IEC Splitter Cords for Data Centers
Data centers have a lot of equipment that requires a lot of power, and sometimes with finite power outlets. This makes splitter cords ideal for this type of business. Splitter cords allow multiple smaller devices, like servers, network switches, or firewalls, to be powered from a single PDU outlet. This can maximize the utilization of available power outlets and reduce the need for more PDUs.
Other benefits of splitter cords for data centers include:
- Cable organization
- Easier management and troubleshooting of equipment
- Cost-Effective
- Flexibility
Important Considerations for Splitter Cords in Data Centers
One of the most important considerations for data center splitter cords is ensuring that the total power consumption of all devices connected to a splitter cord does not exceed the rating of the outlet, the splitter cord itself, and the circuit. Overloading can lead to overheating, tripped circuit breakers, and even fire hazards. To avoid this, it is best to use splitter cords for low-power devices.
The other main consideration for data centers is making sure the splitter cords are compatible with the equipment. Different types of splitter cords exist (e.g., IEC splitters, NEMA splitters) depending on the type of power connectors used in the data center. Choosing the correct type is essential for compatibility.

Frequently Asked Question
Some of the most common splitter cord power outlets in data centers are IEC C20 to 2x C13, IEC C20 to 2x C19, and IEC C14 to 2x C13. SIGNAL+POWER stocks a range of splitter cords that are widely used in data centers and crypto mining farms.
Many enterprise-grade servers have C14 inlets. A C20 to 2x C13 splitter cord is commonly used to power two rackmount servers from a single PDU outlet.
First, check for obvious physical damage. If it looks good, test with equipment that you know works. If equipment that’s connected to either leg doesn’t turn on, the splitter cord needs to be replaced. You can also use a multimeter in continuity mode to test each pin from the male plug to the matching pins in each female output. All 3 lines should have low resistance and be continuous. If not, it’s defective and needs to be replaced.
