​​CAB-IR2073-C15-AR= Overview​​

The ​​CAB-IR2073-C15-AR=​​ is a ​​Cisco-certified power cable​​ designed for high-performance networking and server equipment. Featuring a ​​C15 connector​​ (rated for high-temperature environments), it ensures reliable power delivery in data centers, industrial setups, and enterprise deployments.

​​Core Specifications​​

• ​​Connector Type:​​ ​​IEC-C15 to NEMA 5-15P​​, compatible with devices requiring high-heat resistance.
• ​​Voltage Handling:​​ ​​125V/10A​​, compliant with regional electrical standards (AR suffix suggests Argentina-specific certification).
• ​​Cable Length:​​ 6.5 feet (2 meters) for flexible routing in constrained spaces.
• ​​Safety Standards:​​ ​​UL/CSA Certified​​, with flame-retardant PVC insulation.

​​Key User Questions Addressed​​

​​Q: Which Cisco devices require this cable?​​

• ​​Routers/Switches:​​ Compatible with Cisco ​​ASR 9000 series​​ and ​​Catalyst 9400 switches​​ using C15 inlets.
• ​​Power Distribution Units (PDUs):​​ Ideal for connecting to PDUs in high-density racks where heat buildup is common.

​​Q: Can it replace a standard C13 power cord?​​
No—​​C15 connectors​​ are designed for equipment operating above ​​120°C​​, such as servers with high-power CPUs or switches with redundant power supplies.

​​Typical Use Cases​​

• ​​Data Center Hot Aisles:​​ Safeguard connections in high-temperature zones, such as blade server chassis.
• ​​Industrial IoT Hubs:​​ Secure power for ruggedized Cisco switches in manufacturing plants.
• ​​Compact Deployments:​​ Simplify cable management in edge computing nodes with limited space.

​​Why Choose the CAB-IR2073-C15-AR=?​​

• ​​Heat Resistance:​​ Built to operate in environments up to ​​120°C​​ (vs. C13’s 70°C limit).
• ​​Compliance:​​ Meets ​​Argentina’s IRAM standards​​ (as indicated by the “-AR” suffix).
• ​​Reliability:​​ Cisco’s rigorous testing ensures minimal risk of power disruptions due to cable failure.

​​Practical Insights​​

Having managed deployments in Latin American markets, I’ve seen generic cables fail under sustained high temperatures in facilities like steel plants or solar farms. The CAB-IR2073-C15-AR= addresses this gap head-on—its region-specific certification and rugged design make it a smart investment for admins prioritizing longevity over upfront savings. Always verify your equipment’s inlet type before purchasing to avoid compatibility headaches.
