IEC C20 lead

[High Tower]

So........ We have just fitted out a comms room for a IT software client. having fitted the comms cab commando's and supplied the plugs to match, the company have asked us to supply the leads and fit the plugs.

However after a cursory glance at the back of the UPS units it would seem that the units are equipped with female C19 sockets, that would mean that these units would require a male C20 plug and lead which is far from ideal.

Anyone have any experience of this?

 

[not clever]

We get ours from
Power Cable IEC-60320 0.2m (C13/C20)

sourcing them is not an issue, its the fact that if i use a C20 as a supply cable im going to have a plug with live pins!

Are you sure that the C19 sockets are inlets? If so, it's worth querying this with the manufacturer of the equipment. I would expect these C20 fixed plugs for a power inlet:

Yes mate I'm sure, I would have expected the lead to have been female C19 too!

It's not just non-ideal, it's wrong. If the manufacturer intends a male C20 cable to be used for the supply, I'd remove the UPSs and send them back. I think there's a mistake somewhere but let's see pictures!

As Lucien says, have you pictures or even a model number.

Could these be to link 1 unit to another?

As Lucien says, let's see some pictures of this one! It's either a misunderstanding, or it's been built on a Friday afternoon and someone has fitted the wrong sockets Daz

I also would of thought they are the output sockets but with out any more info we are only guessing
