Eaton P005-003 – Heavy-Duty Power Extension Cord, 3-ft

Product Overview

The Eaton P005-003 is a heavy-duty 14 AWG power extension cord built for server rack and network closet installs that need a short, high-current jumper between a PDU and connected equipment. Terminated with IEC-320-C14 and IEC-320-C13 connectors, this rack power cord is a common accessory for data center and server room deployments where a thicker-gauge cable is specified for reliability. At 3 feet in length, it suits tight rack elevations where standard-length cords create unnecessary slack.

Product Description

Rated for 15A at 100-250V, the P005-003 uses 3 conductors of 14 AWG wire — heavier gauge than the 16 AWG or 18 AWG cords commonly bundled with IT equipment. That thicker gauge reduces voltage drop and heat buildup on longer power runs or higher-draw devices, making it a practical choice for server applications that call for a more robust cord than a standard consumer-grade cable. The C14-to-C13 connector pair is the standard IEC power interface used throughout data center and server room racks, connecting a PDU outlet (C13 receptacle) to equipment with a C14 inlet, or extending a device's factory cord to reach a rack PDU mounted farther away.

Because the cord is short at 3 feet, it is best suited for tight cable runs within a single rack rather than routing power between racks, helping integrators avoid excess cable clutter in dense equipment cabinets. Its 15A rating and wide 100-250V input range make it compatible with most global voltage standards, which is useful for integrators sourcing standardized cabling across mixed-region deployments. Facilities and IT teams standardizing on heavier-gauge power cords for rack builds can use the P005-003 as a drop-in replacement for thinner OEM cords supplied with servers, switches, and other rack-mount equipment.

Key Features
