Deployment / Use Cases
The AP8712R power extension cord kit is ideal for data centers, server rooms, and network closets where APC AP8000 series rack PDUs are deployed. The locking connectors and flexible jumper cords make it particularly suitable for environments where vibration or accidental cable disconnection could cause service interruptions.
This kit supports both new installations and upgrades to existing APC rack PDU deployments. The multiple jumper cord configurations allow IT administrators to optimize cable management based on specific rack layouts and equipment placement requirements.
Data Center Power Distribution
Extend power connectivity between rack PDUs and equipment while maintaining secure, locked connections in high-density server environments.
Server Room Upgrades
Add flexible power connectivity options when expanding or reconfiguring existing APC rack PDU installations with new equipment.
Physical Profile
The AP8712R power extension cord features a black color that blends with standard rack equipment aesthetics. The 2-foot cord length provides sufficient reach for typical rack installations while minimizing excess cable that can impede airflow and complicate cable management. The 90-degree angled connectors facilitate clean cable routing in confined rack spaces.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.47 lb (1120.37 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
