SANS 164 Plug to IEC 60320 C15 Receptacle
The South African High Temp Power Cord with SANS 164 Plug to IEC C15 Connector is a premium, SABS-certified international power cable engineered for high-temperature environments in South Africa (and compatible with Type M outlets in India). It features a durable 3-pin SANS 164-1 plug on one end, compliant with South African National Standards (SANS), and an IEC 60320 C15 female connector on the other end, rated for up to 120°C operation. This cord is optimized for heat-generating devices such as servers, networking equipment, laser printers, and industrial appliances that require elevated temperature tolerance. Constructed with flexible H05VV-F PVC-insulated or H05RR-F Rubber-insulated wiring and oxygen-free copper conductors, it ensures reliable performance in demanding conditions up to 70°C ambient (with connector up to 120°C). Available in standard 10A configurations, it supports custom lengths and bulk production for OEM, wholesale, or specialized applications.

Cable Applications
This cord is specifically designed for appliances that generate significant heat, including:
- Network Switches & Routers (especially rack-mounted enterprise gear)
- Server PDU Inlets (Power Distribution Units)
- Industrial Equipment
- Professional Audio/Video Power Amps
- Commercial Kitchen Appliances
- Scientific and Laboratory Equipment
- Gaming Consoles & High-Performance Computing (under heavy load)
Important Note: *The IEC C15 connector is physically compatible with a standard IEC C13 inlet (found on most computers), but it should only be used where the high-temperature rating is required. Using a standard C13 cord in a C15 high-temperature application is a fire hazard.*
