Six IEC C19 Outlets Deliver 14.4kW Power Distribution in 1U Form Factor

The APC AP7516 transforms rack power distribution with its compact 1U design that houses six IEC 60320 C19 outlets, each capable of handling high-power equipment demands. This intelligent layout maximizes outlet density while maintaining the slim profile essential for space-constrained data centers and network closets. The unit's 14.4kW power capacity ensures reliable operation of power-hungry servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment without compromising rack real estate. Engineered with overload protection and robust construction, this PDU eliminates the complexity of multiple branch circuits by consolidating power distribution into a single, manageable unit. The clearly labeled outlets (L1-1, L2-2, L3-3, etc.) facilitate organized cable management and simplify troubleshooting during maintenance operations.

    FAQs

    What is the APC AP7516 and what is its primary function?
    The APC AP7516 is a Basic Rack PDU (Power Distribution Unit) manufactured by APC by Schneider Electric. It's designed to distribute power efficiently within server racks, providing 14.4kW of power capacity with 40A current rating. The unit takes 230V AC input and outputs 208V AC power to 6 IEC 60320 C19 outlets, making it ideal for powering multiple rack-mounted equipment from a single branch whip connection.
    How many outlets does the AP7516 have and what type are they?
    The APC AP7516 features 6 outlets, all of which are IEC 60320 C19 receptacles. These C19 outlets are high-capacity connectors commonly used for server and networking equipment that requires higher power draw. The C19 receptacle type is designed to handle the unit's 14.4kW power capacity and 40A current rating, making it suitable for power-hungry rack equipment.
    What are the input and output voltage specifications for this PDU?
    The APC AP7516 accepts 230V AC as input voltage and provides 208V AC and 200V AC as output voltages. This voltage configuration is typical for three-phase power distribution in data centers and server rooms. The unit uses a Hubbell CS8365C plug connector for input connection and can deliver up to 14.4kW of power through its 6 C19 outlets.
    What are the physical dimensions and mounting options for the AP7516?
    The APC AP7516 is a 1U rack-mountable PDU with dimensions of 17.2 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and 1.7 inches high, weighing approximately 17.55 pounds. It includes rack mounting brackets and supports horizontal, vertical, and toolless-mount varieties. The 8.01-foot cord length provides flexibility for connection to power sources, and its compact 1U design maximizes rack space efficiency.
    What safety and protection features are included in this PDU?
    The APC AP7516 includes overload protection as its primary safety feature, which prevents damage to connected equipment by automatically shutting off power when the load exceeds safe operating limits. This protection mechanism helps safeguard both the PDU and connected devices from electrical faults. The unit is designed to meet industry safety standards for rack-mounted power distribution equipment.
