APC C19/C14 2m Black C14 coupler C19 coupler

The APC C19/C14 Power Cable AP9878 2m is a black, 2-metre power lead designed to connect equipment requiring a C19 inlet to a C14 outlet. Rated for a continuous input current of 10 A, this cable provides a straightforward, reliable connection for rack-mount servers, PDUs and other IT or power distribution devices. Constructed with standard IEC connectors, the cable supports common data centre and office power setups while keeping cable management simple.

Advantages

This power cable combines industry-standard C19 and C14 IEC connectors in a compact 2 m length, reducing the need for adapters. The 10 A current rating is suitable for many low- to medium-power devices, and the black PVC jacket offers basic mechanical protection and easy visual integration into server racks and cabling runs. The cable’s weight and flexibility make it simple to route in confined spaces, while the robust connector housings maintain secure electrical contact.

• Connecting servers with C19 inlets to equipment or PDUs with C14 outlets
• Powering rack-mounted IT hardware in data centres and server rooms
• Temporary or permanent cabling in labs, offices and telecom closets

How to use

Inspect the cable and connectors for visible damage before use. Firmly insert the C19 connector into the device with the corresponding inlet and plug the C14 end into the PDU or power source outlet. Ensure connections are secure and that the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends, pinch points, or contact with hot surfaces. Do not exceed the rated current and follow the site electrical safety procedures when connecting or disconnecting the cable.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this cable indoors in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or fluids. Select an appropriate cable length and routing to prevent strain on connector housings; if higher current capacity or additional shielding is required, choose a cable with suitable specifications.
