APC by Schneider Electric PDW16L21-20XC Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric PDW16L21-20XC is a 16-foot extension cable designed to reliably extend power connections for equipment utilizing an L21-20R receptacle and plug. This cable is constructed with five #10 AWG conductors, providing sufficient capacity for demanding loads in commercial and industrial environments. It is UL listed, ensuring it meets safety standards for fixed installations. This cable is essential when the primary power source is not optimally located for your equipment's deployment, such as extending power to rack-mounted servers, network switches, or other IT infrastructure components.

Compatibility

This extension cable is compatible with any equipment featuring an L21-20R locking connector and any power distribution unit (PDU) or circuit breaker panel with an L21-20P plug. It is suitable for use with APC's own line of rack PDUs and other third-party equipment that adheres to the NEMA L21-20 configuration. Specifically, it can extend power from APC's Smart-UPS, Easy UPS, and select Symmetra power modules, as well as rack and metered PDUs that utilize the L21-20 connection standard.

Installation Notes

The cable is rated for 20A and 208V/240V, with a maximum operating temperature of 60°C (140°F). Ensure the connected equipment and the power source do not exceed these ratings. The L21-20R connector features a locking mechanism that must be engaged to prevent accidental disconnection, ensuring continuous power delivery. The #10 AWG wire gauge provides low resistance, minimizing voltage drop over its 16-foot length, which is critical for maintaining stable power to sensitive electronics. UL listing indicates compliance with safety requirements for use in commercial and industrial settings.
