APC AP9893 – Power Cord C13‑to‑5‑15P 120 V 2.4 m

Overview :

APC AP9893 is a flexible AC power cord intended for IT rack and equipment power connections that follow IEC and North American receptacle standards. It is specified for engineers and facilities teams to connect rack PDUs, UPS systems, and other equipment with an IEC 60320 C13 inlet to a NEMA 5‑15P mains outlet where a straight‑through power lead is required. The design addresses the common need for standardized power interconnects in data centers and telecommunications closets.

The cable is rated for 120 V AC service with a typical current capability up to 10 A, consistent with standard NEMA 5‑15 outlets and rack‑mounted gear power requirements in North American installations. It terminates in an IEC 60320 C13 female connector on the load side and a NEMA 5‑15P male plug on the supply side, providing a direct link between IT gear and the building power system.

With a length of approximately 2.4 m (7.87 ft), AP9893 supports routing within large racks (e.g., 42 U cabinets) and between overhead or under‑floor power distribution. The jacket is black PVC, chosen for durability and ease of cable management in structured power installations.

Physical characteristics are aligned with typical rack environment expectations: a non‑rack‑mountable, single‑lead power cable without specialized clips, meant to be dressed with Velcro or cable ties as needed for neat bundling. It is UL Listed for safety compliance, which is a standard requirement for IT infrastructure power components.

In practice, AP9893 is deployed where equipment such as blade servers, top‑of‑rack switches, or PDU input modules require a compliant connection to a building mains outlet. It is not designed for use in hazardous, wet, or outdoor environments and should not be substituted for hospital‑grade or industrial hardened conductors.
