Description

APC by Schneider Electric AP8712SX340 Locking Power Cord

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP8712SX340 is a 0.6-meter (2ft) red locking power cord designed to secure connections between IT equipment and APC rack power distribution units (PDUs). Its locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnection, ensuring continuous power delivery critical for sensitive network and server hardware. The distinct red color aids in quick identification and management within dense server racks.

Compatibility

This cord features a C19 coupler (female) and a C20 connector (male). It is designed for use with equipment requiring a C19 inlet and PDUs with C20 outlets. The 0.6m length is ideal for short-distance connections within a single rack, minimizing cable clutter and airflow obstruction. It is suitable for APC's line of rack PDUs that utilize C20 inlets and equipment with C19 power receptacles.

Installation Notes

The operating temperature range is 0 to 75 °C, suitable for standard data center environments. The 16A rating ensures compatibility with most high-density IT equipment power supplies. Ensure the C19 coupler is fully seated into the equipment and the C20 connector is securely plugged into the PDU outlet. The locking mechanism engages automatically when connected.
