Equipment-Cooling Fan Power Cords
Plug these cords into fans that have quick-disconnect terminals. The industry designation is SPT, so they have a flat cord shape.
Cords with a 90° elbow socket fit flush against the fan, so they fit in tight spaces.
Cords with a 45° elbow socket fit close against the fan.
Cords with an on/off thumb control can be manually turned on and off to regulate equipment temperature. Those with a temperature switch turn a fan on when the temperature reaches 88° F and off when it falls to 80° F. They are not adjustable.
