Supported Power Cords and Plugs

Each power supply has a separate power cord. Standard power cords or jumper power cords are available for connection to a power distribution unit that has IEC 60320 C19 outlet receptacles. The standard power cords have an IEC C13 connector on the end that plugs into the switch. The optional jumper power cords, for use in cabinets, have an IEC C13 connector on the end that plugs into the switch and an IEC C14 connector on the end that plugs into an IEC C13 outlet receptacle.

Note Only the regular power cords or jumper power cords provided with the switch are supported.

Note If you do not order the optional power cord with the system, you are responsible for selecting the appropriate power cord for the product. Using a non-compatible power cord with this product may result in electrical safety hazard. Orders delivered to Argentina, Brazil, and Japan must have the appropriate power cord ordered with the system.

Table C-4 lists the power cords and provides their lengths in feet and meters. Table C-5 lists the power cables for the HVAC/HVDC power supplies (NXA-PHV-1100W and NXA-PHV-1100W-B) that are available for the Cisco Nexus 5596 switch.
