Liebert Power Extension Cord
The Liebert Power Extension Cord is a purpose-built accessory designed to optimize power delivery to critical devices backed by Liebert Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and battery cabinets. In environments where uptime matters—data centers, server rooms, network closets, and healthcare facilities—reliable power delivery is non-negotiable. This extension cord is engineered to minimize power loss, reduce electrical noise, and simplify cable management while standing up to the rigors of continuous use. Whether you’re expanding a small office rack or deploying a dense data center, the Liebert Power Extension Cord offers the adaptable connectivity needed to keep your essential equipment protected and performing at peak efficiency. By combining solid electrical performance with rugged construction, it supports clean power transfer from the UPS output to servers, switches, networking gear, and other critical devices, helping to prevent outages and support longer equipment life.
- Designed for UPS-driven power reliability: When power reliability is critical, every connection matters. The Liebert Power Extension Cord is purpose-built to connect Liebert UPS systems and battery cabinets to your protected devices with minimal impedance and robust conductors. This means smoother load transitions during short-term outages, reduced voltage drop under peak load, and improved overall power quality for sensitive equipment. Its design helps ensure that your servers, storage arrays, and critical network infrastructure receive stable power during spikes and brief interruptions, contributing to higher availability and fewer unplanned downtime events. With this cord in place, you can deploy gear with confidence that the power path mirrors the dependability of your Liebert UPS solution and adheres to industry best practices for critical infrastructure power delivery.
- Durable construction for demanding environments: The Liebert Power Extension Cord is built to withstand the demands of data centers and mission-critical rooms. A rugged jacket protects copper conductors from abrasion and impact, while premium insulation materials minimize heat buildup during high-load operation. The strain-relief at both ends minimizes connector fatigue and extends the life of the cord in dense cable bundles and tight rack spaces. Designed to resist everyday wear, including frequent plugging and unplugging, this extension cord maintains consistent performance in hot aisle/cold aisle configurations, high-traffic cabinet rows, and cluttered equipment closets. The result is a reliable power extension option that stays flexible and dependable over years of service, even in environments with limited airflow and elevated ambient temperatures.
- Smart compatibility with Liebert and data-center gear: Built to integrate seamlessly with Liebert UPS units and Liebert battery cabinets, this extension cord supports multiple configurations to suit your exact setup. SKU-specific variations offer compatible plug and receptacle configurations to fit standard North American outlets and Liebert accessory sockets. This versatility helps simplify deployment in mixed racks, telecom cabinets, and server enclosures while avoiding the risk of mismatched connectors. By aligning with Liebert’s power architecture, the extension cord contributes to a cleaner, safer, and more scalable power distribution strategy for your data center or mission-critical facility.
- Efficient cable management and safety features: Organization and safety are built into the design. The cord’s jacket color and labeling provide quick identification within dense cable runs, reducing misconnection risk during maintenance. The flexible length options support tidy routing along rack rails and through cable trays, while the durable outer jacket minimizes snag hazards during service windows. Safety considerations extend to thermal performance as well, with materials chosen to resist heat buildup under steady-state loading. The result is a power extension solution that not only delivers reliable current but also contributes to a safer, more maintainable equipment environment, minimizing the chance of accidental disconnections and trip hazards in high-traffic data center aisles.
- Warranty, certifications, and dependable support: Liebert backs this extension cord with the brand’s emphasis on quality and support. Known for reliability in UPS ecosystems, Liebert’s extension cords are designed to meet or exceed industry standards for safety and performance. This translates to a product you can trust for long-term deployments, with access to vendor support and service resources if needed. The combination of a strong warranty posture, rigorous testing, and the broader Liebert ecosystem’s expertise helps ensure compatibility, safety, and peace of mind for IT teams and facilities engineers responsible for power reliability in critical environments.

How to Install Liebert Power Extension Cord
Installing the Liebert Power Extension Cord is simple and designed to minimize downtime while ensuring safe, reliable power delivery to your critical equipment. Begin by confirming the extension cord’s SKU matches the intended Liebert UPS or battery cabinet configuration and that the outlet and connected devices are within the cord’s rated voltage and current specifications. Power down or pause non-critical equipment if required, and follow standard safety practices for working around powered racks and UPS systems. Next, connect the extension cord’s plug to the Liebert UPS output or battery cabinet accessory outlet, ensuring a secure, fully seated connection. Route the cord away from hot surfaces, moving components, and foot traffic, using cable management accessories if available to prevent strain on connectors. Finally, connect your protected devices to the extension cord’s receptacles, verify proper power delivery on the connected equipment, and perform a brief power-on test to confirm clean startup performance and absence of abnormal electrical noise. Maintain clear labeling at both ends of the cord and perform periodic inspections for wear, fraying, or signs of damage. If multiple extension cords are used in a rack, avoid daisy-chaining or connecting to non-approved power strips to preserve the integrity of the UPS protection and to maintain proper UPS load balancing.
