APC by Schneider Electric 12 Cable Extender 5-WIRE #10 AWG - PDW12L21-20XC

APC by Schneider Electric PDW12L21-20XC Power Extender Cable

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric PDW12L21-20XC is a 3.66-meter (12 ft) power extender cable designed to distribute 120V/208V 3-phase power to multiple devices within a rack. It features a NEMA L21-20P locking inlet and 12 output receptacles, allowing you to efficiently power a series of rack-mounted equipment, such as network switches, NVRs, or servers, from a single power source. This model supports up to 20A input current, making it suitable for high-density power distribution in commercial or industrial environments.

Compatibility

This power extender cable is designed to connect to a 120V/208V 3-phase, 20A circuit with a NEMA L21-20R receptacle. The 12 output connections are standard 5-15R receptacles, suitable for most standard IT and surveillance equipment. It is intended for use with APC by Schneider Electric rack systems and power distribution units (PDUs) but is not limited to them, functioning as a general-purpose power extension solution for compatible power sources and devices.

Installation Notes

The cable length is 3.66 meters (12 ft), providing ample reach for most standard rack configurations. The NEMA L21-20P connector is a locking type, ensuring a secure connection to the power source and preventing accidental disconnection. The total input current capacity is 20A. Ensure the power source can supply adequate amperage for all connected devices to avoid overloading the circuit or the cable's capacity.
