APC AP6020A Basic Rack PDU 13×C13 120/230V 3.31 lbs

Rack PDU with 13 C13 outlets

The APC AP6020A is a basic rack-mountable power distribution unit designed to supply power to multiple devices in a server rack or network cabinet. It provides thirteen C13 outlets for connecting equipment such as servers, switches and storage units. The unit accepts both 120V AC and 230V AC input voltages, making it suitable for various regional power standards. It is a straightforward solution for organising power delivery in a standard rack environment.

Check inlet type and cord supply

Before ordering, verify that your rack equipment uses IEC C13 plugs compatible with the thirteen outlets provided. The PDU features an IEC-320 C20 inlet, so you must source a compatible input power cord separately as one is not included. Confirm that your facility provides either 120V AC or 230V AC supply matching the unit's rated input voltages. Ensure you have sufficient rack space for a horizontal mount installation.

Passive operation with no fan noise

This basic PDU contains no active cooling components, so it operates silently without adding any fan noise to the rack environment. Thermals are managed entirely by passive convection through the metal chassis, meaning the unit itself generates negligible heat during normal power distribution. Power draw is limited to the minimal losses of the internal bus and connections, placing no significant additional load on the upstream circuit. The lightweight 3.31 lbs construction simplifies mounting and handling.
