Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for 230V AC applications, the AP9890 cords use standardized IEC 60320 C14 connectors to ensure secure mating with compatible devices. The 0.6-meter length provides practical reach without excess cable clutter, ideal for tight rack spaces.
Each cord weighs approximately 430 grams, contributing to manageable handling during deployment. The construction meets RoHS standards, eliminating hazardous substances for safer workplace and disposal practices. These technical attributes make the kit a straightforward solution for extending power within defined parameters.
This section brings together practical product details such as First End Connector Type, Voltage Rating, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
Beyond basic extension functionality, the AP9890 kit offers advantages in scalability, compliance, and reliability. The RoHS certification aligns with corporate sustainability goals, while the two-year warranty provides assurance against manufacturing defects. The cords' standardized connectors prevent mating issues, ensuring consistent power delivery across deployments.
Multi-Cord Convenience
The kit includes five identical power cords, enabling simultaneous deployment for multiple devices without separate purchases. This bulk packaging reduces procurement time and ensures consistency across installations.
- Five cords per kit
- Uniform specifications
- Ready for immediate use
APC Ecosystem Compatibility
Designed specifically for APC power distribution units, UPS systems, and automatic transfer switches, these cords integrate seamlessly into existing APC infrastructure. The compatibility reduces compatibility risks in mixed-vendor environments.
- Works with APC rack PDUs
- Supports UPS and ATS units
- Fits separate branch circuits
Deployment / Use Cases
These power cords are suited for data centers, server rooms, and network closets where APC power distribution equipment is deployed. They enable flexible equipment placement by bridging gaps between fixed outlets and device power inputs.
Common scenarios include extending power to newly added rack units, relocating existing devices within cabinets, or connecting auxiliary equipment to dedicated circuits. The kit's five-cord quantity supports small to medium deployment scales efficiently.
Rack-Mount PDU Extensions
Extend power from APC rack-mounted PDUs to servers, switches, and storage devices positioned further back in the cabinet. The 0.6-meter length is optimal for reaching equipment mounted in middle or rear positions without straining connections.
UPS and ATS Connectivity
Connect APC UPS systems or automatic transfer switches to supported devices where outlet proximity is limited. The 230V AC rating ensures stable power transmission for critical backup and switching applications.
Physical Profile
The AP9890 cords feature a sleek black design that minimizes visual distraction in professional IT environments. With a 0.6-meter length, they provide adequate reach for typical rack adjustments without excessive slack. The approximate weight of 430 grams per cord allows for easy handling and organization during installation.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 15.20 oz (430.91 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
