[U2] Simple OT question
With every computer (and other) connector having a 'name', ie cat-5, db25 etc, what is the name of the female end (computer end) of the AC power cord? No joke, just curious. Thanks in advance.

RE: [U2] Simple OT question
For use in USA check the NEMA standards - in many industries connectors of this type (20 amps and less) would be referred to as a Female Parallel Blade U-Ground connector. Again, check NEMA and UL (Underwriter's Laboratories) for more specific terminology.

Re: [U2] Simple OT question
Mark, I asked our PC techs here and they tell me it's referred to as a Square-D (pronounced Square Dee) connector. HTH, Gordon Gordon J.

RE: [U2] Simple OT question
AC Power cord, female. ;-) Actually, cat-5 is the name of the CABLE, not the connectors. The connectors that go on cat5, cat5e and cat6 cables are called RJ-45. db9 and db25 come in both male and female, as do AC power cords ;-) Larry Hiscock Western Computer Services -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Johnson Sent: Sunday, February 05, 2006 5:41 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Simple OT question With every computer (and other) connector having a 'name', ie cat-5, db25 etc, what is the name of the female end (computer end) of the AC power cord?

To answer directly the connector is an IEC320 BizMach connector. See http://www.boltproducts.com/heyco/iec-cordset-components.html for details.

Re: [U2] Simple OT question
Evidently, it's a C-14 inlet socket: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320_C13 which lies terribly often, but links to: http://www.accesscomms.com.au/iec320.htm and the images.google.com gives you: http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10hl=ensafe=offq=c14 +inletspell=1 Mike Doyle Unix Administrator / Developer AMO Recoveries, Inc.

Re: [U2] Simple OT question
Granted, it's RJ-45 or RJ-11 or RJ-12 depending on the number of wires. I was just curious as we were discussing connector names for a few minutes and came up with easily over 50 (audio, video, A/C of course computers). The Square-D was the one that stumped us.
