Description

In data centers and server rooms, reliable power distribution is essential for uptime, performance, and operational efficiency. The APC NetShelter Basic Rack PDU delivers a robust, scalable solution for distributing power to equipment inside standard 19-inch racks. With a compact 0U footprint, a high total power rating, and a generous 10-foot input cord, this PDU is designed to simplify power management while fitting seamlessly into APC NetShelter enclosures or other compatible rack systems. It helps IT teams streamline cabling, optimize airflow, and maintain consistent power delivery to servers, storage devices, network gear, and other devices that form the backbone of modern IT infrastructure.

  • High power capacity at 120V: The NetShelter Basic Rack PDU is rated for up to 5.7 kW, enabling a diverse mix of devices to run from a single distribution point. This capacity supports multiple servers, switches, storage modules, and peripheral equipment without overloading individual outlets. By consolidating power distribution, you reduce clutter, simplify load balancing, and promote reliable uptime across your rack ecosystem. The result is a cleaner power topology, easier thermal management, and fewer power-related bottlenecks during peak operation or expansion projects.
  • 42 NEMA 5-20 outlets for flexible connectivity: With a substantial outlet count, this PDU accommodates a wide range of devices and configurations. The 42 NEMA 5-20 outlets enable you to plug in numerous servers, storage controllers, blades, and network gear directly, reducing the need for daisy-chained power strips and additional adapters. Centralized distribution improves cable organization and makes it easier to label circuits for quick maintenance, audit trails, and future upgrades. This level of outlet density is ideal for dense rack deployments, multi-node servers, and environments where space efficiency and neat cabling are paramount.
  • Long power cord for flexible deployment: The 10-foot input cord provides generous slack to position the PDU where it makes the most sense for your rack layout. This flexibility reduces the need for extension cords or awkward cabling routes, supports varied installation scenarios, and makes it easier to accommodate adjacent enclosures or multi-rack configurations. Whether you’re routing power from a wall outlet, a UPS, or a dedicated circuit, the extended cord length helps you achieve clean, efficient, and scalable power distribution with minimal compromise on organization or accessibility.
  • 0U rack-mount design saves precious rack space: The 0U form factor means the PDU occupies no vertical rack space, mounting flush against the rails and leaving maximum room for servers and other hardware. In high-density deployments, every inch counts, and a 0U PDU preserves valuable front-to-back space for airflow and cooling. This design also simplifies cable routing, reduces the likelihood of blocked vents, and makes routine maintenance easier since technicians can access the PDU without removing other equipment or occupying additional rack units.
  • Green Premium compliant for environmental transparency: This PDU carries the Green Premium label, reflecting adherence to contemporary environmental standards and providing transparency into its environmental impact. For data centers pursuing sustainability goals, responsible procurement, and compliance reporting, Green Premium helps demonstrate due diligence in material selection, energy efficiency, and end-of-life considerations. Choosing a Green Premium PDU supports corporate social responsibility programs and can streamline documentation for audits, certifications, and green initiatives.
