TRIPP LITE C19 to 5-20P Power Cord 10 ft 20A 12 AWG

TRIPP LITE's heavy-duty C19 to NEMA 5-20P power cord is a 10-foot, 12 AWG, 20A-rated cable designed to deliver reliable power between C19 equipment in data centers and 5-20P wall outlets or PDUs.

This robust power cable (model P049-010) uses three 12 AWG copper conductors and fully molded ends to ensure a secure, low-resistance connection for high-current devices. Built to meet common commercial and IT power needs, it supports 125V/20A circuits and is ROHS compliant. With a 10-foot length (3.05 meters), it offers flexible routing options while minimizing signal loss and heat buildup thanks to thicker gauge wiring.

What equipment is this C19 to 5-20P cord intended for?

This cord is suitable for powering servers, UPS systems, network switches, and other high-current rack-mount devices that use an IEC-320-C19 inlet. It bridges the common IEC C19 interface to a grounded NEMA 5-20P plug used on 20A receptacles.

• Compatible with C19-input power supplies and PDUs
• Works with 125V/20A wall outlets or dedicated 20A circuits
• Ideal for data center and small server room deployments

How does the 12 AWG construction affect performance and safety?

Using 12 AWG copper conductors reduces voltage drop and improves heat dissipation compared with thinner cables, helping maintain stable power under heavier loads. The fully molded ends add strain relief and secure contact, lowering the risk of loose connections and arcing.

• Three 12 AWG conductors for lower resistance and better current handling
• Fully molded connectors for mechanical protection and secure fit
• Designed to meet common safety and durability expectations for IT power cabling

How long is the cable and what installation flexibility does that provide?

The cable measures 10 feet (3.05 meters), giving ample reach to connect equipment within racks or to nearby outlets without excessive slack. The length balances convenience and manageability for typical server-room layouts, enabling clean cable runs and easier cable management.

• 10 ft length suitable for rack-to-outlet routing
• Avoids tight bends while reducing the need for extension adapters
• Simplifies placement of PDUs and equipment within standard rack depths

What warranty and compliance should I expect?

TRIPP LITE backs this power cable with a lifetime limited warranty, reflecting confidence in its materials and assembly. The product is ROHS compliant, indicating restriction of hazardous substances in its construction.

• Lifetime limited warranty from TRIPP LITE
• ROHS compliance for restricted hazardous materials
• Clear labeling for voltage and amperage ratings (125V/20A)

Who is this for: IT professionals, facilities managers, and small-business owners who need a dependable, 20A-rated power connection between C19-capable equipment and standard NEMA 5-20 outlets. It’s a practical choice when you require a sturdy, mid-length cable with thicker gauge wiring for reduced voltage drop, secure molded ends for durability, and manufacturer backing for long-term use.
