APC NetShelter Power Cord Kit (6 ea), Locking, C13 TO C14 (90 Degree), 0.6m, North America

The APC NetShelter Power Cord Kit AP8702R-NA delivers reliable and secure power delivery for NetShelter racks, PDUs, and servers. This six-pack of locking IEC power cords is designed to minimize interruptions in demanding data-center environments, where every connection must stay firmly in place even amid cable movement, routine maintenance, or equipment vibration. With a compact 0.6-meter (2-foot) length, these cables are ideal for tidy cable management behind dense server racks, enabling better airflow, easier maintenance access, and a cleaner overall rack appearance. The design features a 90-degree IEC 60320 C13 output receptacle and a C14 input, providing a secure, space-saving configuration that fits neatly into back-of-rack cabinet layouts. Optimized for North American installations, the kit aligns with IEC 60320 standards and APC NetShelter configurations, offering dependable power connections that you can rely on in busy data centers or office server rooms.)

• Locking connections for secure power: The locking IEC power cords are engineered to resist accidental disconnections during routine operations, reconfiguration, and equipment vibration. This feature reduces downtime risk and minimizes the need for repeated reconnections during maintenance windows, data backups, and critical I/O tasks. These cords ensure that essential servers, switches, and PDUs remain powered when you need them most, delivering consistent performance and peace of mind in both small IT closets and large data-center deployments.
• Compact 0.6 m length for tidy racks: At 0.6 meters (2 feet), these cords provide a compact, space-efficient solution that helps you reduce cable clutter behind rack enclosures. A shorter run minimizes bend radius issues, lowers resistance to airflow, and simplifies cable management within NetShelter racks. This length is particularly useful for back-to-back equipment, short interconnects between PDUs and servers, and installations where rear clearance is at a premium, all while maintaining reliable power delivery.
• 90-degree IEC C13 output for tight spaces: The 90-degree C13 output orientation is designed to fit snugly in congested cabinet backs and near shallow equipment, allowing the plug to sit flush against the device without forcing cables into awkward angles. This geometry helps preserve clearance for other cables, improves airflow, and reduces the likelihood of kinking or undue stress on the connector. It’s an excellent choice for compact 1U to 2U devices and densely populated NetShelter environments where every inch counts.
• North America version, IEC 60320 compliant: Specifically tailored for North American power outlets and equipment, these cords use standard IEC 60320 connectors that are widely compatible with APC NetShelter components, servers, switches, and other IEC 60320-enabled devices. The kit supports safe, compliant operation within typical US and Canadian data-center electrical cabinets, aligning with regional electrical practices and safety expectations for critical infrastructure.
• Six-pack for ready coverage and redundancy: With six cords in each kit, you gain coverage for multiple devices across racks, spares for maintenance windows, and simple expansion planning for growing environments. The six-piece set helps you standardize cabling across a data center, reduces the time spent sourcing replacement cords, and supports consistent cable management practices across your NetShelter deployments.

How to install APC NetShelter Power Cord Kit

• Step 1: Power down the equipment and any associated devices to ensure safe handling and proper seating of connectors.
• Step 2: Insert the IEC 60320 C14 input end into the appropriate PDU or outlet designed for your NetShelter installation, making sure the locking mechanism engages fully for a secure connection.
• Step 3: Route the 0.6 m cable along your rack’s cable-management path, keeping the cord away from fans, airflow paths, and other moving parts to maintain optimal cooling and airflow inside the enclosure.
• Step 4: Connect the IEC 60320 C13 end to the corresponding device inlet, such as a server, switch, or other equipment within the rack. The 90-degree orientation helps to maximize clearance behind the chassis and reduce strain on the connector.
• Step 5: Verify that the locking latches are securely engaged and that the connected devices power on normally. If you manage a multi-rack environment, label cords or adopt a color-coding system to simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.
