Product Features
Technical Overview
This Basic Rack PDU operates with 3.68 kVA power capacity, handling up to 16A current at 230V output. The input accepts 200V, 208V, and 230V voltages, making it compatible with standard three-phase power systems. Output remains stable at 230V AC across all connected devices.
The outlet configuration includes 20 IEC 60320 C13 receptacles for standard server and networking equipment, plus 4 IEC 60320 C19 receptacles for higher-power devices. All outlets receive power through a single IEC 60320 C20 input connector. The vertical mounting orientation places outlets along the rack's side for organized cable management.
Relevant factors for this section include PDU Type, Plug/Connector Type, Receptacle Type, Input Voltage. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This PDU combines high-density power distribution with space-saving design. The 0U profile eliminates rack space consumption while delivering full power capacity to connected equipment. Toolless mounting brackets enable installation without specialized tools, reducing deployment time.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include High Outlet Density, Space-Efficient Design.
High Outlet Density
With 24 total outlets (20 C13 + 4 C19), this PDU supports numerous devices while maintaining organized power distribution.
- 20 standard C13 outlets
- 4 high-power C19 outlets
- Mixed configuration flexibility
Space-Efficient Design
The 0U vertical mounting consumes no rack unit space, preserving valuable rack real estate for active equipment.
- Zero rack units required
- Vertical side placement
- Minimal footprint
Deployment / Use Cases
This Basic Rack PDU suits data centers, server rooms, and network closets requiring organized power distribution. The 3.68 kVA capacity supports moderate-density server racks with mixed equipment types. The outlet mix accommodates both standard servers and higher-power storage or networking devices.
Ideal for environments where rack space is at a premium, the 0U design allows full equipment mounting in standard 42U racks. The toolless installation simplifies setup in time-sensitive deployments or frequently reconfigured environments. The vertical orientation keeps power cables organized along the rack side rather than protruding into equipment space.
Data Center Power Distribution
Distribute power to server racks with mixed equipment types, from standard 1U servers to higher-power storage arrays.
Network Closet Consolidation
Provide organized power to networking equipment, switches, and smaller servers in space-constrained environments.
Physical Profile
This PDU measures 63.74 inches in height with a slim 2.20-inch width and 1.73-inch depth, designed specifically for vertical rack mounting. The black finish matches standard rack equipment aesthetics. At 10.71 pounds, the unit maintains manageable weight for installation. The 9.8-foot power cord provides reach to nearby power sources without requiring extension cords.

FAQ
What is the power capacity of this APC rack PDU?
This APC Basic Rack PDU delivers 3.68 kVA (kilovolt-amperes) of power capacity. This rating indicates the maximum apparent power the unit can distribute to connected equipment. The PDU handles up to 16A current at 230V output, making it suitable for moderate-density server racks and networking equipment.
How many outlets does this PDU have and what types?
This PDU features 24 total outlets: 20 IEC 60320 C13 receptacles and 4 IEC 60320 C19 receptacles. The C13 outlets accommodate standard server and networking equipment power cords, while the C19 outlets support higher-power devices requiring more current. This mixed configuration provides flexibility for racks with varied equipment types.
What rack space does this PDU consume during installation?
This PDU consumes zero rack units (0U) of space. It mounts vertically along the side of the rack rather than occupying horizontal rack units. This design preserves all available rack space for active equipment while still providing full power distribution capabilities. The vertical orientation also helps organize power cables along the rack side.
What input voltages does this PDU support?
This PDU accepts input voltages of 200V, 208V, and 230V. This range accommodates common commercial power configurations, including standard three-phase power systems. The unit automatically handles these input voltages and delivers consistent 230V AC output to all connected devices regardless of which input voltage is supplied.
Is special equipment needed to mount this PDU in a rack?
No special equipment is required. The PDU includes toolless mounting brackets that enable installation without tools. The brackets attach directly to standard 19-inch rack mounting rails, and the PDU slides into place. This design simplifies deployment in time-sensitive situations or environments where equipment is frequently reconfigured.
What warranty coverage does this APC PDU include?
This APC Basic Rack PDU comes with a 2-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. APC by Schneider Electric provides this coverage as part of their commitment to product reliability and customer satisfaction in data center and server room environments.
