APC AP8704R‑NA – Locking IEC C13–C14 1.2 m Power Cord Kit

Overview :

The APC AP8704R‑NA is a rack power cord kit comprising six locking IEC jumper cables used to connect rack‑mount power distribution units (PDUs) to IT equipment with IEC input receptacles. This component is deployed by data center technicians and infrastructure engineers where secure power retention is needed to avoid unintended disconnections in dense rack environments.

Each cord uses an IEC 60320 C14 male plug paired with an IEC 60320 C13 female connector. The locking feature engages with compatible locking receptacles — typically on APC AP8000 series Rack PDUs or equipment with matching IEC locking ports — anchoring the connection under movement or service activity to reduce pull‑out risk.

With a 1.2 m (4 ft) length, AP8704R‑NA accommodates connections where the PDU outlets and equipment inlets reside within the same cabinet or across adjacent rack depths, offering extended reach without excessive slack that could impede cable management and airflow.

Deployment targets include enterprise data center racks, network closets, telecom IDF/MDF cabinets, and edge compute enclosures where standardized IEC power ecosystems are used and multiple short interconnects are required. The locking mechanism improves retention but should not be assumed effective in racks lacking compatible IEC locking receptacles.

This kit does not replace building mains feeds or non‑IEC voltage systems, and it is not intended for applications requiring longer power leads or non‑standard power connectors.

Key Features :

• Six locking IEC C14‑to‑C13 power jumpers
• 1.2 m (4 ft) length for flexible rack connections
• 10 A current rating for typical IT gear
• Right‑angle connectors reduce strain in tight spaces
• Black jacket fits standard rack installations
