What is a C13 to C14 power cord used for?
I received a C13 to C14 2' power cord with my Dell order. I'm not sure what is used for other than a two foot extension. Can anyone tell me what these are used for?

This cable actually came for a rack mount server. In the picture above, the left side would go into the power supply...where would the right side go into other than another connector exactly like the left side?
Can you elaborate on how this can save space for International standardization?

Sorry. That's the back of an APC 3000VA UPS for the UK market.
Input: 230V via 1x IEC-320 C20.
Output : 230V via 8x IEC 320 C13 and 1x IEC 320 C19
C13 and C19 are sockets. C14 and C20 are plugs.

Thanks!
These cables have a variety of common uses including connecting power between older PCs and their monitors, extending existing power cords, connecting to C13 socket strips (commonly used with rackmount gear to save space and for international standardization) and connecting computer equipment to the output of a UPS (larger UPSs often have C19 outlets as well.)
