APC by Schneider Electric Rack PDU, Metered, 1U, 15A, 100/120V, (8) 5-15

The APC by Schneider Electric Rack PDU is a compact, high-performance power distribution solution built for today’s data centers, server rooms, and enterprise IT environments. This metered 1U PDU delivers more than just clean, distributed power; it provides precise visibility into power usage, enabling proactive capacity planning, smarter energy management, and faster fault detection. With eight widely compatible outlets and a design engineered for easy installation in standard 19-inch racks, this unit helps you maximize uptime while minimizing energy waste.

  • Real-time load monitoring for proactive capacity planning The metered design delivers ongoing visibility into the power draw of all connected devices. IT teams can track how much juice is flowing to racks, identify hotspots, and forecast when a circuit or panel will approach its limit. This up-to-the-second insight reduces the risk of overloads, simplifies expansion planning, and supports more accurate budgeting for electricity and cooling needs.
  • Space-efficient 1U form factor for dense, scalable deployments Designed to fit into standard 19-inch server racks, this APC PDU maximizes vertical space while keeping cables organized and airflow unobstructed. The 1U height is ideal for data centers prioritizing density, allowing you to consolidate power distribution without sacrificing access to critical equipment or maintenance workflows.
  • Eight robust outlets for flexible device connections With (8) 5-15 outlets, this PDU accommodates a broad range of IT gear—from servers and storage to switches and HVAC controllers. The outlets are arranged to support clean cable routing and reduce frustration during changes or expansions, helping you keep equipment tidy and accessible for service or replacement.
  • 100/120V input at 15A for broad compatibility with IT power systems This PDU is built to work with common data center power layouts, giving you reliable distribution in environments that rely on 100 to 120-volt circuits. The 15A rating provides ample headroom for typical rack populations while maintaining a safe, balanced electrical load across circuits.
  • Designed for reliability and seamless integration with data-center monitoring The metered PDU is engineered to withstand demanding IT environments, with solid construction and front-facing access that supports quick inspections and maintenance. It also integrates smoothly with monitoring and DCIM workflows, enabling alerts and data collection that feed your operational analytics and proactive maintenance programs.

How to install APC by Schneider Electric Rack PDU

  • Plan the installation by selecting a suitable location in your 19-inch rack that allows for proper airflow and easy access to the outlets and the input power cord.
  • Power down and unplug all equipment that will connect to the PDU to minimize risk during installation.
  • Mount the PDU in the rack using the appropriate screws, ensuring it is securely fastened to support the weight of connected devices and cables.
  • Connect the PDU’s input power cord to a properly rated circuit that matches the 100–120V, 15A specifications. Verify that the circuit can handle the anticipated load, including any future growth.
  • Connect IT devices to the eight 5-15 outlets, grouping cables to promote clean cable management and unobstructed airflow.
  • Power on the PDU and verify that the real-time load readings register on the unit’s display or monitoring interface. Label outlets clearly to simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.
  • If your environment uses monitoring software or a DCIM system, configure the PDU’s metering data to feed alerts and usage reports. Establish alert thresholds to trigger proactive maintenance when loads approach circuit limits.
