Product Features
Technical Overview
This power cord kit is engineered with IEC 60320 C13 and C14 connectors, the standard interface for many IT and networking devices. The 90-degree angled design allows for tighter bends and reduced strain on connectors, which is particularly advantageous in confined rack spaces where straight connectors might interfere with adjacent equipment or airflow.
The cords are constructed with a 1.8-meter (5.9-foot) length, providing sufficient reach for typical rack installations without excessive slack. The black color blends discreetly with most rack hardware, supporting a clean, professional appearance.
This section brings together practical product details such as First End Connector Type, First End Connector Detail, Second End Connector Type, Cord Length, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
This kit addresses common cable management challenges in rack environments by combining locking security with space-saving angled connectors. The inclusion of both left-angle and right-angle cords provides flexibility for routing cables around obstacles and organizing them neatly along rack rails.
Secure Locking Mechanism
The locking connectors prevent accidental disconnections, which is critical for maintaining uptime in environments where vibration or incidental contact might occur.
- Reduces downtime risk
- Ensures stable power connections
Optimized for Rack PDUs
Specifically compatible with APC AP8000 Series rack PDUs, these cords are tested and validated for reliable performance with those units, ensuring proper fit and electrical safety.
- Validated compatibility
- Designed for APC PDUs
Deployment / Use Cases
This power cord kit is ideal for IT professionals deploying or expanding rack-based infrastructure. It serves as a ready-to-use solution for connecting APC AP8000 Series rack PDUs to servers, switches, storage arrays, and other rack-mounted equipment that uses C13 inlet power connectors.
Common deployment scenarios include data center build-outs, server room upgrades, and network closet installations where standardized, reliable power cabling is required. The kit's six cords allow for connecting multiple devices from a single PDU, streamlining initial setup or expansion projects.
Data Center Rack Wiring
Use these cords to wire new racks or replace existing cables in data centers, ensuring consistent, secure connections across all PDU outlets.
IT Infrastructure Expansion
When adding new servers or networking gear to an existing rack, this kit provides the necessary power cords without requiring separate purchases or compatibility checks.
Physical Profile
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.98 lb (1350 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
Physical fit matters beyond raw measurements because it affects placement, airflow, cable routing, handling, and day-to-day service access. Buyers often review this section to reduce installation surprises and confirm whether the product will sit cleanly in the intended desk, shelf, rack, cabinet, or shared workspace.

FAQ
What devices are these power cords compatible with?
These cords are specifically designed for APC AP8000 Series rack PDUs and are compatible with any equipment that uses a standard IEC 60320 C13 power inlet, such as servers, switches, and storage devices commonly found in data centers and server rooms.
What is the advantage of the 90-degree angled connectors?
The 90-degree angled connectors allow for tighter cable routing in confined rack spaces, reducing strain on the connectors and minimizing interference with adjacent equipment or airflow. This design helps optimize cable management and improves overall rack organization.
How many cords are included in the kit?
The kit includes six jumper cords total: three with left-angle connectors and three with right-angle connectors. This provides flexibility for routing cables around obstacles and organizing them neatly along both sides of a rack.
What is the locking mechanism on these cords?
The locking mechanism secures the connector in place once plugged in, preventing accidental dislodgement due to vibration, cable tension, or incidental contact. This feature enhances reliability by maintaining stable power connections in dynamic environments.
What is the cord length, and is it sufficient for rack use?
Each cord is 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) long, which is a standard length for rack installations. This provides enough reach to connect PDU outlets to equipment mounted at various heights in a rack without excessive slack that could impede airflow or management.
What warranty comes with this power cord kit?
APC by Schneider Electric provides a 2-year limited warranty for this power cord kit, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty supports the product's reliability and gives buyers confidence in its durability for professional IT deployments.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
Is this unit designed for rack or tower deployment?
For power-protection products, the most useful FAQ topics are usually capacity, outlet arrangement, runtime characteristics, and installation format. Those details do more to explain real deployment fit than generic marketing language.
