Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord kit features locking connectors that provide a positive mechanical latch, preventing loose connections that can cause power interruptions. The IEC 60320 C13 connector interfaces with standard equipment power inputs, while the C14 connector mates with PDU outlets, creating a complete power pathway from distribution to device.
Each cable in the kit measures 3.9 feet (1.20 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach for typical rack configurations without excessive slack. The cables are constructed with durable materials to withstand the physical demands of data center environments, including repeated insertion and removal cycles.
Relevant factors for this section include First End Connector Type, First End Connector Detail, Second End Connector Type, Cord Length. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The locking mechanism represents a significant improvement over standard power cords in environments where vibration or accidental contact might dislodge connections. This feature ensures continuous power delivery to critical equipment, reducing the risk of unexpected downtime.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Secure Connections, Bulk Efficiency.
Secure Connections
Locking connectors maintain positive engagement even in environments with equipment vibration or movement, providing reliable power continuity.
- Prevents accidental disconnection
- Reduces maintenance interventions
- Improves system reliability
Bulk Efficiency
Purchasing six identical cables in one kit simplifies procurement and ensures consistency across your rack installations.
- Standardized cable management
- Reduces ordering complexity
- Ensures compatibility across deployments
Deployment / Use Cases
This power cord kit is specifically designed for use with APC AP8000 series rack PDUs in data center and server room environments. The locking connectors make these cables ideal for installations where equipment vibration or accidental contact could compromise standard power connections.
Typical applications include server racks, network equipment cabinets, storage arrays, and telecommunications installations where reliable power distribution is critical. The kit format supports efficient deployment across multiple rack units or for stocking spares to maintain consistent cable standards throughout your facility.
Data Center Racks
Connect servers, switches, and storage devices to APC AP8000 series PDUs with secure locking connections that withstand rack vibration and maintenance activities.
Equipment Refresh Projects
Standardize power cabling during technology upgrades or new installations, ensuring all connections use identical locking cables for consistency and reliability.
Physical Profile
The black color provides a professional appearance that blends with most rack equipment, while the 1.2-meter length offers practical reach without creating excessive cable clutter. Each cable is designed with sufficient flexibility for proper routing through cable management channels while maintaining the durability needed for repeated use in data center environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.23 lb (1010 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What devices are these power cords compatible with?
These locking power cords are specifically designed for use with APC AP8000 series rack PDUs. The C13 connector interfaces with standard server, network, and storage equipment power inputs, while the C14 connector mates with PDU outlets. They are not recommended for use with non-APC PDUs or equipment with different connector requirements without verifying compatibility first.
Why are locking connectors important for power cords?
Locking connectors provide a mechanical latch that prevents accidental disconnection, which is crucial in data center environments where equipment vibration, maintenance activities, or accidental contact could loosen standard power connections. This feature ensures continuous power delivery to critical equipment, reducing the risk of unexpected downtime that can result from loose power cables in rack installations.
How many cables come in this kit and what length are they?
The AP8704S-WW Power Cord Kit includes six identical locking power cables, each measuring 3.9 feet (1.20 meters) in length. This bulk packaging simplifies procurement for multiple connections within a rack or across several racks, ensuring consistency in cable specifications throughout your deployment while providing sufficient reach for typical rack configurations.
What is the warranty coverage for these power cords?
APC by Schneider Electric provides a 2-year limited warranty for the AP8704S-WW Power Cord Kit. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. For complete warranty details and claim procedures, consult the official APC warranty documentation or contact Schneider Electric customer support directly with your proof of purchase.
Can these cables be used with non-APC PDUs?
While the C13 to C14 connectors are standard IEC 60320 interfaces, these cables are specifically tested and validated for APC AP8000 series rack PDUs. Using them with other PDU brands or models may work mechanically but could void warranty coverage and may not provide optimal performance. Always verify connector compatibility and electrical specifications before using power cables with equipment from different manufacturers.
What are the advantages of buying power cords in a kit versus individually?
Purchasing power cords in a six-pack kit ensures consistency across your installation, simplifies procurement and inventory management, and often provides better value compared to buying individual cables. The kit format guarantees all cables have identical specifications, length, color, and connector types, which is particularly important for maintaining clean cable management and reliable connections in professional rack environments.
