What is an OCP AC power cable for Open Rack V3?

An OCP AC power cable is a power connection cable designed for professional OCP and OpenRack V3 environments for the supply of alternating current. The focus is not on a simple standard connection, but on a system-specific solution for structured rack, power shelf and power distribution concepts in the data centre.

Direct definition:
OCP AC power cables are specialised AC connection cables for OCP or OpenRack V3 systems. They are used to provide a robust and system-compatible power supply in data centre and infrastructure projects.
Background on OCP

How the Open Compute Project came about

The origins of OCP lie in a data centre project by Meta. In 2009, the company set out to develop a particularly energy-efficient and economically scalable data centre that would enable the lowest possible total costs, even on a very large scale.

The result was groundbreaking: the data centre could be built with nearly 40% greater energy efficiency and was 24% more cost-effective than the company’s previous generation of data centres. Building on this success, Meta made the underlying open-source designs publicly available in 2011 and, together with Intel, Rackspace and other partners, founded the Open Compute Project Foundation.

This background is relevant to today’s B2B context because OCP stands for open, scalable and efficiently planned data centre architectures. OCP AC power cables thus fit into an environment where system compatibility, adherence to standards and project-specific infrastructure play a central role.

OCP relevance Structured rack and power architectures with clear technical allocation.
B2B relevance Relevant for tenders, integration projects and technical procurement.
Project focus Connection, design, integration and documentation are crucial.
Practical benefits Clean planning, suitable interfaces and reliable power distribution within the rack.
Application environment
Rechenzentrum mit Rack-Infrastruktur für OCP AC-Stromkabel und Open Rack V3
Data centre environments with rack infrastructure are the typical application for OCP AC power cables.

Why is this topic particularly relevant in B2B?

In a professional environment, it is not enough for a connector to simply fit mechanically. System architecture, power requirements, installation conditions, availability, documentation and long-term replaceability are also important.

  • Suitable for structured data centre environments
  • Important for integrators and project managers
  • relevant for tenders, technical approvals and bulk procurement
  • advantageous for standard-compliant, scalable infrastructures

What are OCP AC power cables used for?

Power distribution within the rack

OCP AC power cables supply alternating current to power shelves or rack-mounted power supply units. They form part of a structured infrastructure and are not merely accessories.

Integration into project environments

In integration and data centre projects, cables are specifically selected to match the power concept, rack layout, connection diagram and installation situation.

Support for scalable designs

The more structured an environment is, the more important defined cable types, traceable specifications and reproducible procurement processes become.

Note: In OCP/ORV3-based applications, the focus is often not just on the individual cable, but on its role within the rack, power shelf, power distribution, cable routing and service concept.

Current solutions for OCP ORV3 AC inputs

In this area, requirements vary depending on the target market, design, cable type and project environment. The following information provides a concise overview of known approaches and currently relevant solutions in the context of OCP AC power cables and Open Rack V3.

Current overview:
Yung-Li offers the YD-42 as a solution for the OCP ORV3 AC input. The design, cable configuration and technical specifications vary depending on the market.

North American market

  • Product: YD-42
  • Design: Moulded connectors
  • Design: 90-degree angle
  • Approval: UL approval
  • Cable range: currently under 10 AWG
  • Available cable options: STW, STOW and SOOW

This variant is suitable for applications requiring a compact 90° solution for the OCP ORV3 AC input.

 

European market

  • Design: Assembled connectors
  • Design: inclined by 45 degrees
  • Cable combination: H07RN-F

A version with pre-fitted connectors is currently being considered for Europe, which can be combined with H07RN-F cable. This version is designed to meet different market requirements than the North American variant.
