Data Center
Power Connectivity.

Global manufacturing partnerships. A U.S. market focus. We’re building a specialized infrastructure supply business, starting with IEC power cords for server, networking, and rack environments.

Building a qualified supply network

Starting with the connections
that power the rack.

Our first focus is on two IEC cord-set families. We’re gathering buyer requirements and evaluating manufacturing partners to define suitable configurations for the U.S. market.

Server & Network Applications

IEC C13 / C14 Power Cords

For compatible server, networking, storage, and rack PDU connections. Our qualification work will focus on matching each assembly to the equipment and installation requirements.

Configurations to evaluate
  • Conductor gauge
  • Cable specification
  • Length & color
  • Assembly ratings
Discuss C13 / C14 requirements →
Higher-Power Equipment Applications

IEC C19 / C20 Power Cords

For compatible higher-power servers, storage, UPS, and rack equipment, including selected AI and HPC applications. Suitability depends on the exact equipment, assembly ratings, and operating conditions.

Configurations to evaluate
  • Load requirements
  • Conductor gauge
  • Connector fit
  • Length & routing
Discuss C19 / C20 requirements →

Currently in development. Product availability, specifications, certifications, pricing, and lead times will be confirmed after supplier and product qualification.

Built around real infrastructure needs.

We welcome early conversations with the teams that specify, integrate, source, and operate data-center infrastructure.

01 / OPERATORS

Data Centers & Hosting

Colocation and hosting providers, enterprise data centers, and AI or HPC infrastructure teams planning rack power requirements.

02 / INTEGRATORS

Systems & Rack Integration

Server and networking integrators, rack builders, and data-center contractors coordinating equipment connections and installations.

03 / CHANNEL PARTNERS

Distribution & Resale

Value-added resellers and infrastructure distributors exploring future sourcing options, repeatable configurations, and private-label opportunities.

Global manufacturing.
U.S. market focus.

We’re developing a partner-led sourcing model, including manufacturer evaluation in India and other global markets. Our planned approach starts with the application and follows the evidence through qualification.

01

Define the Requirement

Document connector types, cable construction, lengths, equipment ratings, volumes, and intended use.

02

Evaluate the Manufacturer

Review production capabilities, molding and assembly processes, testing, documentation, and OEM readiness.

03

Qualify the Product

Assess samples, verify applicable certification scope, and agree on specifications and quality expectations.

04

Plan the Supply

Establish pilot quantities, commercial terms, lead times, and logistics before making delivery commitments.

Confidence starts
with verification.

Our qualification approach is built around documented requirements, product-level evidence, and clear accountability. Your infrastructure deserves that level of care.

Our current stage: SMEAI is evaluating manufacturing partnerships and product configurations. We do not currently claim UL certification for our proposed cord sets.

  • Finished-Product Certification

    Verify applicable U.S. safety certification for the exact finished cord-set construction, including file details and scope. Component or cable approvals alone are not a substitute for finished-product verification.

  • Electrical & Mechanical Testing

    Review the manufacturer’s test methods, acceptance criteria, and records against agreed specifications and applicable requirements.

  • Traceability & Change Control

    Evaluate material and batch traceability, inspection records, and controls for changes to cable, connectors, and assembly construction.

  • Clear, Configuration-Specific Claims

    Confirm ratings, certification status, and availability for each qualified configuration before representing it as ready for supply.

A focused start.
Room to build further.

Beyond our initial cord-set focus, we plan to evaluate adjacent products as customer needs and qualified manufacturing capabilities develop. These are areas for exploration, not currently available offerings.

High-Retention & Locking Cords

Options for connection security in compatible rack environments.

C21 / C22 Connectivity

Higher-temperature applications, subject to construction and certification review.

Custom Lengths & Colors

Configurations aligned with rack routing and circuit identification needs.

Rack-Specific Cable Kits

Coordinated cord selections for defined equipment and rack layouts.

Power Whips & Assemblies

Custom power assemblies requiring separate engineering and qualification.

Cable & Rack Management

Related products to support organized infrastructure installations.

Let’s build a qualified supply partnership.

We’re evaluating manufacturers with experience in molded IEC power cords, cable assemblies, electrical testing, and international certification.

If you’re interested in a potential OEM or private-label relationship focused on the U.S. market, we’d like to understand your capabilities.
