APC by Schneider Electric PDW21L6-30C Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric PDW21L6-30C is a 21-foot, 3-wire power cord designed for specific APC Smart-UPS and Rack PDU models. It provides the necessary length and connector type to extend power from a high-voltage outlet to your critical IT equipment, ensuring proper installation in racks where direct connections are not feasible. This cable is built to handle the demands of commercial environments, offering a reliable link for your sensitive electronics. The PDW21L6-30C model specifically uses a NEMA L6-30 twist-lock connector, common on higher amperage circuits.

Compatibility

This power cable is intended for use with APC Smart-UPS models that feature a NEMA L6-30 input or output receptacle, and select APC Basic Rack PDUs requiring a NEMA L6-30 connection. Verify your specific UPS or PDU model's input/output connector type against the NEMA L6-30 standard before purchase. It is not a universal power cord and should only be used with compatible Schneider Electric equipment.

Installation Notes

The NEMA L6-30 connector is a twist-lock type. Ensure the connector is fully seated and twisted to lock into the receptacle to prevent accidental disconnection. The 21-foot length offers flexibility in rack deployments, allowing equipment to be positioned away from the power source while maintaining a secure connection. The cable's black color helps it blend into standard IT rack environments.
