FAQ
What devices is this power cord kit compatible with?
This power cord kit is specifically designed for APC AP8000 series rack power distribution units (PDUs). It connects these PDUs to equipment with standard IEC C13 inlets, including servers, network switches, storage devices, and other rack-mounted hardware. The locking connectors ensure secure connections in vibration-prone environments.
How does the locking mechanism work on these connectors?
The locking mechanism uses a positive latch system on the IEC C13 and C14 connectors that requires deliberate action to disconnect. Once engaged, the connectors remain securely mated even when subjected to vibration or accidental pulling, preventing power interruptions to critical equipment in rack environments.
What is the exact length of this power cord?
The cord measures 5.9 feet (1.80 meters) from end to end. This length is optimized for standard 19-inch rack installations, providing sufficient reach for equipment mounted at various heights while minimizing excess cable that can contribute to clutter and airflow obstruction in rack cabinets.
Can this cord be used with non-APC power distribution units?
While the IEC C13 to C14 connectors are industry standard, this cord is specifically designed and tested for APC AP8000 series rack PDUs. Using it with other manufacturers' equipment may not provide optimal compatibility or maintain warranty coverage. For non-APC applications, verify connector compatibility and electrical specifications.
What warranty coverage does this power cord include?
APC by Schneider Electric provides a 2-year limited warranty for this power cord kit. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. For warranty service, retain your purchase documentation and contact APC support through authorized channels.
Why choose a locking power cord over standard connectors?
Locking power cords provide enhanced reliability in environments where vibration, accidental bumps, or cable tension could cause standard connectors to disengage. This is particularly important in data centers, server rooms, and network closets where power interruptions to critical equipment can cause service disruptions or data loss.
