APC by Schneider Electric AP8716SX743 Locking C19 to C20 Power Cord Kit
Overview
The AP8716SX743 is a six-cord kit of locking C19-to-C20 power cables designed for high-density rack environments where accidental disconnection is a real operational risk. The locking connector mechanism requires deliberate action to unplug — preventing the unintentional power loss that can occur when technicians work in congested cable fields or when vibration is a factor. Each cord in this kit pairs a C19 receptacle (rated for 16A loads) with a C20 plug, making it the standard connection type between rack PDUs and high-draw servers, storage arrays, or UPS output receptacles. Deploying AP8716SX743 as a kit ensures uniform cord management across a full rack build rather than sourcing individual cords from mixed lots.
Compatibility
Designed for use with APC by Schneider Electric rack PDUs and UPS units equipped with C20 output receptacles — including the APC Rack PDU 2G and AP7000-series Switched Rack PDUs. The C19/C20 interface is an IEC 60320 standard pairing, so these cords are broadly compatible with any C20-outlet PDU or C20-inlet power strip from any vendor. The locking collar is specific to APC's locking PDU port design; confirm your PDU supports APC-format locking C20 receptacles before ordering. On the device side, the C19 end fits any standard IEC C18/C19 inlet — common on 1U and 2U rack servers, blade chassis power supplies, and high-density network switches with IEC inlets. Not intended for C13/C14 applications.
