Where it fits on site
Use the 1.2m length for short runs between a rack PDU and mid- or high-U equipment, or from a nearby wall socket into a small comms cabinet serving a retail back-office, warehouse office or residential block plant room. It's not intended as a long equipment-to-wall run — for that, check whether a longer lead suits the layout better.
The right-angle C13 connector helps where PSU clearance behind a shallow rack shelf is tight; the straight connector suits front-panel or open-frame access. Moulded strain relief is built to withstand routine rack door cycling and cable tray routing without stressing the connector joint.
Specify fuse rating to match the connected load and confirm the target device carries a standard IEC C14 inlet before ordering.
