​​Technical Specifications and Safety Certifications​​

The ​​CAB-PWR-AC2CHI=​​ is a ​​10A/250V AC power cable​​ tailored for Cisco devices deployed in China, featuring a ​​CEE 7/16 (Type C) plug​​ compliant with ​​GB 2099.1-2008​​ and ​​GB 1002-2008​​ standards. Its ​​3×1.5 mm² tinned copper conductors​​ ensure minimal resistance, while the ​​flame-retardant PVC jacket​​ (FT1 rating) withstands temperatures up to 105°C. The cable supports ​​250V AC at 50/60Hz​​, making it ideal for high-power Cisco UCS servers and switches.

​​Primary Applications and Regional Compatibility​​

This cable is designed for:

• ​​Cisco Catalyst 9300/9500 switches​​ in Chinese data centers requiring GB-compliant power feeds.
• ​​Industrial IoT gateways​​ operating in harsh environments with strict electrical safety mandates.
• ​​Cisco Webex Room Kits​​ needing stable 250V input for 4K video collaboration systems.

A critical user question: ​​“Can it replace universal C13 cables in China?”​​ While possible, the ​​CAB-PWR-AC2CHI=​​’s GB certification ensures compliance with local grid fluctuations and safety inspections—generic cables risk non-compliance fines.

​​Installation and Safety Considerations​​

Users often ask: ​​“Does it support PoE++ (90W) deployments?”​​ Yes, but ensure paired PDUs and switches like the ​​Cisco Catalyst 9200L​​ are configured for ​​250V input​​ to avoid tripping breakers.

Another concern: ​​“Is outdoor use permitted?”​​ While the PVC jacket resists moisture, it lacks IP67 ratings—deploy it only in sheltered outdoor enclosures.

​​Procuring Certified CAB-PWR-AC2CHI= Cables​​

Authentic units with valid GB markings are available exclusively via itmall.sale. Counterfeit cables often use undersized 1.0 mm² conductors, risking overheating in China’s 220-240V grids.

​​Why Localized Power Cables Are Non-Negotiable in China​​

During a Shanghai data center audit, a client using uncertified C13 cables faced shutdowns due to voltage sag during peak loads. The ​​CAB-PWR-AC2CHI=​​’s GB-compliant design and robust construction resolved these issues, proving that regional certification isn’t bureaucracy—it’s operational insurance. For enterprises in China, cutting costs on power infrastructure invites regulatory and operational risks no IT team can afford.
