| Greetings,
There is a big push in the data center industry to address the major problem of Independent Electrical Contractor (IEC) plugs coming loose on equipment & power strips.
Have you been experiencing this issue due to appliance vibration or accidental disconnects when maintenance and cabling work is performed in your racks?
A range of solutions is available to avoid unnecessary data center downtime by deploying IEC Secure Power Connections and/or Locking Power Connectors. PTS currently provides five (5) solutions for the market. Final recommendations are typically based upon requirements and budgets.
Solutions recommended by PTS include:
IEC Lock – Suitable for use with any standard IEC inlet; a button slides to engage a pin that drops down on the ground plug; UL approved
IEC C14 Grip Secure Insert – Excellent choice for use on the PDU side of the IEC secure power connection; inexpensive, but not yet UL approved
Schurter V-Lock Power Cord – Latches into the notched inlet or outlet to prevent accidental disconnect; yellow catch mechanism is easily released; UL approved
Raritan ETO Outlets – Used on PDU side of the IEC secure network connection; no proprietary cables required; UL approved
Power Cord Retention Clips – Suitable at both the PDU and equipment side; no proprietary cables required; several variations available
