Description

APC by Schneider Electric PDW16L21-20XC 5-Wire Power Extension Cable

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric PDW16L21-20XC is a 16-foot power extension cord designed to provide reliable power delivery for critical equipment in data center or IT rack environments. It features a 5-wire configuration with #10 AWG conductors, suitable for extending power from a source to a device requiring a locking L21-20R connector. This cable is engineered to meet the demands of commercial power distribution, ensuring a stable connection for your sensitive electronics.

Compatibility

This extension cord is designed for use with equipment requiring an L21-20R locking IEC connector. It is compatible with APC's AP8000 series Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) that utilize locking IEC connectors, providing a secure connection that prevents accidental disconnections. Verify your equipment's power input connector type before ordering.

Installation Notes

The #10 AWG conductor size ensures sufficient current capacity for demanding loads, reducing voltage drop over its 16-foot length. The locking L21-20R connector provides a secure mechanical connection, preventing the cord from being pulled out unintentionally. Ensure the power source and the connected equipment are rated for the same voltage and amperage (20A, 125/208V, 3-phase Y configuration typical for L21-20R) to prevent damage or safety hazards.
