APC by Schneider Electric Power Cord Kit (6 EA), Locking, C13 to C14 (90 Degree), 0.6m

Streamline your rack power management with the APC by Schneider Electric Power Cord Kit. This six-piece locking cord set is designed to secure connections between rack-mount PDUs and attached IT equipment, eliminating cable slack and accidental disconnections while maximizing space efficiency inside crowded racks. The kit features C13 to C14 connectors with a 90-degree orientation, offering a compact, low-profile solution that minimizes cable clutter and improves airflow. Specifically engineered to work with APC AP8000 series Rack PDUs, the locking mechanism engages to provide a secure, tamper-resistant connection that stays put even in high-density environments. If you’re deploying or refreshing a data center, server room, or network closet, these locking cords help infrastructure stay reliable, organized, and up to the task of continuous operation.

• Maximize rack efficiency and reduce maintenance downtime by securing power cords between PDUs and IT equipment with a locking retention method.
• Locking design that activates when used with APC AP8000 series Rack PDUs, delivering enhanced security without altering standard IEC connections.
• 90-degree C13 to C14 connectors and a 0.6m length to minimize cable bend, shorten run paths, and improve airflow within dense racks.
• Includes a 6-pack of locking cords, providing a ready solution to power multiple devices consistently across the rack with uniform retention.
• Designed to fit into standard IEC receptacles or power inlets, ensuring broad compatibility across diverse IT gear while maintaining a neat, professional data-center appearance.
