use Proper Cable Management
   Secure with cable organizers or strain-relief to prevent tugging or connector stress.
4. Monitor Under Load
   If placing in environments with high ambient heat, ensure the cable is not de-rated or overheating under heavy loads.
5. Inspect Periodically
   Look for cracks, jacket cuts, discoloration, or connector wear; replace immediately on any anomaly.
