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

Product Overview

The Eaton P018-E06-ARD-6 is a six-pack of C15-to-C14 heavy-duty PDU power cords designed for higher-temperature network devices that require a heavy-gauge power connection. Each 6-ft. (1.8 m) cord uses 14 AWG wire and a locking P-Lock C14 connector rated 15A at 250V, making this pack a practical choice for data center rollouts involving equipment with C15 power inlets, such as high-density servers and switches that run hotter than standard IEC C14-corded gear.

Product Description

Equipment with a C15 power inlet is typically rated for higher operating temperatures than standard C13/C14 devices, and the P018-E06-ARD-6 is built specifically to serve that connector type. Its C15 connector mates with high-temperature-rated equipment inlets, while the opposite end uses a P-Lock C14 connector that locks securely into a rack PDU outlet, reducing the risk of accidental disconnects in busy cabinets. The 14 AWG wire gauge supports higher sustained current draw than lighter-gauge cords, helping minimize voltage drop across dense server rows. At 6 ft. (1.8 m), the cord offers enough reach for equipment mounted deeper in the rack or connected to a vertical 0U PDU. Supplied in a red six-pack, the P018-E06-ARD-6 is well suited for large-scale server rollouts, colocation deployments, and data center equipment refreshes where multiple high-temperature devices need to be connected quickly and consistently, with red jacketing helping technicians trace circuits during installation and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment requires a C15 power cord?

Equipment with a C15 power inlet is typically rated for higher operating temperatures than standard C13/C14-corded devices, common on some high-density servers and switches.

Can this cord be used with standard C14-only equipment?

No, the equipment end of this cord is a C15 connector, which is designed to mate with C15/C16 rated inlets rather than standard C13 inlets.

Does the P-Lock connector require a compatible PDU outlet?

The P-Lock C14 plug works with any standard PDU C13 outlet and adds a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnects.

How many cords are included in this pack?

The P018-E06-ARD-6 includes six identical 6-ft. red power cords.

Is this cord rated for large server deployments?

Yes, the 14 AWG heavy-gauge wire and 15A/250V rating make it well suited to large server applications requiring a heavier-gauge connection.

What warranty applies to this product?

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