APC by Schneider Electric AP9872 Power Cable

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP9872 is an 8-foot (2.5 meter) power cable designed to bridge the gap between standard NEMA 5-15P wall outlets and equipment requiring an IEC 320 C19 connector. This cable is critical for deploying IT infrastructure where standard wall power needs to interface with server rack power distribution units (PDUs) or Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) that utilize C19 receptacles. Its 15A/120V rating ensures compatibility with typical North American power circuits for moderate load devices.

Compatibility

This cable is specifically designed to connect to devices with an IEC 320 C19 input connector, commonly found on higher-amperage server power supplies, PDUs, and larger UPS units. The NEMA 5-15P plug connects to standard grounded wall outlets in North America. Ensure your equipment requires a C19 receptacle and your power source provides a NEMA 5-15P connection; it is not compatible with C13 or other IEC connector types.

Installation Notes

Operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) and up to 95% non-condensing relative humidity. Designed for altitudes up to 3000 meters (9842 feet). Ensure the connected equipment does not exceed the cable's 15A rating at 120V to prevent overload.
