SANS 164-1 Plug to IEC 60320 C19 Receptacle
The South African Server Power Cord with SANS 164 Plug to IEC C19 Connector is a robust, SABS-certified AC power cable designed for high-capacity server and data center applications in South Africa (and compatible with Type M outlets in India). It features a heavy-duty 3-pin SANS 164-1 plug on one end, fully compliant with South African National Standards (SANS), and an IEC 60320 C19 female connector on the other end, rated for 16A loads. This cord is specifically engineered for powering Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), rack-mounted servers, and high-wattage IT equipment. Mostly built with 1.5mm² H05VV-F PVC-insulated wiring and stranded copper conductors, it delivers reliable performance in demanding environments up to 70°C. Custom lengths and bulk configurations are available for OEM, wholesale, or enterprise deployments.
