APC RACK PDU BASIC 1 U 16A 230V power distribution unit (PDU) 12 AC outlet(s) 0U/1U Black

APC Basic Rack PDU provides reliable rack-mounted power distribution for data center and network equipment. It accepts nominal input voltages of 120, 208 or 230 V and delivers corresponding output voltages with twelve always-on outlets: ten IEC-320 C13 and two IEC-320 C19. The unit is designed for 19-inch racks with vertical mounting capability and includes cord retention clips and rack mounting brackets.

Advantages

The APC Basic Rack PDU offers a cost-effective solution for power distribution in rack environments, supporting multiple nominal voltages and a wide acceptable input range (90–250 VAC). With an IEC-320 C20 input connector and a 2.5 m (8.2 ft) cord, it simplifies installation while providing overload protection and a maximum per-phase current rating of 16 A.

How to use

Mount the PDU vertically in a 19-inch equipment rack using the supplied rack mounting brackets and secure the power cord with the included cord retention clips. Connect the IEC-320 C20 input to an appropriate power source matched to the device's nominal or acceptable input voltage range. Attach equipment to the IEC-320 C13 and C19 outlets; all twelve outlets are always on. Observe the maximum per-phase current of 16 A to avoid tripping overload protection.

Recommendations

Verify facility power capacity and circuit ratings before installation, and distribute connected loads to avoid exceeding 16 A per phase. Use compatible IEC power cords and ensure rack airflow is not obstructed to maintain equipment cooling.
