APC Basic Rack-Mount PDU AP9562 - 12x IEC C13 16A 1U 230V with IEC309 Input

Every rack has a power problem: too few outlets, messy cabling, or both. The APC Basic Rack-Mount PDU AP9562 solves that with a single, tidy 1U enclosure. It accepts a 16A supply through an industrial-grade IEC 309 connector and offers twelve IEC C13 outlets, letting you power multiple switches, patch panels, and servers from one central point. This is an unmanaged, no-frills PDU intended for reliable duty in professional IT environments.

Key specifications

• Basic rack-mount PDU with 1U horizontal form factor
• Twelve IEC 320 C13 output sockets for equipment power
• Input connectivity: IEC 309 16A 2P+E plug on 2.5 m cable
• Rated input current: 16 A at 230 V AC
• Output voltage: 230 V
• Maximum power handling: 3680 VA
• Input frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Colour: Black
• Certifications: CE, VDE

Why choose it

The AP9562 is a straightforward solution for expanding available sockets inside a rack. It lacks metering or remote switching, but that keeps costs down and avoids potential points of failure. The rugged metal housing is built to handle the heat and vibration of a busy rack, while the generous 2.5 m cable offers flexibility in positioning the PDU between equipment and a power source.

Ideal use cases

• Networking racks filled with switches, routers, and firewalls
• Low-profile server installations that need extra C13 connections
• Laboratory and test setups where multiple instruments require 230 V power
• Audio-visual or broadcast racks with several connected devices

Good to know

This PDU is designed for horizontal installation in a standard 19-inch rack and uses a single rack unit of height. It does not include overload protection, so ensure the connected equipment remains within the 16 A limit. The unit operates in ambient temperatures from 0 °C to 45 °C and relative humidity of 0% to 95% (non-condensing). With CE and VDE marks, the AP9562 meets relevant European safety standards.
