Tripp Lite P040-012 Power Cord C19 L6-20P 20A 12 Awg

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE P040-012 is a heavy-duty power cord designed to connect IEC 60320 C19 equipment to NEMA L6-20P twist-lock receptacles. Rated at 20 amps and built with 12 AWG conductors, this cord delivers reliable power transfer in demanding environments. At 12 feet in length, it provides enough reach for typical rack-mount and floor-standing equipment installations. It is commonly deployed by electricians and IT infrastructure technicians working with PDUs, UPS systems, servers, and other high-draw enterprise or industrial equipment.

This cord is suited for data center, server room, and light industrial environments where C19-terminated devices must connect to L6-20P power distribution sources. The L6-20P locking plug prevents accidental disconnection in high-vibration or high-traffic areas. Electricians and low-voltage installers use this cord during rack buildouts, equipment commissioning, and facility power distribution projects. It is appropriate for both new installations and replacement of worn or undersized cords.

Key Features

• C19 female connector on equipment end for compatibility with high-current IEC-rated devices
• NEMA L6-20P twist-lock male plug for secure, locking connection at the PDU or outlet
• 20A current rating supports high-draw server and networking equipment
• 12 AWG conductors handle rated current with reduced voltage drop over the 12-foot run
• 12-foot length accommodates typical rack-to-PDU and equipment-to-outlet distances

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental power cord for enterprise PDUs, UPS units, and rack-mount equipment with IEC 60320 C20 inlets requiring a C19 connector, sourced from NEMA L6-20P locking outlets.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or qualified IT infrastructure technicians. Always de-energize the circuit and verify the outlet is unpowered before connecting or disconnecting the cord. Ensure the NEMA L6-20P plug is fully seated and locked before energizing. Inspect the cord jacket and connectors for damage before each use and do not exceed the 20A current rating of the cord.
