Eaton P018-E06-ABL-6 – Heavy-Duty C15 to C14 PDU Cords, 6-Pack

Product Overview

The Eaton P018-E06-ABL-6 is a heavy-duty PDU power cord designed to connect high-draw network equipment to a rack PDU with a P-Lock outlet. Built with 14 AWG conductors and a 15A, 250V rating, this C15 to C14 power cable is engineered for large server applications that require a heavier-gauge connection than a standard cord can provide. The blue 6 ft. (1.8 m) length is well suited for larger rack enclosures, and the pack of six makes it practical for data center rollouts and rack-scale deployments. Its C15 connector is rated for higher-temperature equipment, giving integrators a reliable option for demanding server room installs.

Product Description

These C15-to-C14 PDU power cords are purpose-built for network devices and servers that draw more current than a standard IEC cord can safely support. The 14 AWG wire gauge is a heavier conductor than the 18 AWG found in typical jumper cords, reducing voltage drop and heat buildup on longer power runs inside a rack. The C15 connector at one end is rated for higher-temperature equipment such as switches and power supplies that run hot under sustained load, while the P-Lock C14 connector at the other end locks securely into a compatible PDU outlet to prevent accidental disconnection during rack maintenance.

Supplied as a six-pack, the P018-E06-ABL-6 is a practical choice for data center technicians and integrators standardizing cable color and length across a new rack build or a large-scale equipment rollout. The blue jacket color helps with visual circuit identification in racks that use color-coded power paths, a common practice in colocation and enterprise data center environments. At 6 ft. (1.8 m), the cord length comfortably reaches from a horizontal or vertical rack PDU to equipment mounted at varying rack unit positions, reducing the need for custom cable lengths. This power cord is intended for use with compatible Eaton and Tripp Lite PDUs that feature a P-Lock outlet.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cord work with any PDU?

The P-Lock C14 connector is designed to mate with PDUs that have a P-Lock-compatible C13/C39 outlet, including Eaton and compatible Tripp Lite PDUs. Confirm your PDU's outlet type before ordering.

Can I use this cord with standard C13 equipment inlets?

No, this cord terminates in a C15 connector, which is intended for equipment rated for higher operating temperatures. Check your device's power inlet type before purchasing.

Is this cord suitable for a full rack deployment?

Yes, the six-pack format is intended for equipment rollouts across a rack or multiple racks, and the 14 AWG gauge supports higher-draw devices commonly found in data center racks.

Does the P-Lock connector require special tools to disconnect?

No, the P-Lock mechanism releases with a simple squeeze-and-pull motion at the connector, requiring no tools while still preventing accidental disconnects.

What warranty applies to this power cord?

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

Who can help me confirm compatibility before I order?

Creation Networks' team can review your existing PDU and equipment inlet types to confirm compatibility before you place an order.
