APC NetShelter Power Cord Kit (6 ea), Locking, C13 to C14 (90 Degree), 1.8m, North America

Ensure reliable power delivery for your APC NetShelter enclosure with the AP8706R-NA locking power cord kit. Built for durability and security, this C14-to-C13 power cord features a locking connection to prevent accidental disconnections during peak loads, maintenance, or high-vibration rack environments. At 1.8 meters (6 feet) in length and designed for North America deployments, it delivers clean, dependable power to servers, PDUs, and other critical hardware within your data center or IT room.

With a 90-degree configuration, the input end mates neatly into rack PDUs and equipment with limited clearance, helping you optimize airflow and cabinet organization. The locking IEC interface keeps cords secure even in busy rack installations, reducing downtime caused by loose connections and minimizing cable strain. This NetShelter power cord kit is a trusted accessory for rack-mounted equipment, designed to blend into professional data center environments while offering practical benefits for everyday IT operations.

  • Secure, locking connection for reliable power delivery: The locking IEC 60320 interface on both ends ensures a tight, tamper-resistant fit that resists vibration and accidental disconnections, keeping your servers and PDU-powered equipment online when it matters most. This feature is essential in high-density racks where cables shift during maintenance or in environments with frequent personnel movement, guaranteeing that critical power remains uninterrupted during busy operations.
  • 90-degree C14 input optimizes clearance and airflow: The 90-degree plug angle reduces cable protrusion at the rear of your rack, freeing space for airflow and simplifying cable management behind densely populated cabinets. By minimizing obstruction, this configuration helps maintain optimal cooling efficiency and improves door clearance, especially in tight data center rows or cabinet lanes.
  • Correct length for neat deployments: 1.8 m / 6 ft: This length strikes a balance between flexibility and tidy cable management, keeping power cords out of walkways while allowing comfortable routing within a standard rack or cabinet. The consistent 6-foot length also supports standardized deployments across multiple racks, making inventory, maintenance, and upgrades simpler for IT teams and data center operators.
  • C14 to C13 configuration for standard rack devices: Input from the outlet to the equipment-end C13 receptacle makes it suitable for most servers, switches, PDUs, and other IEC 60320-compatible devices in NetShelter deployments. This configuration aligns with common server and network gear connections, delivering dependable power for critical equipment behind APC enclosures.
  • North America region compatibility and NetShelter integration: Specifically designed for North American outlets and NetShelter enclosures, this cord kit supports plug-and-play installation in APC environments, helping you standardize cabling across multiple racks for easier maintenance and upgrades. It pairs seamlessly with APC power distribution strategies, enabling consistent cabling layouts and predictable performance across your data center.

How to install APC NetShelter Power Cord Kit

Follow these steps to install the AP8706R-NA power cord kit in your NetShelter rack:

Step 1: Power down equipment and verify the rack area is safe before handling any cables. This minimizes the risk of electrical shock and protects sensitive hardware during installation.

Step 2: Position the 90-degree C14 locking end near the PDU or equipment inlet inside the NetShelter cabinet. Ensure there is enough space at the rear of the rack to accommodate the connector without bending or stressing the cable.

Step 3: Insert the locking C14 end into the appropriate inlet on the PDU or equipment. Engage the locking mechanism fully so the connector cannot disengage with minor vibrations or movement.

Step 4: Route the C13 end toward the equipment’s IEC 60320 C13 inlet. Align the receptacle with the device’s power inlet and insert firmly, ensuring a secure connection that remains locked under normal operation.

Step 5: Check cable management and airflow. Tuck excess length neatly behind equipment and away from fans or intake vents. Confirm that the locking feature remains engaged and that there is no undue strain on either connector.

Step 6: Power up the rack and verify that all devices powered by the cord are operating normally. If any device fails to power on, recheck the connectors for a secure fit and correct polarity.
