Overview
- The APC AP9870 is a professional-grade power cord engineered for secure power distribution in demanding rack environments. With C13 to C14 connectors and 2.5m length, it provides flexible reach for standard IT equipment connections.
The cord features optional locking connectors that engage with APC AP8000 series Rack PDUs and compatible equipment, significantly reducing the risk of accidental disconnection during maintenance or hot-swap operations. This is critical in data centres and server rooms where unexpected power loss can cause downtime.
While the connectors fit all standard IEC receptacles, the full locking benefit is realised only with APC PDUs or equipment featuring built-in locking receptacles, making this an ideal choice for organisations standardised on APC infrastructure.

FAQs
What is the difference between C13 and C14 connectors?
The C13 connector is the female inlet that connects to IT equipment, while the C14 is the male plug that connects to PDUs or power sources. This cable configuration allows equipment to be powered from a Rack PDU.
Will this cord work with non-APC equipment?
Yes, the C13 to C14 connectors fit all standard IEC receptacles. However, the locking feature only functions with APC AP8000 series Rack PDUs or IT equipment with built-in locking receptacles.
Is 2.5m long enough for my setup?
The 2.5m length is suitable for most rack-mounted installations where equipment is mounted in close proximity to PDUs. Measure the distance between your PDU and equipment to confirm suitability.
Does the cord come with any warranty?
Yes, the APC AP9870 includes a 24-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Can I use this cord to connect multiple devices?
No, this is a single power cord designed to connect one piece of equipment to a PDU. For multiple connections, you will need additional cords.
Is the locking feature always active?
The locking feature only activates when used with APC AP8000 series PDUs or equipment with built-in locking receptacles. With standard receptacles, the cord functions as a standard IEC power cable without locking.
