APC by Schneider Electric Power Cord KIT (6 Ea) Locking C19 to C20 - AP8713SX744

APC by Schneider Electric AP8713SX744 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP8713SX744 is a kit of six locking power cords designed to prevent accidental disconnection of critical IT equipment. Each cord features a C19 connector on one end, suitable for high-power devices, and a C20 connector on the other, designed to plug into a C20 inlet on a PDU or UPS. This specific configuration ensures a secure connection in environments where vibration or accidental tugs could otherwise disrupt power to servers, network switches, or other essential hardware. The locking mechanism provides a tangible safeguard against power loss, directly addressing a common point of failure in data center and network closet deployments.

Compatibility

This power cord kit is designed for use with any equipment featuring a C19 inlet and any PDU or UPS with a C20 outlet. It is compatible with APC Smart-UPS, Symmetra, and other APC rackmount power distribution units and uninterruptible power supplies that utilize C20 inlets. It also interfaces with any third-party equipment or PDUs that adhere to the IEC C19 and C20 standards, ensuring broad applicability in mixed-vendor environments.

Installation Notes

Each cord is designed for plug-and-play installation. The locking mechanism engages when the C19 connector is fully inserted into the C20 inlet. To disconnect, the locking tab on the C19 connector must be depressed. Ensure the equipment's power draw does not exceed the cord's rating (typically 10A or 12A at 120V, or 16A at 200-240V, depending on regional variants and specific product line). Verify the C20 inlet on the PDU or UPS is rated for the intended voltage and current.
