APC Basic 2U, 30A, 200/208V, (4)L6-20 Rack Power Distribution Unit Extender

The APC AP7581 is a 2U rack power distribution unit that brings steady 208 volt power to servers, network switches, and lab equipment without adding complexity to your rack layout. Because the unit ships with a 28 foot power cord, you can route the cord to a distant wall outlet or overhead power track while still placing the PDU exactly where it is easiest to reach inside the rack.

A 30 amp input rating and a 4992 volt-ampere load capacity give the AP7581 enough headroom for dense racks that host blade enclosures, storage arrays, or multiple high-draw test stations. Four NEMA L6-20R outlets are spaced to accept locking plugs found on enterprise hardware, so each connected device stays firmly seated even in racks that see frequent maintenance.

Power enters through a single NEMA L14-30P plug that is common in data centers and electrical rooms. Whether you are standardizing new racks or extending an existing power bus, the plug simplifies hookup and keeps installation costs down. The unit operates at either 50 or 60 hertz, making it suitable for facilities that use North American or international power infrastructure at 200 or 208 volts.

The chassis occupies only two rack units and can be mounted horizontally at the front or rear of the rack. This layout keeps outlet faces visible, leaves vertical space free for equipment, and allows clear cable paths to servers and switches. Because the PDU is UL and cUL listed, facilities teams can deploy it with confidence that it meets widely accepted electrical and safety standards.

Admins working in small edge closets, midsize server rooms, or large colocation cages will appreciate the straightforward design. There are no network interfaces or complex configuration steps to manage; you simply bolt it in, plug it up, and power on. The result is reliable distribution for critical gear in environments such as data centers, research labs, broadcast studios, and production test benches.
