Each subtype is identified by a unique specification code (such as NEMA 5-15P, NEMA L14-30P) that clearly distinguishes between power capacities, grounding features, and intended usage—making it easier for facility managers and procurement professionals to source the proper. Each subtype is identified by a unique specification code (such as NEMA 5-15P, NEMA L14-30P) that clearly distinguishes between power capacities, grounding features, and intended usage—making it easier for facility managers and procurement professionals to source the proper. Each power supply has a separate power cord. Standard power cords or jumper power cords are available for connection to the appliance. In this guide, we will categorize power cords into three key dimensions: Regional Standards, Cable Construction, and Special Application Scenarios. What plug is required? / What is your desitination country? How many conductors? (Most common 2 or 3) What cordage is required? What size, temperature. This comprehensive guide explains global power cord types used in IT, data centers, and enterprise networks. It covers IEC 60320 connector families (C13/C14, C15/C16, C19/C20), NEMA plugs used across North America and Asia, European CEE 7/7 standards, and other national plug formats for worldwide. The power supply cords and the interconnection cords are based on standardized individual components (connectors, power plugs or appliance outlets and various power cord types).
