The APC power cable AP9870 is a network cable with a cable length of 2.4 m, specifically designed for connecting power distribution units (PDUs), network devices, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and other IT or industrial equipment. The cable features an IEC 60320 C14 plug at one end and a C13 coupler at the other, enabling its use as an extension cable or for adapting different connection types. The cable is black, making it discreet for use in server rooms and IT infrastructures. The connectors are straight, ensuring easy and secure connection.

Applications
This cable is intended for use in IT and network infrastructures, particularly in environments requiring flexible power supply between various devices. It is commonly used to connect PDUs with UPS systems, network switches, racks, or other devices equipped with a C13 connector. The design enables reliable power transmission in server rooms, data centers, and industrial facilities.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable supports an input voltage of 90 to 250 V and an input current of 10 A, making it suitable for a wide range of devices operating within these specifications. The maximum current draw is also 10 A, defining the cable’s load capacity. It is not equipped with overload protection, so power supply safety must be ensured through external protective measures or the integrated fuses of connected devices. The operating temperature ranges from 0 to 45 °C, with relative humidity up to 95 % during operation. Storage is possible at temperatures from -25 to 65 °C and relative humidity from 0 to 95 %.

Technology Explained Simply
The cable complies with the international IEC 60320 standard, featuring a C14 plug on the input side and a C13 coupler on the output side. These connectors are widely used globally and allow universal application in IT and electrical installations. Power supply is provided directly through the cable, without requiring additional power sources or adapters. The 2.4 m cable length offers sufficient flexibility for device placement without creating cluttered cabling. The construction is designed for operation at altitudes up to 3000 m above sea level, suitable for use in higher elevation locations.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is compatible with a wide range of devices featuring a C13 connector, including PDUs, network devices, and UPS systems. It can be used to extend existing power lines or adapt different connection types. Use in rack systems is possible, although the cable is not specifically designed for rack mounting. Connections are made via standardized IEC connectors, ensuring safe and stable power transmission.

Installation and Mounting
Installation involves simply plugging the C14 plug into a power source and the C13 coupler into the device to be powered. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. The straight shape of the connectors facilitates connection, especially in tight racks or limited spaces. The 2.4 m cable length provides sufficient flexibility to connect devices even when placed close together.

Operational Advantages
The cable provides reliable power supply with a high load capacity of 10 A. The use of standardized IEC connectors ensures universal compatibility. The black lacquered surface allows discreet integration into IT infrastructures. The construction is designed for use in environments with high humidity and varying temperatures, enhancing operational safety. Certifications according to CSA, UL, and VDE confirm the product’s safety and quality.

Certifications and Environmental Standards
The product complies with RoHS and REACH directive requirements, ensuring the use of non-hazardous materials. It also features WEEE marking, indicating proper disposal procedures after use. The packaging is made of recycled cardboard, supporting the product’s sustainability. The SCIP number 1cdb2fed-a06f-4574-913d-8df8e70936b2 is relevant for material traceability under the EU RoHS directive.

Operating Conditions and Storage
The cable can be operated at temperatures from 0 to 45 °C and relative humidity from 0 to 95 %. Storage is possible at temperatures from -25 to 65 °C and humidity from 0 to 95 %. The maximum operating altitude is 3000 m, while storage altitude can reach up to 15240 m (50000 ft). These specifications make the cable suitable for use in various geographical and climatic conditions.

Product Certifications
The cable is certified according to CSA, UL listed, and VDE, confirming its safety and reliability in various markets. Compliance with environmental standards RoHS, REACH, and WEEE demonstrates the manufacturer’s commitment to sustainable product development. Product data are recorded and documented in accordance with applicable standards and regulations.
