Apc Netshelter Rack Pdu Advanced Switched Metered Outlet 5 0Kw 1 Phase 208V 30A 40 Outlets

The APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced Switched Metered Outlet is a high‑density, 40‑outlet power distribution unit designed to protect, manage, and optimize power delivery for mission‑critical IT gear. Built to live in data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments, this rugged, rack‑mount PDU provides precise power metering at both the outlet and the PDU level, remote control of individual outlets, and a compact footprint that maximizes space in NetShelter enclosures. With a 5.0 kW capacity on a 208V, 1‑phase, 30A feed, it delivers scalable, reliable power to servers, storage arrays, switches, and other critical devices, helping you drive uptime, improve energy efficiency, and simplify cabling in dense racks. Designed to integrate seamlessly with APC NetShelter racks, it combines robust construction with intelligent power management features that IT teams rely on every day.

• Remote switched outlets for power control: Turn individual outlets on or off remotely to reset devices, apply maintenance windows, or enforce power‑cycling policies without needing direct server access. This capability minimizes downtime, speeds troubleshooting, and supports automated response workflows in data centers and edge sites.
• Outlet‑level and PDU‑level metering: Real‑time and historical energy data at both the outlet and overall PDU level provide deep visibility into power usage, peak demand, and potential overload conditions. Use these insights for capacity planning, workload optimization, and cost‑saving strategies.
• 4‑in‑1 combination outlets: Flexible outlet configurations save rack space and reduce clutter by consolidating multiple power feeds into versatile outlets, accommodating a wide range of IT gear footprints while keeping a tidy, organized rack environment.
• Rugged rack‑mount design for NetShelter racks: Engineered to fit APC NetShelter enclosures, the PDU offers secure mounting, efficient cable management, and seamless compatibility with APC’s hardware ecosystem for streamlined deployment and maintenance.
• Overload protection and proactive notifications: Built‑in safety features and alerting help prevent power faults from cascading into downtime, with proactive monitoring that supports preventative maintenance and rapid fault isolation.

How to install APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced Switched Metered Outlet

• Prepare the rack and location: Ensure you have an APC NetShelter enclosure with available space for a 40‑outlet PDU. Power down peripheral devices as needed and plan cable routing to keep the rack clean and accessible.
• Mount the PDU in the rack: Use the supplied mounting brackets and screws to securely attach the PDU to the rack rails. Verify that the unit sits level and that there is ample clearance for cable management and airflow.
• Connect input power: Connect the PDU’s input power cord to a 208V, 30A power source. Confirm that the circuit supports the load you intend to place on the PDU and that the supply is protected by proper overcurrent protection.
• Attach devices and route cables: Plug IT devices into the 40 outlets, using the 4‑in‑1 outlets to optimize space. Route cables neatly using built‑in cable management features to minimize tangling and maximize airflow within the enclosure.
• Configure remote control and metering: Access the PDU’s management interface via the integrated network management capabilities or compatible APC software. Enable remote switched outlets, set up outlet and PDU metering thresholds, and configure alerts or maintenance policies as needed. Power up the rack and verify that all outlets report correctly and that remote switching functions operate as intended.
