APC AP9896 – IEC C19 to NEMA L6‑30P Power Cord 2.4 m

Overview :

The APC AP9896 is a single‑cable rack power cord designed to link high‑current power distribution units (PDUs) or UPS outputs to equipment requiring a C19 inlet. It is specified for use by rack, network, and systems engineers in data center and IT infrastructure environments where structured power connectivity is needed between standardized receptacles.

This cord features an IEC 60320 C19 female connection on the load end and a NEMA L6‑30P locking plug on the supply end, supporting up to 30 A at 208 VAC typical for North American three‑phase and high‑power rack PDU systems. The 2.4 m (≈ 7.87 ft) length balances reach and manageability in 19″ rack power runs.

AP9896 is suited to environments such as data center racks, telecommunications closets, and compute rows where higher current PDUs are deployed, and cabling must maintain clear, non‑tangled routing. Its use is aligned with standard rack power ecosystems and engineered receptacles supporting IEC C19.

The NEMA L6‑30P plug enables engagement with 30 A, 250 VAC IEC‑compatible power sources, often found on PDUs or UPS output circuits designed for higher‑amp compute loads. No active electronics or management features are present; it is a passive power delivery cable.

In practical deployments, AP9896 is deployed for rack PDU to server, switch, or storage power connections when the supply side uses a NEMA L6‑30P outlet and the load side requires IEC C19. Environments that do not support NEMA L6‑30 infrastructure (for example, regions with purely IEC‑309 or local receptacle standards) should use a specifically matched cord type. 

Key Features :
