cookie_monster Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) I received a new HP 3500 switch today and popped it in the rack but had trouble fitting the power lead in, on further inspection I noticed that the power connector has a little lug on that is stopping the power lead connector from fitting non of our other HP switches (2900 and 2600s) have this. I need a passthrough power cable with the grove cut out so I can connect the switch to the APC UPS can anyone tell me what I should be searching for, is there a specific name for this connector I can't seem to find one. To clarify I need a lead like in the link below but with a groove below the middle pin. Steren - 505-370 - 6' Computer Equipment Power Cord Extension from $2.99 - Electronics at Gigaweb.com I have a feeling the answer will be obviouse Thanks. EDIT It's a C15 connector, now to find where to buy one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_connector#C15_and_C16_connectors Edited April 12, 2010 by cookie_monster
steve Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Are you after a cable with the IEC 60320 C15 connector on? Have a look on IEC connector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia to see all the variations. EDIT Bet me too it.

AngryTechnician Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Frankly, I'm worried about the fact that HP expect their switches to get hot enough to require a mains lead rated up to 120°C. Especially because I have a 3500 on my budget bid this year.
