APC by Schneider Electric AP7541 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP7541 is a 0U vertical Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for high-density server racks. It provides 20 outlets to distribute power to IT equipment, simplifying power management in data centers and network closets. This unit is intended for installation in standard 19-inch racks, occupying zero vertical rack spaces, which is critical for maximizing equipment density. The AP7541 supports input voltages from 200V to 230V and handles a 20A circuit, making it suitable for environments with substantial power requirements.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for use with APC's extensive range of rack enclosures and server cabinets. It is compatible with standard 19-inch wide racks and is suitable for deployment alongside APC Smart-UPS, Symmetra, and other APC power protection devices. Its vertical form factor ensures it fits within the side channels or rear of most standard server racks, providing power access to equipment mounted in the same enclosure.

Installation Notes

The AP7541 requires a hardwired connection to a 20A circuit breaker. Installation involves mounting the unit vertically within the rack, typically using the provided mounting brackets. Ensure adequate clearance for power cords connecting to the 20 outlets. The unit's zero-U design means it mounts in the unused space at the side of the rack, not consuming any front-to-back rack units.
