APC by Schneider Electric AP8702R-WW Locking C13 to C14 90-Degree Power Cord Kit

Overview

The AP8702R-WW is a six-piece kit of 0.6-meter locking IEC 60320 C13-to-C14 power cords with a 90-degree C13 connector — designed for high-density rack environments where cable management and accidental disconnection are real operational concerns. The locking C13 head clicks and retains on compatible C14 outlets, eliminating unintentional pulls in crowded PDU or UPS panels. The 90-degree angle keeps cables flat against the device face, recovering clearance in shallow enclosures where a straight connector would force neighboring equipment further apart. Worldwide localization (WW suffix) means the AP8702R-WW ships ready for use across North American, European, and Asia-Pacific data center standards without adapter substitution.

Compatibility

These cords terminate in a standard IEC 320 EN 60320 C14 male inlet on one end, making them compatible with any C14-equipped PDU, APC rack PDU (AP7xxx, AP8xxx series), UPS output receptacles, and server or switch power supplies that accept C14 input. The locking C13 female end seats into C13-compatible outlets found on APC Switched Rack PDUs, Basic Rack PDUs, and most enterprise-grade UPS units. Confirm that the target outlet supports the locking C13 retention mechanism — non-locking C13 receptacles will accept the connector but will not engage the locking tab. Cable length is 0.6M (approximately 2 feet), suited for intra-rack runs from a PDU to adjacent 1U or 2U equipment; longer runs to adjacent racks require a different cable length variant.

Installation Notes

To engage the locking mechanism, insert the C13 connector fully until the retention tab audibly clicks. To release, depress the tab release collar before pulling. The 90-degree orientation is fixed — verify cable egress direction against your rack layout before ordering. Compliance certifications include VDE, CCC, PSE Mark, RoHS, and REACH, covering the major regulatory frameworks required for deployment in the EU, China, and Japan without additional certification review.
