Eaton P018-E03-ABL-6 – Heavy-Duty C15 to C14 Cord 6-Pack

Product Overview

The Eaton P018-E03-ABL-6 is a heavy-duty C15 to P-Lock C14 PDU power cord rated 15A at 250V with 14 AWG wire, designed for network devices such as PoE switches that require a higher-temperature-rated, heavier-gauge power connection. At 3 ft. (0.9 m), this shorter cord length suits tightly spaced rack equipment where a longer cord would create unnecessary slack. Sold in blue as a 6-pack, it gives integrators a color-coding option for standardizing power connections across a rack deployment.

Product Description

PoE switches and other higher-temperature network devices often specify a heavier-gauge power cord than standard equipment, and the P018-E03-ABL-6 is built to meet that requirement with 14 AWG wire rated for 15A at 250V. This C15-to-C14 power cord is intended for high-power connections in server and network equipment applications where a heavier-gauge cable improves reliability under sustained load. The shorter 3 ft. (0.9 m) length is well suited to compact rack layouts where equipment sits close to the PDU, reducing excess cable that would otherwise need to be managed or bundled. The P-Lock C14 connector locks into compatible PDU outlets, helping prevent the cord from working loose during routine rack maintenance. Supplied in blue and packaged as a 6-pack, this cord set gives integrators a way to visually distinguish power feeds, such as identifying PoE switch connections separate from other rack equipment. This combination of heavy-gauge construction, higher-temperature rating, and short cord length makes the P018-E03-ABL-6 a practical choice for data center and network closet deployments with PoE switches or similar higher-temperature devices mounted close to the rack PDU.

Key Features

• 14 AWG Heavy-Gauge Wire — supports high-power connections for PoE switches and other higher-temperature network devices.
• 15A, 250V Rating — suitable for demanding rack power loads in data center and network closet applications.
• P-Lock C14 Connector — the locking plug helps keep the cord seated in the PDU outlet during rack servicing.
• 3 ft. (0.9 m) Short Cord Length — reduces excess cable in compact rack layouts where equipment sits close to the PDU.
• Blue Color Coding — helps technicians visually distinguish PoE or specific equipment power feeds within a rack.
• 6-Pack Quantity — supplies enough matched cords for a full switch stack or multi-unit rollout.

Typical Applications

• Network closets with PoE switch stacks requiring higher-temperature-rated cords
• Data center racks with compact equipment spacing near the PDU
• Colocation cabinet builds needing color-coded power connections

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cord designed for PoE switches specifically?

It is designed for higher-temperature devices such as PoE switches, though it works with any equipment using a C16 inlet.

Why is the cord only 3 feet long?

The shorter length suits compact rack layouts where the connected equipment is mounted close to the PDU, reducing excess cable to manage.

What does the P-Lock connector do?

It locks the C14 plug into the PDU outlet, reducing the risk of accidental disconnects during rack maintenance.

Can I use blue and black cords in the same rack?

Yes, color is used for identification purposes only; blue and black cords of the same specification can be mixed as needed for organization.

What is the warranty on this product?

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

Can Creation Networks help select the right cord length for my rack?

Yes, our team can help determine the appropriate cord length and gauge based on your rack layout and equipment spacing.
