APC AP8702S‑NA – Locking IEC C13–C14 Power Cord Kit

Overview :

The APC AP8702S‑NA is a rack power cord kit consisting of six short IEC C13 to IEC C14 cables designed for secure power connections between power distribution units (PDUs) and rack‑mounted IT devices. IT engineers and data center technicians deploy these kits where reliable retention of power cabling is required to prevent accidental disconnections that can interrupt critical loads.

Each cable provides a standardized IEC 60320 C14 male plug on one end and a C13 female connector on the other, enabling straightforward connection into PDUs and IT equipment that accept IEC input. The locking mechanism helps maintain contact integrity when used with compatible receptacles.

AP8702S‑NA is suitable for use with APC NetShelter series Rack PDUs and any equipment rack environment that supports IEC‑rated power cords. It addresses the need for secure, compact power links within dense rack deployments.

The short 0.61 m (2 ft) length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in 19‑inch server racks, aiding organized cable management in intermediate distribution frames (IDFs) and main distribution frames (MDFs).

In deployments where power cord retention is critical—such as high‑density data center racks or edge compute cabinets with frequent maintenance—this kit minimizes unintentional disconnections. It is not intended as a replacement for longer run electrical cabling or as a solution for non‑IEC power systems. Verified deployment environments include standard rack enclosures; avoid use in non‑IEC power ecosystems or applications requiring higher current cabling.
