APC Power Cord Splitter 208V, 1.83 m, L21-20P to (3) L5-20R

Overview

The APC AP9883 is a power cord splitter designed to convert a single 208V three-phase NEMA L21-20P input into three independent NEMA L5-20R outputs. This allows you to power multiple devices such as servers, network switches, or industrial controllers from one receptacle while supporting up to 16 amps per phase. The 1.83-meter cord length offers a practical balance between reach and cable management, making it suitable for organized setups in data centers, labs, and industrial environments.

Key features

• Splits one three-phase 208V input into three separate outputs, enabling efficient power distribution.
• Supports up to 16 amps per phase, providing sufficient current for moderate power devices.
• 1.83-meter flexible cord length allows easy routing behind equipment and through cable management systems.
• Independent outputs help balance electrical loads and reduce the number of required circuits.
• UL certified construction ensures safety and compliance with industry standards.
• Backed by a two-year warranty from APC for reliable, long-term use.

Connectivity and compatibility

This splitter is designed to work with equipment requiring 208V three-phase power, commonly found in data centers, server rooms, laboratories, and industrial control cabinets. The NEMA L21-20P input connects to standard three-phase power sources, while the three NEMA L5-20R outputs accommodate devices that use single-phase 120V power at up to 16 amps. This setup is ideal for environments where multiple devices need reliable power from a single supply point.

Installation and setup

The AP9883 installs quickly and fits neatly into existing power configurations without requiring additional circuits. Its flexible cord and practical length make it easy to route in tight spaces or behind racks, reducing clutter and improving airflow. The independent outputs allow technicians to balance loads across phases, which can help optimize power distribution and prevent circuit overloads.

Ideal uses and environments

This power cord splitter is well suited to data centers expanding rack capacity, laboratories managing multiple instruments, and industrial settings consolidating power connections. It supports moderate current devices and helps maintain organized power distribution in environments where space and reliability are critical. Facility engineers and IT professionals will find it a practical solution for powering clusters of equipment from a single three-phase source.
