AC Power Cord Specifications for an EX 8200 series Switch
Each AC power supply has a single AC appliance inlet located on the power supply
that requires a dedicated AC power feed. Most sites distribute power through a main
conduit that leads to frame-mounted power distribution panels, one of which can be
located at the top of the rack that houses the switch. An AC power cord connects
each power supply to the power distribution panel.
Each detachable AC power cord is 2.5 meters (approximately 8 feet) long. The
appliance coupler at the female end of the cord inserts into the AC appliance inlet
on the faceplate of the AC power supply. The coupler type is C19 as described by
the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug at the
male end of the power cord fits into the power source outlet that is standard for your
geographical location.
NOTE: In North America, AC power cords must not exceed 4.5 meters (approximately
15 feet) in length, to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) Sections 400-8
(NFPA 75, 5-2.2) and 210-52 and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 4-010(3).
The cords shipped with the switch are in compliance.

CAUTION: The AC power cord for the EX 8200 series switch is intended for use with
the switch only and not for any other use.
Power Cable Warning (Japanese)
WARNING: The attached power cable is only for this product. Do not use the cable for another product.
CAUTION: Power cords must not block access to switch components. We recommend
that you route all AC power cord cables through the power cord tray provided with
the switch.
WARNING: The switch is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access
location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal provided on the chassis in
addition to the grounding pin of the power supply cord. This separate protective
earth terminal must be permanently connected to earth ground. See Connecting
Earth Ground to an EX-series Switch.
