APC NetShelter Basic Rack PDU AP7553, Zero U, 32A 230V 7.4kVA, 20x C13 + 4x C19 Outlets, IEC 60309 32A Plug, 3m Cord
APC NetShelter Basic Rack PDU AP7553 — 32 A, 24 Outlets, Zero U
The APC NetShelter Basic Rack PDU AP7553 is a full-height Zero U power distribution unit rated 32 A at 230 V (7400 VA), with 24 outlets (20x C13 and 4x C19) and a 3 m cord ending in an IEC 60309 32A 2P+E industrial plug — built for dense server racks that need more than a 16 A feed.
It is a basic PDU without metering, network or switching, which keeps it simple and reliable. The 32 A rating lets one PDU carry a well-filled rack of servers and storage; mounted vertically in the 0U channel, it leaves every rack unit free for equipment.

What It Means in Practice
- One PDU can feed a high-density rack up to 7.4 kVA — far more than a 16 A model.
- Typical use: data-centre or server-room racks with a dedicated 32 A supply per rack.
- For redundancy, install two PDUs on separate 32 A circuits and connect dual-PSU servers to both.
- Equipment needs IEC C14/C20 cords.
What Will Not Work
- It will not plug into a 16 A or Schuko socket.
- It has no metering, network monitoring or outlet switching.
- It does not fit short racks or racks without a 0U channel.
- Circuit breakers on the outlet banks are not published — design the upstream protection accordingly.
