nVent EP1920024X100 WLock Cord C19/C20, 0.6 m, Black, 100 pcs

The nVent WLock Cord C19/C20 (SKU: EP1920024X100) is a premium-grade power cord designed to deliver secure, tamper-resistant electrical connections between power distribution units (PDUs) and IT equipment in mission-critical environments. Manufactured by nVent, a global leader in electrical and thermal management solutions, this 0.6-meter (approximately 24-inch) black cord features dual W-Lock (V-Lock compatible) connectors at both ends, ensuring enhanced retention and preventing accidental disconnection—a critical requirement in data centers, server rooms, and industrial automation facilities where power continuity is non-negotiable. Engineered for reliability and durability, the WLock Cord C19/C20 is constructed with high-quality, flame-retardant materials that meet stringent IEC and UL standards, providing peace of mind in high-density computing environments. The locking mechanism requires deliberate, simultaneous pressure on both sides of the connector to disengage, significantly reducing the risk of unintended power loss due to vibration, accidental tugs, or human error. This feature is particularly valuable in applications such as: - **Data centers and colocation facilities**, where uptime is directly tied to revenue and customer trust. - **Industrial control systems (ICS) and SCADA environments**, where power disruptions can lead to costly downtime or safety hazards. - **Telecommunications infrastructure**, including 5G base stations and network operation centers, where stable power delivery is essential for uninterrupted service. - **Healthcare facilities**, including hospitals and imaging centers, where medical equipment reliability is critical for patient care. - **Commercial buildings and smart infrastructure**, where integrated power management systems demand secure, tamper-evident connections. The C19/C20 configuration ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard IEC 60320 receptacles, including those found on enterprise-grade PDUs, UPS systems, and IT hardware such as servers, switches, and storage arrays. While the locking feature requires compatible W-Lock or V-Lock outlets to function, the cord itself can be used in standard installations as a drop-in replacement for non-locking C19/C20 cords, offering future-proofing for facilities planning to upgrade to locking receptacles. Installation is straightforward, with no special tools required. The 0.6-meter length provides flexibility for tight rack configurations while minimizing excess cable clutter—a common pain point in densely populated server racks. For facilities managers and IT professionals, this cord represents a cost-effective solution to mitigate one of the most preventable causes of power-related equipment failure: accidental cord detachment. nVent’s reputation for engineering robust, high-performance electrical accessories is well-established, with a portfolio that includes thermal management, electrical enclosures, and connectivity solutions trusted by Fortune 500 companies and government agencies worldwide. The WLock Cord C19/C20 exemplifies this commitment, combining durability, security, and compliance in a single, bulk-packaged solution. Available in a 100-piece carton, it is ideal for large-scale deployments, maintenance contracts, or emergency spares, ensuring that critical infrastructure remains powered and protected. Whether you’re retrofitting an existing facility or designing a new high-availability power distribution network, the nVent WLock Cord C19/C20 delivers the reliability and security your operations demand. Trusted by industry leaders and backed by nVent’s global support network, this cord is more than just a power connection—it’s a safeguard for your most valuable assets.
