APC by Schneider Electric Locked C13 to C14 Power Cord Kit — 6 Pack, 1.2m, 90 Degree, North America

Designed for reliability in demanding IT environments, the APC by Schneider Electric Power Cord Kit delivers secure, high-performance power connections for servers, switches, PDUs, monitors, printers, and other critical equipment. This 6-pack of locking C13 to C14 cords, each 1.2 meters long with a 90-degree C14 end, is built to withstand the rigors of rack-mounted deployments in North American data centers and office server rooms. With APC’s trusted engineering, these cords minimize accidental disconnections, reduce cable strain, and help maintain stable power delivery for optimal device performance.

• Locking IEC 60320 C13 to C14 connectors: The locking design ensures a snug, secure connection that resists vibration and accidental unplugging, making it ideal for busy racks and environments with movement or cable routing constraints.
• 90-degree C14 end for tight installations: The 90-degree connector reduces clearance requirements behind equipment, enabling cleaner cable management and easier deployment in dense rack setups.
• Perfect length for flexible rack layouts: At 1.2 meters, these cords offer ample reach for most standard server racks while preserving airflow and reducing cable clutter.
• Six cords per kit: A convenient multi-pack that supports multiple devices in a single ordering, simplifying inventory and ongoing maintenance for IT teams and data centers.
• North America compatibility: Specifically configured for North American power systems and outlets to ensure reliable operation with common IT equipment and rack PDUs in the region.

how to install APC Power Cord Kit

• Power down and unplug the equipment you are connecting, ensuring a safe work environment and preventing data loss or hardware damage.
• Insert the locking C13 end into the device inlet (server, switch, monitor, or other equipment that accepts a C14 inlet via a C13 cord).
• Route the cable away from hot components and airflow pathways to avoid heat buildup and obstructions; use cable ties or clips to secure the cord neatly.
• Connect the locking C14 end into a compatible locking power distribution unit (PDU) or wall outlet designed for 125V North American power configurations, ensuring the latch engages securely.
• Test the connection by powering on the device and verifying stable operation; confirm that the locking mechanism remains engaged during normal operation and cable movement.

Frequently asked questions
