C13/C14 Coupling Cable APC AP9870 2.5m

The APC C13/C14 Coupler Cable APC AP9870 2.5m is a black power extension cable that provides a reliable electrical connection between devices with C14 and C13 inlets. With a total length of 2.5 m and a maximum current rating of 10 A, this cable supports input voltages from 90 to 250 V and is designed for stable power delivery in office, server room and home electronics environments.

Advantages

This C14 to C13 coupler cable offers consistent contact and secure connections to reduce the risk of accidental disconnection. Its 2.5 m length gives flexibility in equipment placement while maintaining signal integrity for power delivery. The cable's black jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for IT racks and visible installations, and its lightweight construction eases handling and routing behind equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting power between UPS units and servers or network equipment
• Extending existing IEC power connections in data centers and server cabinets
• Powering desktop PCs, monitors and other office electronics
• Temporary or semi-permanent wiring for AV setups and test benches

Key specifications

• Connector A: C14 coupler
• Connector B: C13 coupler
• Length: 2.5 m
• Maximum current: 10 A
• Input voltage range: 90–250 V
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.23 kg

How to use

Insert the C14 coupler into a compatible power inlet or extension and connect the C13 end to the device requiring power. Ensure both ends are fully seated and avoid routing the cable across sharp edges or heat sources. Verify that the connected equipment's input voltage falls within the 90–250 V range and that the total current draw does not exceed 10 A for safe operation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid tightly coiling the cable and keep it away from moisture and direct heat. Inspect connectors periodically for signs of wear or damage and replace the cable if the insulation is compromised. When used in rack environments, use cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.
