Description

Meet a robust solution built to power precision-critical equipment in data centers, labs, and enterprise environments. The APC by Schneider Electric Extender 5-Wire #10 AWG 3 PH Power Cord is engineered for reliability, efficiency, and security in demanding electrical setups. This high-quality extender is designed to deliver stable, three-phase power with a five-wire configuration, making it ideal for APC AP8000 series Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and other professional-grade power distribution systems. With #10 AWG conductors and a locking IEC retention mechanism, this cord combines heavy-duty performance with practical, user-friendly features that keep your workloads running smoothly.

Whether you’re expanding capacity, replacing a worn cord, or standardizing power distribution across multiple racks, this 5-wire extender delivers the versatility you need. The combination of thick gauge (#10 AWG) conductors and a dedicated 3-phase arrangement ensures lower resistance, improved current handling, and better power stability under load. The locking IEC design provides a patented, secure cord retention method that minimizes accidental disconnections—an essential capability in environments where uptime is critical. This extender is more than a cable; it’s a strategic component of a reliable power backbone for modern data centers and network closets.

Designed with compatibility in mind, the APC Extender 5-Wire Power Cord works seamlessly with input power cords, adapters, and jumper configurations across APC ecosystems. The 3-phase configuration is tailored for equipment that requires balanced power distribution, reduced voltage drop, and enhanced efficiency during peak operation. The rugged construction and durable jacket protect the conductors from wear in busy rack environments, while the standardized #10 AWG size supports substantial current without overheating. If you manage multiple racks, this extender helps you optimize wiring layouts, simplify maintenance, and maintain clean, organized power pathways that meet industry best practices.

In addition to performance, this power cord is designed with ease of use in mind. The locking mechanism delivers a secure fit that resists accidental unplugging during vibration or movement—an important feature for PDUs that are frequently adjusted or serviced. The 5-wire configuration supports safer, more stable three-phase power delivery, which is especially beneficial for high-capacity equipment such as network modules, servers, power-hungry storage arrays, and industrial networking gear. By investing in a purpose-built cord like this, you’re prioritizing reliability, energy efficiency, and long-term cost savings through reduced downtime and fewer power-related faults.

Users choose APC for its reputation in mission-critical power protection, and this extender continues that tradition. It’s more than a cord; it’s a strategic upgrade for environments where power consistency and secure connections matter most. If you’re upgrading an existing AP8000 PDU setup or standardizing across a fleet of PDUs, this Extender 5-Wire Power Cord helps you create resilient, scalable power networks that stand up to continuous operation. From data centers to enterprise IT rooms, the combination of high-conductivity #10 AWG conductors, three-phase configuration, and a locking retention system makes this cord a dependable choice for professionals who demand efficiency, security, and peace of mind.

How to install APC by Schneider Electric Extender 5-Wire #10 AWG 3 PH Power Cord

  • Power down all connected equipment and verify that the circuit is de-energized before handling any power cables.
  • Inspect the cord for any visible damage or wear. Do not use the extender if insulation, connectors, or locking mechanism are compromised.
  • Determine the required length and routing path to reach the AP8000 PDU and the corresponding power source, ensuring there is no strain on the connectors.
  • Align the locking IEC connector with the PDU inlet and push until the locking mechanism engages securely. Do not force the connection if it does not seat cleanly.
  • Attach the opposite end to the appropriate power source, ensuring the outlet or power distribution path matches the cord’s design and rating. Engage the locking feature on the source side as well if applicable.
  • Power on equipment and verify a stable power signal. Check for any warning indicators on the PDU and monitor for unusual heat, flickering, or intermittent disconnects.

Frequently asked questions
