Product Information

Full details

This APC Basic Rack PDU (AP9568) is designed for IT professionals needing efficient, reliable power distribution in space-constrained environments. Its primary benefit is the Zero U vertical mounting, maximizing rack space while providing 15 C13 outlets. A caveat is its basic functionality; it does not offer network monitoring or remote management features, making it suitable for essential power delivery rather than advanced infrastructure control.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is 'Zero U' mounting?

Zero U (0U) mounting means the PDU installs vertically within a standard 19-inch rack, typically along the side, without taking up any horizontal rack unit (U) space. This is ideal for maximizing the space available for IT equipment.

How many devices can this PDU power?

The AP9568 has 15 IEC C13 outlets, allowing you to connect up to 15 devices, provided their combined power draw does not exceed the PDU's 10A (2300W) capacity.

Does this PDU offer network management features?

No, this is a 'Basic' PDU and does not include features such as remote monitoring, outlet control, or environmental sensing. It is designed for simple power distribution.

What type of power plug does the input have?

The input power plug is an IEC-320 C14 connector.

What is the cord length?

The power cord length is 6.5 feet, which is approximately 1.98 meters.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The PDU has a load capacity of 2300 VA, and a maximum total current draw per phase of 10A at 230V.

What is included with the PDU?

The PDU comes with an Installation Guide, Rack Mounting Brackets, and a Toolless Mounting Kit for straightforward installation.

Troubleshooting

PDU not powering connected devices.

Ensure the PDU's power cord is securely plugged into a working power source. Verify the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the PDU's 10A (2300W) capacity. Check that the power source itself is operational.

Device intermittently loses power.

Check the connection of the affected device's power cord to the PDU outlet. Ensure the PDU is securely mounted and not subject to vibration. Verify the power source is stable.

Overheating concerns.

Ensure all ventilation slots on the PDU are clear and unobstructed. Confirm that the total load does not consistently exceed the rated capacity. Verify ambient room temperature is within operating limits (0-45 °C).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maximizes rack space with Zero U vertical design.
  • Provides a high number of C13 outlets (15) for connecting multiple devices.
  • Includes toolless mounting for quick and easy installation.
  • Reliable power distribution for essential IT equipment.
  • Compatible with standard 230V power environments.

Cons

  • Lacks advanced features like network monitoring or remote power control.
  • Basic functionality may not suit complex, high-density environments requiring granular control.
  • 10A current limit may not be sufficient for very high-power density racks.
  • Only includes C13 outlets; adapters may be needed for other plug types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Utilize the included toolless mounting kit or rack mounting brackets to secure the PDU vertically in your server rack. Ensure it is stable and does not impede airflow.
  2. Connection: Plug the PDU's IEC C14 input connector into a suitable power source (UPS or mains power distribution).
  3. Device Connection: Connect your IT equipment to the 15 IEC C13 outlets on the PDU.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Compatible with 200-240 VAC power input.
  • Frequency: Works with 50/60 Hz power grids.
  • Outlets: Designed for devices with IEC C13 power cords.

Care:

  • Keep the unit clean by wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ensure ventilation slots are unobstructed to prevent overheating.
  • Periodically check the power cord and outlets for any signs of damage.
  • Operate within the specified temperature (0-45 °C) and humidity (0-95% non-condensing) ranges.
