Eaton P018-E06-6 – Heavy-Duty C15 to C14 PDU Cord 6-Pack

Product Overview

The Eaton P018-E06-6 is a heavy-duty C15 to P-Lock C14 PDU power cord designed for rack-mount servers and network equipment that require a higher-rated, heavier-gauge power connection. Built with 14 AWG wire and rated for 15A at 250V, this power cord is engineered for high-temperature devices and demanding data center power distribution applications. Sold as a 6-pack, it is a practical choice for large-scale server rollouts and rack builds where multiple matched power cords are needed. The P-Lock C14 connector helps secure the cord to a PDU outlet, reducing the risk of accidental disconnects in a busy server room or data center rack.

Product Description

Data center technicians and IT facilities managers frequently need power cords that can handle sustained high current draw without the risk of overheating found in lighter-gauge cables. The P018-E06-6 addresses this need with a heavy-gauge 14 AWG conductor rated for 15A at 250V, giving integrators a dependable C15-to-C14 power cord for connecting servers, switches, and other rack-mount equipment to a rack PDU. The P-Lock C14 plug locks into compatible PDU outlets, which helps prevent cables from working loose during routine rack maintenance or equipment moves. Because the cord is rated for higher-temperature operation, it is well suited to devices that run hot, such as densely packed server chassis and high-wattage networking gear. At 6 ft. (1.8 m), the cord provides enough slack for common rack depths while keeping cable runs tidy inside a cabinet. This heavy-duty PDU power cord ships as a 6-pack in black, making it an efficient purchase for data center rack PDU deployments, server room builds, or colocation cabinet installs where several identical cords are required at once. Procurement teams standardizing on a single power cord specification across a rack row will find the multi-pack format reduces per-unit sourcing time. The cord's construction and connector rating make it a good match for enterprise data center, colocation, and network closet environments where cable reliability under continuous load is a priority.

Key Features

• 14 AWG Heavy-Gauge Wire — the thicker conductor supports high-current, high-temperature server and network device connections without the derating concerns of lighter-gauge cords.
• 15A, 250V Rating — the cord is rated to handle demanding rack power loads found in enterprise data center and server room deployments.
• P-Lock C14 Connector — the locking C14 plug helps keep the cord seated in the PDU outlet, reducing accidental disconnects during rack servicing.
• C15 Device-Side Connector — matches equipment with C16 inlets rated for higher-temperature operation, common on dense server hardware.
• 6 ft. (1.8 m) Length — provides workable slack for routing from a rack PDU to rack-mount equipment without excess cable clutter.
• 6-Pack Quantity — supplies enough matched cords for a full rack or small-scale rollout in a single purchase.

Typical Applications

• Data center rack PDU connections for high-density server deployments
• Colocation facility cabinet builds requiring standardized power cords
• Server room equipment rollouts with multiple matched rack units
• Network closet installations connecting switches to rack PDUs

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment is the P018-E06-6 compatible with?

It is compatible with any rack-mount server or network device that has a C16 inlet rated for higher-temperature operation, connected to a PDU with a standard C14 outlet.

Why does this cord use P-Lock connectors?

The P-Lock design secures the C14 plug into the PDU outlet, which reduces the chance of a cord working loose during routine rack maintenance or cable management work.

Can I mix this cord with standard 18 AWG power cords in the same rack?

Yes, the P018-E06-6 can be used alongside lighter-gauge cords, though it is best reserved for equipment that specifically calls for a heavier-gauge, higher-temperature-rated connection.

Does this cord work with three-phase rack PDUs?

Yes, as long as the PDU outlet is a standard C14 receptacle and the connected device requires a C15/C16 inlet connection.

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.

Does Creation Networks offer support for data center cabling projects?

Yes, Creation Networks can help integrators and IT teams plan power cord requirements for rack and cabinet builds, including quantity and length selection.
