Cisco CAB-AC 6.9ft 2.1m 10A 125V NEMA 5-15P to C13 North America AC Power Cord

The Cisco CAB-AC is the standard North American AC power cord used across a wide range of Cisco switches, routers, firewalls and rack servers. It runs from a NEMA 5-15P plug at the outlet end to an IEC 60320 C13 connector at the equipment end, so it fits any Cisco power supply with a C14 inlet.

Cisco lists the cord at 2.1 meters, about 6.9 feet. That reaches from a rack-mounted device to a nearby power strip or wall receptacle without leaving a large loop of slack in the rack. The cord is rated 10A at 125 VAC, in line with the C13 connector, and uses black 18 AWG jacketed cable.

Because the CAB-AC uses the common 5-15P plug, it is the cord to choose when equipment is powered from ordinary 120V outlets or a 120V power strip. If your rack has a PDU with C13 outlets instead, a cabinet jumper is the better fit: the Cisco CAB-C13-C14-AC 2.5m C13 to C14 cabinet jumper connects the same C14 inlets directly to the PDU.

Many Cisco devices ship with one power supply and an open second bay. When a second supply is added for redundancy, each supply needs its own cord, so keeping a spare CAB-AC on hand avoids a delay during installation.

This seller refurbished Cisco CAB-AC is tested, working, and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty.
