Selecting Power cable for cisco 3850 switch

[NGeo171]

Hello team

We are deploying a cisco 3850 switch and along with the BOM, CAB-C15-CBN is coming as the power cable. However, the customer is insisting to use C13-C14-2M . Can anyone please help me in understanding the difference between the above.

Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you

Hi there,

The CAB-C15-CBN has a 'notch' in the female end. They are used on high wattage PSU's. you will find a standard C13-C14 cable will not fit in the PSU.

cheers,

Seb.
