0U Vertical Switched PDU

The APC AP8965 is a zero-U vertical power distribution unit designed for high-density server racks. It accepts 208 V three-phase input through a NEMA L21-30P plug and provides twenty-one C13 and three C19 outlets. Network administrators can remotely power-cycle individual receptacles to recover unresponsive equipment without a site visit.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The unit carries a regulatory derated input current of 24 A against a 30 A maximum, delivering up to 8.6 kW across all phases. Overload protection trips when total draw exceeds the rated limit, preventing nuisance breaker trips during steady operation. It operates continuously from minus five to forty-five degrees Celsius at up to ninety-five percent relative humidity.

Installation Notes

Vertical 0U mounting uses the full rack height without consuming horizontal U-space, and the 5.9 ft input cord reaches nearby three-phase panels. The C13 and C19 outlets accept standard IEC 320 cables, but devices requiring other connector types will need adapters. Ensure the facility provides a compatible L21-30R receptacle and three-phase 208 V service before deployment.

Questions about this item

Does the 30 A three-phase input or the 24 A derated limit generate noticeable heat when the unit runs continuously?

The PDU operates between –5 °C and 45 °C with no active cooling mentioned, so heat output stays within that range under the 24 A derated load.

My rack only has C13 and C19 cords — will the 21 C13 and 3 C19 outlets accept them directly?

Yes, the 21 IEC 320 C13 and 3 IEC 320 C19 receptacles match standard C13 and C19 plugs without adapters.

Can I keep my older single-phase 208 V gear on the same three-phase NEMA L21-30P feed?

The unit delivers 208 V from a three-phase 30 A source; single-phase 208 V devices can connect to the C13 or C19 outlets as long as total draw stays within the 24 A derated limit.
