Description

APC by Schneider Electric PDW8L21-20XC Cable Extender

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric PDW8L21-20XC is an 8-foot (2.44 m) cable extender designed to provide additional reach for L21-20R power connections. This unit is rated for 20A input and output, supporting 208V, making it suitable for extending power to server racks, network closets, or other commercial IT infrastructure where precise placement of equipment is critical. Its black color and robust construction facilitate integration into standard data center environments.

Compatibility

This cable extender is designed to interface with standard L21-20R receptacles and plugs. It is compatible with APC by Schneider Electric's line of rack PDUs and other power distribution units that utilize the L21-20R connector. It is also suitable for use with third-party equipment featuring the same connector type, provided the voltage and current ratings are within specification.

Installation Notes

The PDW8L21-20XC is a passive extension cable; no configuration is required. Ensure the connected power source can supply the required 208V at 20A. The cable's dimensions are 51mm wide, 2438mm deep, and 64mm high. The unit is UL-listed for safety and compliance in commercial installations. Handle with care to avoid kinking the cable, which could impede airflow or damage internal conductors.
