FAQ
What devices is this Cisco power cord compatible with?
This power cord is specifically designed for and compatible with the Cisco NCS1004 Network Convergence System. It is intended for devices that have a power supply unit requiring an IEC 60320 C21 female input connector. Always check your device's power input specifications to confirm compatibility before purchase.
What are the connector types on each end of this power cord?
One end features a standard IEC 60320 C14 male connector (3-pin), which typically plugs into a wall outlet, power strip, or PDU. The other end has an IEC 60320 C21 female connector (3-pin), which connects to the power input on compatible Cisco Network Convergence System devices like the NCS1004.
How long is the power cord?
The cord is 6.6 feet (approximately 2 meters) in total length. This provides a practical reach for connecting equipment in standard 19-inch racks or on equipment shelves, allowing for some flexibility in routing while avoiding excessive cable slack.
Is this a genuine Cisco part?
Yes, this is a genuine Cisco part with manufacturer part number NCS1K4-C21-C14-2M=. It is manufactured to Cisco's specifications for use with their Network Convergence System hardware, ensuring proper fit, electrical performance, and reliability.
Can this cord be used with other Cisco routers or switches?
This cord is specifically designed for Cisco Network Convergence System devices that require a C21 female power input, such as the NCS1004. It should not be used with other Cisco equipment unless that equipment explicitly requires the same C14-to-C21 connector configuration. Using an incorrect power cord can result in connection failure or damage.
What is the advantage of using this specific Cisco power cord over a generic one?
Using this Cisco-specific cord guarantees connector compatibility, correct pinout, and cable gauge suitable for the device's power draw. It ensures a secure physical fit and meets the electrical specifications of the NCS hardware, which is critical for reliable operation and maintaining warranty coverage. Generic cords may not have the correct C21 connector or may not meet the same quality and safety standards.
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.
