FAQ
What is the voltage rating of the Cisco CAB-ACS-16= power cord?
The Cisco CAB-ACS-16= power cord is rated for 250 volts alternating current (250 V AC). This voltage rating is designed to match the input requirements of compatible Cisco high-wattage power supplies, ensuring safe and efficient power delivery to connected networking equipment like switches.
How long is the power cord?
This power cord has a total length of 14 feet, which is equivalent to approximately 4.27 meters. This extended length provides greater installation flexibility, allowing you to connect equipment to power sources that are farther away, which is particularly useful in rack-mounted setups or environments with limited outlet proximity.
Which Cisco devices is this power cord compatible with?
The Cisco CAB-ACS-16= power cord is compatible with several high-wattage Cisco power supplies. It is specifically designed for the 8700W power supply used with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. Additionally, it is compatible with other power supply models including the 1400 W (PWR-1400-AC=), 2700 W (PWR-2700-AC), 3000 W (WS-CAC-3000W), and 6000 W power supplies.
Is this power cord suitable for data center use?
Yes, this power cord is well-suited for data center environments. Its heavy-duty construction and 250V AC rating support the power demands of enterprise networking equipment. The 14-foot length aids in cable management within racks, allowing connections to power distribution units (PDUs) that may be located at a distance, which is common in data center layouts.
Can I use this cord as a replacement for an existing Cisco power cord?
Yes, the Cisco CAB-ACS-16= power cord can serve as a direct replacement for original power cords on compatible Cisco power supplies. It is particularly useful if the original cord is damaged, too short for your current setup, or if you need an additional cord for a new installation. Ensure your power supply model is listed in the compatibility specifications before use.
What are the key benefits of the 14-foot cord length?
The 14-foot cord length offers several practical benefits: it reduces strain on connectors by allowing more slack, facilitates cleaner cable routing around rack obstructions, and enables equipment placement farther from power sources. This is especially valuable in crowded racks or when power outlets are not ideally positioned, enhancing both safety and organization in network installations.
