FAQ
Which Cisco switches are compatible with this power cord?
This L-shaped power cord is specifically compatible with Cisco Catalyst 2940-8TF-S and 2940-8TT-S switches. These are fixed-configuration switches designed for small to medium business networking environments. The cord provides standard power connectivity with the angled connector design that works with these specific switch models' power input ports.
What are the benefits of the L-shaped connector design?
The L-shaped connector offers several practical benefits for network installations. It reduces the space required behind switches by minimizing cable protrusion, which is particularly valuable in rack environments with limited depth. This design helps maintain cleaner cable management, improves airflow around equipment, and allows for tighter installations where traditional straight connectors might create clearance issues or cable strain.
Is this power cord suitable for rack-mounted equipment?
Yes, this power cord is well-suited for rack-mounted networking equipment. The angled connector design is specifically advantageous in standard 19-inch rack installations where rear clearance is often limited. By reducing the cable footprint behind switches, it helps technicians maintain organized cable bundles and improves accessibility for maintenance while ensuring reliable power delivery to compatible Cisco Catalyst switches.
What type of power cord is the CAB-ACC-RA=?
The CAB-ACC-RA= is a standard power cord with an L-shaped connector. It provides standard electrical connectivity for compatible Cisco networking equipment. The cord is constructed to meet typical data center and office environment requirements, with the distinctive angled connector that differentiates it from traditional straight power cords commonly used with networking hardware.
Can this power cord be used with other Cisco equipment?
This power cord is specifically designed and tested for compatibility with Cisco Catalyst 2940-8TF-S and 2940-8TT-S switches. While it may physically fit other equipment with similar power connectors, Cisco only guarantees proper operation and safety with these specified switch models. For other Cisco equipment, consult the manufacturer's documentation for recommended power cord specifications.
How does this power cord improve installation quality?
