There is no need for special locking sockets that take up extra space & have a higher cost. Ensure a secure power connection to critical equipment while saving both time & money using this innovative locking connector. Providing power to a server or switch is critical & a secure connection provides peace of mind. When working in a wiring closet or a cabinet space is limited & cords can easily get in the way & accidently be disconnected causing detrimental downtime. Perform maintenance tasks with complete confidence that the locking power cords will maintain connection without failure. Cable install or uninstall can be very challenging when little space is available in a cabinet. The locking mechanism could not be simpler to operate. To install the cable plug it in as normal, or to unplug the cable simply grip the connector as normal but place your fingers on the release triggers & pull, the connector will come unplugged just like a normal cable.
