Raritan SecureLock IEC Power Cords
Integrated Locking System of Power Cords and Rack iPDU Outlets
Prevent costly downtime from accidental power cord disconnects with SecureLock outlets and power cords.
Despite meticulous planning and stringent processes, a source of data center downtime is human error and accidents.
All too often, when site services technicians labor in the rear of cabinets – whether commissioning new servers, replacing faulty power supplies, or routing LAN/SAN cables – power cords become accidentally dislodged as personnel brush against power cords in the rear of a cabinet. Plugs can also vibrate loose.
In modern data centers the use of high-current IEC C-19/C-20 connections proliferate with the increased deployment of blade servers. The large C-20 connector and cord are heavy so C-20 plugs are prone to accidental disconnection.
To resolve this problem, Raritan equips all of its latest rack iPDUs that have IEC C-13 or C-19 outlets* with patented SecureLock receptacles.
SecureLock outlets interoperate with standard AC power cords as normal. But when mated with genuine SecureLock AC power cords, a positive, locking, physical connection holds the cords in place with tabs.
Like all Raritan power strips, these IEC C-13 and C-19 outlets are UL Listed (N. America) / VDE Listed (Europe / International).
