Product Features
Technical Overview
These power cords utilize locking IEC receptacles that physically secure the connection between the cord and PDU, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection that could cause equipment downtime. The universal fit design works with any standard IEC receptacles, while the exclusive locking mechanism is specifically engineered for APC AP8000 Series Rack PDUs.
The cords are constructed with North American regional input sockets and comply with international safety standards. With a current rating of 10A and cord length of 0.1" (1.78 mm), they provide sufficient power delivery capacity for most rack PDU applications while maintaining manageable cable lengths.
Relevant factors for this section include First End Connector Type, First End Connector Detail, Second End Connector Type, Current Rating. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
What devices are these power cords compatible with?
These power cords are specifically designed for APC AP8000 Series Rack PDUs. They feature standard IEC 60320 C13 to C14 connectors that work with any equipment using IEC receptacles, but the exclusive locking mechanism is optimized for secure connection to APC AP8000 Series PDUs in rack-mounted configurations.
How does the locking mechanism work?
The locking mechanism physically secures the power cord to the PDU receptacle, preventing accidental disconnection. This is particularly valuable in data center environments where vibration, cable management adjustments, or accidental bumps could otherwise disconnect power to critical equipment, potentially causing downtime.
What is the current rating of these power cords?
These power cords have a 10A current rating, which supports typical power requirements for rack-mounted equipment connected to PDUs. This rating ensures safe power delivery for servers, networking gear, and other standard data center equipment without exceeding the cord's electrical capacity.
How many cords are included in the kit?
The AP8706S-NA kit includes six identical power cords. This quantity supports multiple equipment connections within a single rack deployment, making it suitable for outfitting a complete rack or expanding existing installations without needing to purchase individual cords separately.
Are these cords environmentally compliant?
Yes, these power cords are manufactured with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance and use environmentally friendly materials. They meet modern sustainability standards for IT infrastructure components and are produced with responsible manufacturing practices in Singapore.
What warranty coverage is provided?
APC by Schneider Electric provides a 2-year limited warranty for this power cord kit. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and ensures product reliability for critical power connectivity applications in data center and server room environments.
