Tripp Lite PLC13BK Plug Lock Insert C14 C13 100 Pack

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE PLC13BK is a plug lock insert designed to secure C13 power cord connections at C14 outlets, preventing accidental disconnection in critical power distribution environments. These locking inserts fit into the C14 receptacle and grip the C13 plug, holding it firmly in place without tools or special hardware. This type of retention device is commonly used in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise rack systems where an unplanned cord pull can cause costly downtime. Electricians and IT infrastructure technicians install these inserts as a low-cost safeguard on PDUs and surge protection equipment.

This pack contains 100 individual plug lock inserts, making it practical for large-scale deployments across multiple racks or cabinets. The inserts are suited for enterprise power distribution units, rack-mounted PDUs, and any installation where C14 receptacles are used to feed C13-terminated equipment such as servers, switches, and UPS loads. Each insert can be installed or removed without special tools, allowing straightforward maintenance access when needed.

Installation Notes

These inserts are installed by IT infrastructure technicians or electricians during rack build-out or as a retrofit on existing PDUs. Power to the PDU does not need to be interrupted to install or remove the inserts, though following site safety protocols for working near live power distribution equipment is standard practice. No tools are required for installation. Verify that the insert seats fully before connecting the C13 cord to confirm the locking function is engaged.
