APC by Schneider Electric AP9898 Power Splitter

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP9898 is a 1.83-meter power splitter designed to consolidate power distribution in high-density IT environments. It takes a single IEC-320 C20 input connection and splits it into two IEC 320 C19 output connections. This is crucial for rack deployments where you need to provide redundant or multiple power feeds to a single piece of equipment or distribute power from one source to two devices, simplifying cable management and maximizing outlet utilization within a UPS or PDU.

Compatibility

This splitter is engineered for use with equipment requiring C19 power connectors. It is compatible with standard C20 inlet ports found on many high-power servers, network switches, and other critical IT infrastructure devices. Use this splitter to power two devices with C19 inlets from a single C20 outlet on a PDU or UPS, provided the total current draw does not exceed the C20 input rating or the output capabilities of the power source.

Installation Notes

The APC AP9898 features a robust construction with a 20A input current rating, suitable for demanding rack environments. Its 1.83-meter cable length provides sufficient reach for most standard rack configurations. The dimensions of 267 x 89 x 51 mm ensure it fits unobtrusively within rack spaces. Ensure the total load connected to the two C19 outlets does not exceed the capacity of the upstream C20 power source to prevent overloading.
