APC by Schneider Electric AP8759 Locking Power Cord
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric AP8759 is a 3.0-meter power cord designed to provide a secure, lockable connection for high-power IT equipment. It features a C19 connector on one end and a rewireable connector on the other, allowing for custom terminations. This cord is essential for preventing accidental disconnections in environments like server racks, data centers, or industrial control cabinets where stable power is critical. The 16A input current rating ensures it can handle demanding power draws from equipment such as UPS systems, PDUs, and high-density servers.
Compatibility
This cord is compatible with any equipment requiring a C20 inlet (male) and a C19 outlet (female), provided the equipment's power draw does not exceed 16A. It is suitable for use with APC's own rack PDU and UPS product lines, as well as third-party devices that utilize these standard IEC connectors. The rewireable end allows for integration into custom power distribution setups or replacement of damaged standard cords where a secure connection is mandated.
Installation Notes
The operating temperature range is 0 to 70 °C, and storage temperature is -20 to 70 °C, accommodating typical IT infrastructure and transit conditions. Operating relative humidity is between 20% and 80% (non-condensing). The cable length of 3 meters provides sufficient reach for most rack deployments without excessive slack. The rewireable connector requires appropriate tools and expertise for secure termination to ensure safety and performance standards are met.
