C13 PDU, C19 server

This mix is the common failure in a rack: the PDU is C13-only (Raritan PX3-5496V in our catalog: 24 × C13, no C19) and the PSU inlet is C20 (C19 coupler on the cord). Worked example: R760 2400 W + PX3-5496V.

C13 will not plug into C20. Even with an adapter, the C13 path is 10 A class and the inlet is 16 A class. That is not a valid feed.

Fix: a PDU with C19 outlets and an IEC C19–C20 jumper. Example on this site: Dell R760 2400 W + APC AP8853 uses C19 on the PDU, not C13.
