APC AP9571A – Basic Rack PDU 10×C13 208 V 30 A 1U

Overview

APC AP9571A is a basic rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed to take a single high‑capacity branch power feed and distribute AC power to multiple IT devices in a standard rack environment. It’s deployed by data center, network, and facilities engineers where straightforward, non‑managed power distribution is required at 208 V without active monitoring or outlet control. The unit addresses the core need for reliable outlet provisioning near IT equipment in cabinets, racks, and enclosure systems.

The PDU accepts a NEMA L6‑30P (30 A) input plug and distributes power across ten IEC 60320 C13 outlets. With a nominal 208 V AC bus and approximately 4,992 VA total capacity, it aligns with typical rack power circuits found downstream of UPS systems and building feeds. Integrated resettable circuit breakers provide basic overload protection and simplify recovery from overcurrent events without external fuses.

Form‑factor is horizontal 1 U designed for standard 19″ EIA‑310 racks. Included mounting hardware accommodates installation in server rooms, intermediate distribution frames (IDFs), and data halls where density and accessibility are priorities. The power cord is roughly 3.66 m (12 ft) for flexible routing to nearby branch circuits or UPS outputs.

Physical construction uses a robust chassis and conforms to key safety standards (UL, cUL, PSE, RoHS) for indoor IT spaces. It is suitable where basic distribution suffices, and not intended for environments needing advanced management, remote outlet control, or integrated surge suppression.

In deployment, AP9571A serves to feed servers, storage systems, network switches, and peripherals from a 208 V rack power source, preserving usable rack units for active equipment while maintaining organized AC provisioning. Avoid use in outdoor, wet, or hazardous locations without appropriate enclosure protection.
