Power cord (AC) Cisco CAB-ACE, black, 2.5 m, 250 V / 10 A

Power cord (AC) Cisco CAB-ACE in black, 2.5 m long and rated for 250 V / 10 A. The cable is designed to provide mains power to compatible Cisco network equipment such as switches and routers, offering a longer reach between the wall outlet and the device where needed.

Advantages

The Cisco CAB-ACE power cord offers a standard IEC-compatible connection and a durable black PVC jacket for typical data centre and office environments. Its 2.5 m length gives extra flexibility in equipment placement while the 250 V / 10 A rating matches common power requirements for enterprise network devices.

Suitable for

• Powering Cisco Catalyst switches and similar rack or desktop network equipment
• Server racks and network cabinets where a longer mains lead is needed
• Office and data centre installations requiring IEC mains cabling

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for devices requiring higher current or voltage than 250 V / 10 A. It also does not replace proprietary power assemblies that include integrated power management or locking connectors. For environments that require special shielding, medical certification, or specific connector types other than the IEC standard, this cord may not meet those requirements.

Key specifications

• Length: 2.5 m
• Color: black
• Rated voltage: 250 V
• Rated current: 10 A
• Connector type: standard AC mains to IEC device connector
• Typical use: power connection for network equipment (routers, switches)

How to use

Plug the IEC device end of the CAB-ACE into the matching power inlet on the Cisco switch or router, then connect the mains end to a properly rated wall outlet or power distribution unit. Ensure the device is powered off before connecting or disconnecting the cable. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the device power inlet matches the IEC connector type used by this cord
• Ensure 250 V / 10 A ratings are suitable for your equipment and local mains
• Confirm the 2.5 m length is sufficient for your installation layout

Recommendations

Use the CAB-ACE for standard office and data centre network equipment where an IEC-compatible 2.5 m mains lead is required; avoid using the cable in environments needing specialized certification or higher electrical ratings.
