Eaton P018-E03-6 – C15 to C14 PDU Cords, 6-Pack

Product Overview

The Eaton P018-E03-6 is a six-pack of heavy-duty C15 to C14 PDU power cords designed for higher-temperature networking equipment such as PoE switches with high-wattage power supplies. Each 14 AWG cord in this set delivers a higher-rated, heavier-gauge connection between rack PDUs and connected equipment in data centers and server rooms. The 6-pack quantity makes this a practical choice for standardizing power cords across a rack or full equipment rollout.

Product Description

Built with 14 AWG wire and rated for 15A at 250V, these C15-to-C14 power cables provide a heavier-gauge connection than typical bundled cords, reducing heat buildup and voltage drop on higher-power network equipment. The C15 connector specifically supports higher-temperature devices, making this cord a good match for PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches with high-wattage power supplies and similar network components that generate more heat at the power inlet than standard C13/C14 equipment. Each cord measures 3 ft. (0.9 m), a length suited to short runs between a PDU and adjacent rack-mounted equipment rather than long cable runs across a cabinet. The P-Lock C14 connector helps keep the cord seated at the PDU end, reducing accidental disconnects in tightly cabled racks. With six identical cords included, this pack is sized for outfitting a rack of PoE switches or standardizing power cabling across a larger rollout, reducing the number of separate cord SKUs procurement teams need to track.

Key Features

• C15 High-Temperature Connector — Rated for higher-temperature equipment such as PoE switches with high-wattage power supplies.
• 14 AWG Heavy-Gauge Wire — Thicker conductors reduce voltage drop and heat on higher-draw network equipment connections.
• 15A, 250V Rating — Supports safely powering higher-power server and networking devices from a rack PDU.
• P-Lock C14 Connector — A locking C14 end helps prevent accidental disconnects in dense rack cabling.
• Six-Pack Quantity — A matched set of six 3 ft. cords simplifies standardizing cabling across a rack build.

Typical Applications

• Data center
• Server room
• Network closet

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this cord use a C15 connector instead of C13?

The C15 connector is rated for higher-temperature equipment, such as PoE switches with high-wattage power supplies, that generate more heat at the power inlet than typical C13/C14 devices.

Are these cords long enough for a full rack run?

At 3 ft. (0.9 m) each, these cords are best suited to short connections between a PDU and nearby rack-mounted equipment rather than long cable runs across a large cabinet.

What equipment commonly requires a C15 power cord?

PoE switches and similar high-wattage network devices with C16 inlets commonly require a C15-terminated power cord.

Are all six cords in this pack identical?

Yes, the pack includes six matching 3 ft. C15 to P-Lock C14 cords for standardizing cabling across a rack or rollout.

What warranty applies to these power cords?

Eaton backs this product with its standard manufacturer warranty; contact Creation Networks for the current term and any extended coverage options.
