APC AP9560 Basic Rack-mount PDU Hor/Vert

What this PDU is and who it suits

The APC AP9560 is a basic rack-mount power distribution unit designed for server racks and network enclosures. It accepts equipment plugs and delivers utility power without metering or switching functions. It is intended for administrators who need simple, reliable power distribution in a standard rack.

Mounting orientation and practical limits

The unit can be installed horizontally across a rack shelf or vertically along a rack post, giving flexibility in dense or shallow enclosures. It provides only passive power distribution, so it cannot monitor load, cycle outlets remotely or sequence startup. Buyers who need per-outlet metering or remote reboot capability should look elsewhere.

Capacity and headroom

The AP9560 distributes the full rated amperage and voltage of the chosen model to connected devices until the branch circuit or input plug rating is reached. It has no internal circuit intelligence, so overload protection depends entirely on the upstream breaker. Environments requiring granular power budgeting or outlet-level limits will find this unit insufficient.
