APC by Schneider Electric AP9876 Power Cord
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric AP9876 is an 8.2-foot (2.5 meter) power cord designed to connect critical IT equipment to IEC 60309 16A power sources. This cable ensures a secure and reliable connection, essential for maintaining uptime in server racks and network closets where standard power outlets may not suffice or where specific power distribution units (PDUs) are in use. The AP9876 model addresses the need for robust power delivery in environments demanding consistent performance.
Compatibility
This power cord is specifically designed for use with APC rack-mount Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and other equipment requiring an IEC 60309 16A male input. The IEC 60309 connector is common in industrial and international power applications, providing a higher current rating and more secure connection than standard domestic plugs. The female IEC 320 EN 60320 C19 connector mates with standard C20 inlet receptacles found on many servers, UPS units, and high-power network devices.
Installation Notes
The cable features an IEC 60309 16A male plug for input and an IEC 60309 16A female C19 connector for output. It operates within a 50/60 Hz frequency range. The black color aids in cable management and identification within a rack. This model does not include a circuit breaker, meaning overcurrent protection must be provided by the connected PDU or upstream power source.
