Middle Atlantic SignalSAFE IEC-18X20-90L Standard Power Cord

The SignalSAFE IEC power cords from Middle Atlantic are engineered to elevate reliability and safety in professional environments. Designed for demanding AV, rack, and IT installations, this cord delivers a clean, secure power connection from your outlet to your equipment. Built to handle the rigors of daily rack use, it minimizes signal interference, reduces heat buildup, and simplifies cable management in busy server rooms, control rooms, and broadcast setups. With a focus on durability, ergonomic flexibility, and compatibility with common IEC 60320 standards, the SignalSAFE IEC-18X20-90L stands out as a dependable power solution for critical gear. Whether you’re powering servers, switches, AV receivers, displays, or other sensitive electronics, this cord helps ensure consistent performance and minimal downtime.

• Reliable IEC power connection — The SignalSAFE cord uses a standard IEC 60320 C13 first-end connector, enabling seamless compatibility with a wide range of equipment and keeping power delivery stable under load. Its robust construction minimizes wear over repeated plug-in cycles and reduces the risk of intermittent connections that can disrupt operations.
• Flexible installation with 90° options — Available with standard or low-profile, 90-degree angled plugs, this cord is designed for tight rack enclosures and furniture-mounted deployments. The 90° orientation helps with cable routing along aisles, behind equipment, and in crowded cabinet spaces, while preserving space for airflow and maintenance access.
• Generous length for versatile setups — Measuring 90 inches, the cord provides ample reach from outlets located behind racks, furniture, or in elevated rack rooms to keep power paths clean and unobtrusive. The longer length reduces strain on connectors and minimizes the need for excessive slack or extensions in busy installations.
• Durable construction for daily use — Built with a rugged jacket and high-quality conductors, SignalSAFE cords are made to withstand the vibrations, bends, and frequent handling common in professional environments. The durable sheath protects against abrasion, scuffing, and environmental exposure in server rooms and AV racks.
• Designed for professional environments — Ideal for data centers, broadcast suites, conference rooms, and post-production facilities, this power cord supports equipment longevity and predictable power delivery. It’s a dependable choice for rack-mount gear, audio-visual gear, and other electronics that rely on a clean, reliable power connection.

How to install Middle Atlantic SignalSAFE IEC-18X20-90L Standard Power Cord

• Prepare the installation area by powering down all equipment connected to the cord to prevent shock or data loss during changes.
• Identify the device end (IEC 60320 C13 inlet) and ensure the equipment accepts a C13 connection and that the power outlet is compatible with the corresponding plug configuration.
• Route the cord along clean paths away from heat sources and sharp edges. Use cable ties or management channels to keep the cord secure without over-tightening, which could stress the connectors.
• Connect the IEC 60320 C13 end to the equipment inlet. Ensure a snug, fully seated connection to avoid arcing or intermittent power delivery.
• Install the 90° angled plug at the power outlet end in a position that minimizes bending near the outlet and maximizes clearance for other cables and airflow.
• Power on the equipment and verify that all devices receive stable power. Check for any signs of warmth or unusual resistance at connectors and replace if necessary.
