APC by Schneider Electric Power Cord KIT (6 Ea) Locking C19 to C20 1.8M Blue - AP8716SX593

APC by Schneider Electric AP8716SX593 Locking Power Cord

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP8716SX593 is a 1.8-meter locking power cord kit designed to prevent accidental disconnection of IT equipment power. This cord features a C19 coupler on one end and a C20 connector on the other, specifically useful for linking power distribution units (PDUs) to equipment or daisy-chaining certain devices within a rack environment. The blue color aids in visual identification and cable management.

Compatibility

This cord is engineered to connect standard C20 inlets found on many servers, network switches, and high-density PDUs to C19 outlets. It is suitable for use with APC's own rack PDUs and other equipment utilizing C19/C20 connections where a secure, locking power interface is required. Verify your equipment's power inlet and PDU outlet specifications to ensure compatibility.

Installation Notes

The locking mechanism on both the C19 coupler and C20 connector ensures a secure fit, preventing the cord from being pulled out unintentionally. This is critical in environments with vibration or frequent equipment movement. The 1.8-meter length provides adequate reach for most standard rack deployments without excessive cable slack.
