Plug-Lock Inserts (C14 power cord to C13 outlet), Red, 100 pack (PLC13RD)

Plug-Lock Inserts (C14 power cord to C13 outlet), Red, 100 pack (PLC13RD)

Description

The Tripp Lite PLC13RD is a pack of red plug‑lock inserts designed to improve the reliability of standard IEC 60320 C14 power cords when connected to C13 outlets. These inserts slide over the C14 plug and help prevent accidental disconnection—a common issue with loose‑fitting IEC power connections, especially during rack access or equipment maintenance. By strengthening the physical connection between the plug and the outlet, they help keep critical network, server, and rack‑mounted equipment powered and running without interruption.

Key Features

• Accidental Disconnection Protection: Reduces the chance of power cords pulling loose from C13 outlets.
• Universal Compatibility: Fits any standard IEC C14 plug and C13 outlet—no special cables or locking receptacles required.
• Easy to Use: Simply place the plug‑lock insert over the C14 equipment cord before plugging in.
• 100‑Piece Pack: Comes with 100 red inserts—useful for multiple cables in a rack or data center.
• Alternative to Zip‑Ties: Offers a cleaner, reusable way to secure power connections without tapes or zip‑tie schemes.

Application Use Cases

1. Data Centers & Server Rooms – Ideal for securing C14 power cords on servers, PDUs, and networking equipment to prevent accidental disconnections during maintenance or equipment swaps.
2. Rack-Mounted Equipment – Ensures that rack-mounted switches, UPS units, and storage devices maintain stable power connections even in environments with vibration or frequent access.
3. High-Traffic IT Environments – Reduces downtime in environments where technicians frequently plug and unplug devices for troubleshooting or configuration.
4. Critical Power Applications – Useful in situations where continuous uptime is required, such as telecom closets, broadcast systems, and medical equipment setups.
5. Reusable & Organized Cable Management – Offers a cleaner and more reliable alternative to zip-ties or tape for keeping power cords securely connected in cable-dense racks.
6. Event or Temporary Installations – Great for trade shows, exhibitions, or temporary server setups where equipment needs secure but removable power connections.
