APC by Schneider Electric AP7580 Basic Rack PDU Extender

Overview

The APC AP7580 is a 2U rack-mountable power distribution unit designed to extend power capacity within a server rack. It addresses the need for additional outlets when existing PDUs or UPS units are at full capacity. This unit is suitable for environments requiring reliable power distribution for networking gear, servers, or other IT equipment within a standard 19-inch rack. The AP7580 model features a NEMA L14-30P input connector and provides four NEMA L5-20R output receptacles.

Compatibility

This PDU Extender is designed to connect to a power source with a NEMA L14-30P receptacle, typically found on higher-amperage UPS systems or main power feeds. It provides four NEMA L5-20R outlets, making it compatible with standard 20A, 120V IT equipment. It is suitable for use with APC Smart-UPS, Back-UPS Pro, and other UPS or power distribution systems that offer an L14-30P output. Ensure your power source can support the total load of connected devices.

Installation Notes

The AP7580 requires a NEMA L14-30P power source. Its 2U form factor occupies two rack units of vertical space. The unit has a cord length of 28 feet (8.53 meters), offering flexibility in placement within a rack. The maximum input current is 30A, with a regulatory derated input current of 24A, which dictates the total continuous load you can safely connect across the four output receptacles. Operating temperature range is 32-113°F (0-45°C).
