You upgraded to a newer miner with a P13 inlet, but your racks are full of PDUs with C13 outlets. Replacing every PDU is expensive. Rewiring is worse. This cable is the bridge.
The Valiant Power P13 to Dual C14 Splitter Cable connects one P13 miner to two C13 outlets on the PDU you already own.
Why two outlets for one miner?
A single C13 outlet is not built to carry the full draw of a modern miner. Current-generation units pull 3,000 watts or more. Spreading that load across two C13 outlets keeps each outlet and connector within a more comfortable range, which means less heat at the connection.
That is the whole idea: one P13 end at the miner, two plugs at the PDU, with the load shared between them.
Check this before you plug in
- Your PDU's total capacity. Splitting across two outlets does not add capacity to the PDU. If you have a 30A PDU at 240V, plan on about 5,760W of continuous load for the whole strip.
- The miner's real draw. Look up wall watts at the settings you run, not just the spec sheet.
- Breaker groups. If your PDU splits outlets across two breakers, know which outlets are on which, so you do not overload one side.
Specs
| Miner end | P13 |

| Voltage | 240V |
| Wire | 12AWG, 100% copper |
| Lengths | 3 ft, 6 ft, 10 ft |
When this cable is the right call
- You have existing C13 PDUs and are adding P13 miners.
- You are mixing older C14 miners and newer P13 miners on the same PDUs.
- You want to avoid buying new PDUs during an upgrade.
When something else is better
If your PDU has C19 outlets, a C20 to P13 cord uses one outlet instead of two. If you are building out new racks, a 50A PDU with P13 outlets connects miners directly and shows you the load.
Frequently asked questions
Which miners have P13 inlets?
Many newer Bitmain models. Check the label next to the power inlet on your unit.
Can I plug both ends into the same PDU?
Yes, that is the intended use. Just keep the total load on the PDU within its rating.
Is the wire all copper?
Yes, 12AWG with 100% copper conductors.
