Switches Plus Components’ CEEform (IEC) power connectors are available in multiple configurations, from the standard 3-pole 16 A or 32 A 230 V plug and sockets, through to 5-pole 63 A 400 V switched interlock devices.
Data centres are often built using internationally recognised products, and the requirement for power is usually handled by CEEform connectors built to IEC60309 standards, rather than the usual Australian industrial power connectors.
Switches Plus Components’ switched interlock products capture the plug in the ‘on’ position ensuring that accidental disconnection cannot occur. For added safety, the products are also rated to IP67 — the connectors are waterproof and the locking ring that is integral to the IP67 rating provides additional protection from accidental disconnection, especially if the power connectors are suspended from the ceiling to the racks below.
