APC by Schneider Electric AP8752J Locking C19 to L5-20P Power Cord
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric AP8752J is a 3.05-meter power cord designed to provide a secure, locking connection between equipment with an IEC C19 inlet and a NEMA L5-20P receptacle. This cord is essential for preventing accidental disconnection in environments where vibration or movement could dislodge standard power cables, such as data centers, network closets, or industrial control rooms. Its 3.05m length offers flexibility in positioning rack-mounted equipment relative to power distribution units (PDUs).
Compatibility
This power cord is compatible with any equipment featuring an IEC C19 power input connector, commonly found on high-power IT devices like servers, network switches, and some UPS units. The NEMA L5-20P plug is designed for 20-amp, 120-volt circuits, making it suitable for standard North American power distribution infrastructure. It is specifically designed for use with APC Smart-UPS and other compatible PDUs and devices requiring this specific plug and receptacle configuration.
Installation Notes
The locking mechanism on both the C19 connector and the L5-20P plug ensures that the cord remains firmly attached, preventing power loss due to vibration or accidental tugs. Ensure the NEMA L5-20P receptacle is rated for 20 amps and 120 volts to match the plug's specifications. The cable's black color aids in neat cable management within standard IT racks.
