APC by Schneider Electric AP8704R-WW Locking Power Cord
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric AP8704R-WW is a 1.2-meter locking power cord designed to prevent accidental disconnection in critical IT deployments. It features a 90-degree angled C14 plug, ideal for high-density rack environments where space is at a premium, ensuring a secure connection between your equipment and the power distribution unit (PDU). This cord is rated for 10A input current, suitable for powering servers, network switches, and other standard IT hardware.
Compatibility
This cord is compatible with any device requiring a C13 power inlet and any PDU or UPS outlet accepting a C14 inlet. Specifically, it is designed for use with APC's NetShelter racks and PDUs, as well as standard server and network equipment from vendors like Dell, HP, Cisco, and others that utilize C13/C14 connectors. The 90-degree C14 connector is particularly beneficial when connecting to PDUs mounted on the rear of a rack, preventing the cord from obstructing other connections or airflow.
Installation Notes
The operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), making it suitable for standard climate-controlled data center environments. The 90-degree angled C14 connector requires approximately 70mm of horizontal clearance from the PDU port for proper seating. The C13 coupler is female, and the C14 plug is male.
