Description

APC by Schneider Electric PDW11L21-20R Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric PDW11L21-20R is an 11-foot, 5-wire whip designed to provide reliable power connectivity for surveillance equipment. This accessory is critical for installations requiring a specific power connection type, ensuring consistent power delivery to devices like network switches, NVRs, or cameras that utilize an L21-20 inlet. Its 11-foot length offers flexibility in deployment, allowing for clean cable management between power sources and network infrastructure in server racks or distributed equipment locations.

Compatibility

This power whip is engineered for use with APC by Schneider Electric rack-mount power distribution units (PDUs) that feature L21-20 receptacles. It is specifically designed to interface with equipment requiring a 5-wire, 20A, 120/208V connection, common in enterprise IT and advanced surveillance deployments. Verify your PDU's receptacle type and voltage requirements before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation requires connecting the whip to a compatible L21-20 receptacle on a PDU. Ensure the PDU is properly rated for the load and that the circuit breaker feeding the PDU is appropriately sized for a 20A circuit. The 5-wire configuration (Line 1, Line 2, Neutral, Ground, and a separate Grounding Conductor for the whip itself) ensures proper grounding and stable power delivery.
