The power cable of the Power Cords series from Moxa, type PWC-C13CN-3B-183, is a standardized power supply cable for use with devices featuring an AC input and a C13 connector for desktop power supplies. It is specifically designed for use in China, where the plug corresponds to the Chinese plug type and the electrical specifications comply with local standards. The cable serves as a connection between a socket and a device with a C13 socket, ensuring safe and compliant power supply.

Applications

The cable is intended for use in industrial, commercial, and IT environments where Moxa products or other devices with AC power supply connections are operated. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring regional power supply, such as in data centers, network and communication installations, or when installing industrial IT infrastructure in China. The use of the C13 connector allows connection to standard power supplies and AC adapters commonly integrated in many IT and industrial devices.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The cable features a C13 connector at the device end, which is inserted into the socket of a power supply or a device with an AC input. At the other end, there is a plug matching the Chinese plug type (PWC-CN). The cable length is 1830 mm ± 30 mm, providing sufficient reach for typical installation scenarios. The maximum current rating is 10 A, which is sufficient for most standard power supplies and IT devices. The cable construction is robust and designed for continuous operation.

Technology Explained Simply

Power supply is provided via the network cable, with the voltage specification for model PWC-C13CN-3B-183 being 250 VAC, complying with standards in China. The cable has a diameter of approximately 6.3 to 7.0 mm, ensuring adequate mechanical stability and electrical conductivity. The connection length at the device end is 300 mm ± 20 mm, enabling a secure connection without excessive strain on the cable. The cable is manufactured according to applicable standards for electrical power cords to ensure safe and reliable power supply.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is compatible with all devices featuring a C13 connector for AC power supply connection, particularly with Moxa products that have an AC input. It is not suitable for devices with other socket types such as C7 or C15, as these have different current ratings and mechanical requirements. Use with other plug types is not intended and may cause damage.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply inserting the C13 connector into the device's socket and the Chinese plug into a corresponding socket. It is important to ensure that the socket provides the required voltage (250 VAC) and the appropriate plug type configuration. The cable length of 1830 mm allows flexible positioning of the device relative to the socket. No additional tools or mounting aids are required.

Operational Advantages

The cable provides a reliable and compliant power supply, designed for continuous operation in industrial and IT environments. The regional adaptation of the plug enables easy and safe installation in China without requiring additional adapters or conversion devices. The robust construction and specific design for 10 A load capacity ensure safe and stable power supply even during extended operating periods.
