APC AP9564 Basic Rack PDU 10×5‑20R 20 A 1U

Overview

APC AP9564 is a basic power distribution unit (PDU) designed to distribute mains power within IT rack enclosures where expanded outlet capacity is required from a single branch feed. It is specified for data center, network, and facilities engineers who need efficient, horizontal outlet distribution in 19″ rack environments. This model addresses the need for consistent, uncluttered power access for multiple rack devices without remote power management or metering.

The unit accepts a NEMA L5‑20P locking input plug and distributes power across ten NEMA 5‑20R receptacles, supporting a nominal 120 V AC bus and rated up to 20 A total current. Load capacity is approximately 2.4 kVA, in line with typical North American 120 V rack power circuits. The integrated 3.66 m (12 ft) power cord allows flexibility to reach building branch outlets or UPS outputs feeding the rack infrastructure.

AP9564 occupies a horizontal 1 U rack‑mount footprint, suitable for standard EIA‑310 19″ racks and enclosures. Included rack mounting brackets facilitate rapid installation near active equipment. Its all‑metal housing and basic design support structured power distribution without adding managed PDU complexity.

Physical and environmental tolerances align with typical indoor IT infrastructure requirements: operating temperature range down to –5 °C and up to 45 °C, with storage conditions extending from –25 °C to 65 °C and broad humidity tolerance. The unit is certified to meet UL, cUL, and CSA standards for safety and compliance.

In deployment, AP9564 is applied to feed rack‑mounted servers, switches, storage arrays, and auxiliary devices where basic outlet provisioning is sufficient. It is not engineered for remote outlet control, integrated surge suppression, or environments requiring higher voltage systems or outdoor/hazardous ratings.
