Service Bypass Panel 120V 15A

The APC SBP1500RM is a rackmount power distribution unit designed to provide maintenance bypass capability for compatible UPS systems. It accepts a 125V AC input through a NEMA 5-15P plug and distributes power via eight NEMA 5-15R outlets. The unit ships new with a 17-inch input cord for rack installation.

IT environments needing hot-swappable UPS

This panel suits administrators who must service a UPS without interrupting power to connected servers or network gear. It is not intended for loads exceeding 15A at 120V, nor for installations where the UPS input requires a different plug type or voltage. Environments needing higher amperage or alternative input configurations should evaluate other bypass solutions.

15A NEMA 5-15P input rating

The single specification that determines fit is the 15A NEMA 5-15P input connection paired with 120V output. Verify that the UPS and the branch circuit both match this exact plug and current rating before purchase. The 17-inch cord length fixes the placement distance between the panel and the UPS input.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the bypass panel is passing power correctly after rack installation?

Verify the front-panel status LEDs show normal operation and measure 120 V at each of the eight 5-15R outlets with a multimeter while the UPS is online.

What ships with the unit and what must I source separately?

The panel includes the 17 inch rack-mount chassis with NEMA 5-15P input cord and eight 5-15R outlets; you must supply mounting screws and any PDU-to-device power cords.

Which version should I choose for a 15 A, 120 V rack circuit?

Select the 1500 VA model rated 15 A at 120 V with NEMA 5-15P input and eight 5-15R outputs to match a standard 15 A branch circuit.
