Nexus N9K-C9508 Power cable for Japan

[sschubert]

Hi,

I have a customer that wants to order the N9K-C9508 and to deploy them in Japan. Their current PDUs have a C13 sockets. I haven't seen a power cord option that would be able to be used with this PDU. Does this PDU just not support the N9K mentioned or is there another solution?

Thank you,

Steve

look at the below guie (is this what you looking for ?)

If that is not working in the exiting environment, you may need some customize cable conversion, that is possible in the local market and supplier.

I've looked at it and it seems the C13 PDUs will not provide sufficient capacity needed for the N9K-C9508 power supplies.

The max amperage (current) supported by a C13 receptacle is 10 or 15A depending on whether international or NA standards are applied. At a minimum 16A are needed for the N9K. See link below.

The only solution would be to have the proper PDUs / receptacles.

Hope this is of some help
