Description

APC by Schneider Electric PDW13L21-20R Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric PDW13L21-20R is a 13-foot, 5-wire whip designed to connect Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units with L21-20P inlets to standard IT equipment power distribution units (PDUs). This cable provides a robust connection for critical infrastructure where reliable power delivery is paramount, such as in server racks or network closets. The PDW13L21-20R ensures proper power distribution from a UPS to multiple devices.

Compatibility

This whip is engineered for use with APC Smart-UPS, Symmetra, and other UPS systems featuring an L21-20P inlet. It is intended to connect to L21-20R receptacles found on rack-mounted PDUs or directly to equipment requiring an L21-20 connection. Verify your UPS output connector and the PDU input connector match the L21-20 standard for guaranteed compatibility.

Installation Notes

The PDW13L21-20R requires an L21-20P plug on the UPS side and an L21-20R receptacle on the PDU or equipment side. Ensure the circuit breaker feeding the L21-20R receptacle is rated appropriately for the connected load and the UPS output capacity. Proper strain relief should be utilized at both connection points to prevent accidental disconnection and cable damage.
