Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP8716S provides a standardized method for connecting multiple devices to specific APC Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs). This kit ensures you have the correct cabling for critical IT infrastructure, preventing downtime caused by incompatible or insufficient power cords. Each cord is 1.8 meters long, offering flexibility in rack layout and device placement within a data center or server room environment.

Compatibility

This power cord kit is designed for use with specific APC Rack PDUs that utilize IEC C13 receptacles on the PDU side and a standard NEMA 5-15P plug on the equipment side. It is essential to verify your APC PDU model and the input connector type of your connected devices to ensure compatibility. Refer to your APC PDU documentation for specific cord requirements.

Installation Notes

Each cord in the AP8716S kit features a 1.8-meter length, suitable for typical rack depths. The NEMA 5-15P plug connects to standard U.S. power outlets or UPS systems. Ensure that the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the capacity of the APC PDU and the circuit it is connected to. Proper cable management within the rack is recommended for airflow and accessibility.
