APC by Schneider Electric PDW21L21-20R Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric PDW21L21-20R is a 21-foot SOOW 5-wire power cord designed to provide a reliable connection from an APC Power Distribution Unit (PDU) to equipment requiring a NEMA L21-20 receptacle or direct bare wire termination. This cable is essential for ensuring stable power delivery in data center or network closet environments where custom wiring or specific connector configurations are needed. Its 12 AWG construction supports significant current draw, making it suitable for high-demand IT equipment.

Compatibility

This power cord is specifically designed for use with APC Power Distribution Units (PDUs) that feature a NEMA L21-20 input connector and require a bare wire output for direct integration. It is not a general-purpose power cord and should only be used with compatible APC PDU models and equipment requiring a NEMA L21-20 connection or bare wire input.

Installation Notes

The bare wire end of the PDW21L21-20R requires professional installation by a qualified electrician to ensure proper termination and adherence to electrical codes. The NEMA L21-20 connector end provides a secure twist-lock connection to compatible PDUs. The cable's 12 AWG gauge supports up to 20A, but the total load must not exceed the PDU's or circuit breaker's rating. UL certification indicates compliance with safety standards for this type of power connection.
