APC Rack PDU. Basic. 1U. 16A. 208/230V. (12)C13
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APC NetShelter Basic Rack PDU, 1U, 1 Phase, 3.7kW 230V 16A, (12) C13 Outlets, C20 Cord (AP9565) - 2 Years Local Warranty
Twelve C13 Outlets in One Rack Unit
The APC NetShelter Basic Rack PDU AP9565 puts twelve IEC C13 outlets into a single 1U chassis - enough to power a full cabinet of switches, routers, appliances and 1U servers from one strip. Every outlet is C13, so if your equipment is all C14-corded (and most rack equipment is), this is the straightforward, economical choice.
3.7 kW at Singapore's 230 V Mains
Schneider rates the AP9565 at 3.7 kW on a 230 V 16 A supply, or 3.3 kW at 208 V. On Singapore's 230 V, 50 Hz network that is the full 3.7 kW - ample for a comms cabinet or a lightly loaded server rack.
Fed by a C20 Cord, Not a Locking Twist Plug
The input is an IEC 60320 C20 inlet on a 2.5 m cord - Schneider's own product name ends "C20 cord". An L6-20P twist-lock plug is sometimes quoted for this part in third-party data; that belongs to the US-market siblings of this PDU, not to this part number.
Shallow, Light and Easy to Retrofit
At 44 x 447 x 57 mm and 2.05 kg the AP9565 slides into any 19-inch rack, including shallow wall-mount comms cabinets where a 1.6 m 0U strip simply will not fit. Rack mounting brackets and the installation guide are in the box. There is no meter, display or network port - this is a Basic PDU, and the simplicity is the point.

Compatibility & Load Planning
What you can plug into it. Twelve IEC C13 outlets, each taking a standard C14 equipment cord. That covers switches, routers, firewalls, NAS and SAN heads, KVMs and the great majority of 1U and 2U servers. There are no C19 outlets on this model - if anything in your rack has a 16 A C20 inlet, you need the AP9559 (ten C13 plus two C19) or a larger model instead. Do not adapt a 16 A device down onto a 10 A C13 outlet.
Load planning. 16 A giving 3.7 kW at 230 V. Twelve outlets is a generous count for that capacity, so current, not sockets, is your limit - total the nameplate figures before you commit, and leave room for the inrush when a full cabinet powers up together. With no meter on board, measure upstream at the UPS if you want ongoing visibility.
Rack fit. 1U, 447 mm wide, 57 mm deep, 2.05 kg. Shallow enough for wall-mount and short comms cabinets and light enough to retrofit into a rack that is already cabled. Rack mounting brackets are supplied; there is no toolless mounting kit, which is a 0U accessory.
Feeding it. An IEC C20 inlet with a 2.5 m cord supplied - Schneider's own product name for this part ends "C20 cord", so there is nothing extra to buy on the input side. A 16 A circuit or a 16 A outlet on a UPS is the sensible upstream arrangement. This model does not use an L6-20P twist-lock plug - that belongs to the US-market variants of this PDU, not to this part number.
Management and monitoring. None on this model. No meter, no LCD, no network port, no outlet switching and no surge protection. Schneider publishes none of those fields for the AP9565. For remote monitoring choose a metered model such as the AP8858; for remote reboot, the switched AP7921B.

Locking Output Cords (Sold Separately)
These are the cords that run from this unit's C13 outlets to your equipment's C14 inlets. The locking design stops a cord being nudged out of its outlet while you work in the rack - a common and entirely avoidable cause of an unplanned reboot. Note that this is an output cord kit, not this unit's supply cord - if you also need an input cord, tell us and we will quote the right type for this model.

Frequently Asked Questions — APC AP9565
Does the AP9565 use an L6-20P plug?
No. The input is an IEC 60320 C20 inlet on a 2.5 m cord - Schneider's own product name for this part ends "C20 cord", and both current data sheets say the same. L6-20P and L6-30P twist-lock inputs belong to the US-market siblings in this family, and are sometimes quoted against this part number in error.
How much load can it carry?
16 A - 3.7 kW on a 230 V Singapore supply, or 3.3 kW at 208 V. Twelve outlets share that single 16 A budget, so add up your equipment's nameplate current rather than counting sockets.
Are there any C19 outlets?
No - all twelve outlets are C13. If you have a device with a 16 A C20 inlet, this is the wrong model: the AP9559 is the same 1U chassis with ten C13 and two C19 outlets, and the larger 0U models offer more.
Does it have surge protection?
No. No Schneider document for the AP9565 contains a surge rating, joule figure or clamping specification. Descriptions claiming "basic surge protection" for this part are not supported by Schneider. Surge protection is a UPS function.
Can I see how much power the rack is drawing?
Not from this PDU - it is a Basic model with no meter and no network port. If per-rack visibility matters, the metered AP8858 adds unit-level metering and a built-in network port; the switched AP7921B adds remote per-outlet control on top.
Will it fit a wall-mount comms cabinet?
Yes - 1U high and only 57 mm deep, so it fits shallow wall-mount enclosures where a 0U strip cannot. That is the practical reason most Singapore SME sites choose a 1U PDU over a 0U one.
Does it come with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?
Yes. Every APC NetShelter Basic Rack PDU AP9565 sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; APC backs the AP9565 with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
