APC NetShelter Switched Rack PDU: 1U, 1PH, 3.7kW/3.3kW Power Distribution with 8 C13 Outlets

The APC NetShelter Switched Rack PDU is a compact, high-efficiency power distribution solution designed for demanding data center environments. Engineered to fit in a standard 19-inch rack, this 1U, single-phase PDU provides reliable power to critical IT devices while offering sophisticated remote management capabilities. With eight C13 outlets and a C20 input cord, it delivers flexible voltage options for diverse workloads and ensures that your racks stay organized, energized, and under control. Whether you are deploying dense server blades, network switches, storage nodes, or patch panels, this switched rack PDU helps maximize uptime and simplify power provisioning in modern data centers.

• Efficient, scalable power distribution: Organize and distribute power to a mix of devices from a single unit. The eight C13 outlets give you ample, precise reach to power a suite of servers, switches, routers, and other critical gear, enabling neat cabling, easier maintenance, and cleaner rack layouts.
• Flexible voltage and current options: Designed for versatile electrical environments, this PDU supports 1PH operation at 230V up to 16A (delivering up to 3.7kW) or 208V configurations up to 16A (supporting up to 3.3kW). This flexibility makes it suitable for data centers, enterprise closets, and edge deployments across different regions and power systems.
• Compact 1U footprint for dense deployments: At only 1U in height, the PDU maximizes rack density and preserves valuable vertical space in crowded data centers. It integrates seamlessly with APC NetShelter enclosures and other standard 19-inch racks, helping you scale infrastructure without sacrificing room for cooling or airflow management.
• Robust remote network management: The PDU is built with network management capabilities that enable configuration, monitoring, and control from a remote location. Through standard management interfaces, IT staff can monitor real-time power usage, implement outlet-level policies, set alerts, and automate responses—reducing on-site visits and improving operational efficiency.
• Reliable design for continuous uptime: Engineered to endure the rigors of data-center environments, the APC NetShelter Switched Rack PDU emphasizes durability and safety. Its robust construction and precise electrical design help ensure consistent power delivery to critical devices, supporting service-level objectives and minimizing the risk of unexpected downtime.

how to install APC NetShelter Switched Rack PDU

• Identify a suitable mounting location in a standard 19-inch rack, ensuring there is adequate clearance for airflow and cable management.
• Mount the PDU in a 1U space using the appropriate screws and rack rails, aligning the unit securely with the rack’s front and rear brackets to prevent vibration or movement.
• Connect the C20 input cord to a compatible power source per your facility’s electrical design. Ensure the circuit breaker is rated to handle the PDU’s maximum input current (up to 16A for 230V or 208V configurations).
• Route power cables to the eight C13 outlets, organizing cables for optimal airflow and minimal strain on connectors. Label critical devices to simplify future management and troubleshooting.
• Configure remote management settings: connect the PDU to your management network, assign an IP address (static or via DHCP as supported), and configure SNMP, web-based, or other supported management interfaces. Set up alerts for overcurrent, thermal events, and other power-related conditions to maintain visibility and proactive response.
