APC 1U Rack Mountable 100A Bypass Panel

Equip your data center or enterprise server room with a reliable, high-performance bypass solution designed to keep critical loads powered while maintenance occurs. The APC 1U Rack Mountable 100A Bypass Panel brings together rugged construction, industry-leading transfer reliability, and a compact 19-inch, 1U footprint that fits neatly into existing rack infrastructure. Built to support demanding power environments, this bypass panel provides a safe, controlled transfer path that minimizes downtime and protects essential equipment during UPS servicing, battery replacement, or load transfers. With a 100A current rating and a wrap-around transfer design, it delivers swift, seamless switching between power sources, helping you maintain uptime without compromising safety or efficiency.

  • Enhances uptime with a dedicated bypass path that isolates the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for maintenance while continuing to feed critical devices. This means your servers, storage arrays, and network gear stay online even when routine service is required.
  • Space-saving 1U rack height in a standard 19-inch enclosure ensures you maximize rack density. The compact form factor makes it easy to integrate into existing racks, consolidating power management hardware without crowding adjacent equipment.
  • High current handling capability with a 100A rating provides robust support for power-hungry IT gear. The design accommodates demanding loads while maintaining clean, reliable power transfer and minimizing voltage drop during transfers.
  • Wrap-around, quick transfer rate bypass design allows rapid switching between power paths. This reduces the window of uncertainty during transfers, contributing to improved system availability and simplified maintenance workflows.
  • Rugged, field-proven construction tailored for data centers, server rooms, and enterprise IT spaces. The panel is designed to endure continuous operation in mission-critical environments and align with APC power protection standards for consistent performance.

How to install APC 1U Rack Mountable 100A Bypass Panel

  • Plan the installation by identifying a suitable location in a standard 19-inch rack with adequate ventilation and clearance for cables and service access.
  • Power down and de-energize the UPS and connected loads according to site safety procedures before beginning installation.
  • Remove any rear or side panels as required and align the 1U bypass panel with the rack rails. Use the included mounting hardware to secure the panel firmly to the rack, ensuring it remains level and stable under load.
  • Connect input and output power cables following the wiring diagram provided in the user manual. Ensure all connections are tight, properly labeled, and routed to minimize tension, bending, or interference with airflow.
  • Verify safety interlocks, if present, and confirm that transfer contacts align with the intended source and load paths. Replace any access panels and restore equipment to a powered state only after all wiring checks are complete.
  • Perform a controlled transfer test according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to confirm proper operation of the bypass path and transfer speed. Document test results and update maintenance logs for ongoing reliability tracking.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is a bypass panel and why do I need one? Answer: A bypass panel creates a controlled path that allows you to service or maintain a UPS or power distribution system without interrupting the power feed to critical equipment. It ensures uptime while enabling safe, simple maintenance and rapid recovery.
  • What does 1U rack-mountable mean? Answer: It means the panel occupies one rack unit (1U) of height in a standard 19-inch rack, allowing efficient use of rack space and easy integration with other rack-mounted devices.
  • Is a 100A rating suitable for typical data center equipment? Answer: A 100A rating is designed to support high-load IT environments. Compatibility depends on your UPS, distribution equipment, and connected loads. Always verify with your power infrastructure specifications to ensure proper sizing.
  • How does wrap-around bypass differ from a traditional bypass? Answer: A wrap-around bypass path is designed to provide a quick, seamless transfer between power sources, reducing transfer time and minimizing the risk of interruption to critical loads during maintenance or switching.
  • Can I use this bypass panel with UPS brands other than APC? Answer: This panel is designed to integrate with APC power protection solutions. For compatibility with other brands, consult the product documentation or a qualified electrical professional to assess cross-brand integration options.
