APC by Schneider Electric AP8704S-NAX590 Locking C13 to C14 Power Cord

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP8704S-NAX590 is a 1.2-meter locking power cord designed to prevent accidental disconnection of IT equipment. It features a C13 female connector on one end and a C14 male connector on the other, both adhering to IEC 60320 standards. This cord is ideal for securing power connections in server racks, data centers, and other mission-critical environments where uptime is paramount. The blue color aids in quick identification and management within a complex cabling infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cord is designed to connect devices with a C13 power inlet to standard C14 power outlets or PDUs. It is compatible with a wide range of IT and networking equipment that utilizes the IEC 60320 C13/C14 standard, including servers, switches, workstations, and UPS systems. Specifically, it is suitable for APC Smart-UPS, Back-UPS, and NetShelter Rack PDUs that feature C14 inlets. The 10A input current rating ensures compatibility with most standard rack-mount equipment.

Installation Notes

The AP8704S-NAX590 operates within a temperature range of 0 to 105 °C, allowing for deployment in standard data center environments. The locking mechanism on the C13 connector ensures a secure fit, preventing vibration or accidental tugs from dislodging the power connection. Both connectors are straight-form factor, minimizing cable bend radius issues in high-density rack installations. Storage temperature range is -25 to 105 °C.
