Overview

The Lenovo 47C2492 is an IEC 320 C13-to-C20 power cable designed for environments where standard 10A power cords fall short. Rated at 16A and supporting 100–250 VAC, it bridges the gap between high-draw equipment—such as servers, UPS units, and network switches—and power distribution units equipped with C19 outlets. The 8-foot (2.5-meter) length gives administrators flexibility when routing cables through racks and cable management systems.

Built with durable connectors and robust insulation, this cable is intended for always-on data center and enterprise deployments where reliability is non-negotiable. The connectors follow the IEC 60320 standard, so while it carries the Lenovo name, it is fully compatible with any equipment that uses the same connector types. For anyone outfitting or maintaining a server rack, this cable is a practical, no-surprises component.
