The APC Easy PDU Basic Zero U 22 kW 230V is a compact, rack‑mountable power distribution unit designed for high‑density data centers and enterprise environments. With its zero‑U footprint, it fits seamlessly into any standard 19‑inch rack without consuming valuable space.

Key Design Features

• Zero‑U Form Factor: The unit occupies no rack height, allowing maximum utilization of vertical real estate.
• Three‑Phase Input: Supports 400 V three‑phase power via an IEC 60309 3P+N+PE inlet, delivering robust and reliable supply for demanding workloads.
• High Power Capacity: Rated at 22 kW (22 000 VA), it can comfortably handle a large number of high‑draw servers or networking equipment.
• 32 A Current Rating: The PDU is engineered to operate safely at 32 amps, ensuring consistent performance under load.

Output Configuration

The unit offers a versatile mix of outlets tailored for modern rack equipment:

• 30 × IEC 60320 C13 sockets – ideal for standard 1‑U servers, switches, and storage devices.
• 12 × IEC 60320 C19 sockets – suited for higher‑power appliances such as blade chassis or high‑density networking gear.
• Total of 42 AC outlets, all located on a single 0U board for easy cable management.

Installation and Compatibility

The PDU is designed to be installed directly into any standard 19‑inch rack. Its compact size means it can be mounted in tight spaces where traditional PDUs would not fit. The unit is fully compatible with APC’s extensive line of UPS systems, allowing seamless integration into existing power protection schemes.
