APC AP6009A – Basic 0U Rack PDU 32 A 230 V

Overview

APC AP6009A is a basic power distribution unit (PDU) engineered for straightforward AC power distribution within rack environments. It is deployed by rack technicians and facilities teams to deliver consistent 230 V AC power from a single branch supply to multiple connected devices without remote management or metering. Verified data confirms its place in standard IT racks requiring reliable outlet density without advanced controls.

The unit accepts a single‑phase 230 V AC input via an IEC 60309 32 A 2P+E inlet and supports maximum input current up to 32 A with a total load capacity around 7.4 kVA. It supplies 26 outlets consisting of twenty IEC 60320 C13 and six IEC 60320 C19 receptacles to support mixed equipment loads.

Mechanically, AP6009A installs in a zero‑U vertical profile alongside rack rails in 19″ cabinets, preserving usable rack U‑space for active equipment. A 3.05 m cord offers flexibility in connecting to upstream power sources in typical rack layouts.

Electrical protections are limited to basic overload provisions; there are no integrated monitoring, switching, or network management features. This design keeps the unit focused on fundamental AC distribution and capacity delivery.

In practical deployments, this PDU serves in data centers, colocation racks, or edge server enclosures where a dense set of outlets is needed for patch panels, switches, servers, or storage equipment without the complexity of managed PDUs. Operators often pair these with upstream breakers or UPS units for facility‑level power protection.

This model is not intended for environments that require remote power control, per‑outlet metering, or sequencing; its feature set is limited to passive distribution.
