APC AP9626

Overview

The APC AP9626 is a 2U rack-mount step-down transformer designed to convert 208-volt input power to a standard 120-volt output. It enables you to power low-voltage equipment such as servers, storage arrays, or network switches within racks already wired for 208 volts, eliminating the need for separate circuits. With a capacity of 5000 VA and support for up to 24 amps of output current, this transformer efficiently distributes power through twelve NEMA 5-20R outlets, making it a practical solution for data centers, network closets, and branch office IT setups.

Key features

• Steps down 208 V input to 120 V output, allowing integration of diverse equipment voltages in the same rack
• Supports a 5000 VA load capacity to power multiple devices simultaneously without additional power strips
• Includes twelve NEMA 5-20R outlets for convenient and organized power distribution within a rack
• Equipped with a single NEMA L6-30P input plug to simplify wiring and installation
• Compact 2U rack design with included mounting brackets for quick and secure installation in standard racks
• Delivers approximately 90 percent efficiency at full load, reducing heat generation and energy costs in dense environments
• Meets UL 1778 and CSA safety standards to ensure reliable protection for critical equipment

Connectivity and compatibility

This transformer is designed to fit seamlessly into standard 19-inch racks, making it compatible with most server cabinets and network enclosures. The twelve NEMA 5-20R outlets provide ample connections for a full rack of equipment requiring 120 V power, while the NEMA L6-30P input plug ensures compatibility with common 208 V power feeds found in commercial and data center environments.

Installation and setup

The AP9626 comes with mounting brackets that allow for straightforward installation into any standard rack, saving time during deployment. Its single input plug reduces wiring complexity, and the 2U form factor helps conserve valuable rack space. This makes it an efficient choice for upgrading existing infrastructure or expanding IT setups without extensive electrical modifications.

Ideal uses and environments

This step-down transformer is well suited for data centers, branch offices, laboratories, and edge computing sites where equipment with different voltage requirements must coexist. It supports IT professionals who need to integrate 120 V devices into racks powered by 208 V feeds, providing a reliable and efficient power conversion solution that minimizes downtime and installation costs.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
