Deployment / Use Cases
The APC Basic Rack PDU is engineered for data centers, server rooms, and network closets where reliable power distribution and space efficiency are critical. Its 12.5kVA capacity and 36 outlets make it suitable for dense server deployments, network equipment racks, and storage array installations.
The vertical 0U design is particularly valuable in full-height racks where every horizontal U of space is allocated to revenue-generating equipment. The mix of C13 and C19 outlets supports both standard servers and higher-power devices like blade chassis or storage systems that require C19 connections.
Data Center Server Racks
Power multiple servers, switches, and storage units in a single rack while maintaining zero U footprint for maximum equipment density.
Network Equipment Rooms
Distribute 208V power to networking gear, security appliances, and communication equipment with the space-saving vertical mounting design.
Physical Profile
The PDU features a slim profile measuring 70" in height, 2.20" in width, and 3.50" in depth, designed to fit vertically in standard 19-inch racks. The black finish blends with typical rack equipment, while the 15.32 lb weight ensures stable mounting without excessive load on rack rails. The vertical orientation and side placement provide easy access to all outlets while maintaining clean cable routing along the rack's side channels.
