Rack PDU APC NetShelter Advanced Switched 3-Phase 43.5 kW (400V 63A) or 34.6 kW (415V 60A), 42 outlets, IEC 60309 input

APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced is a switched rack power distribution unit designed for reliable power delivery and visibility in server and network racks. It supports high-density deployments with 42 outlets in a 0U form factor and 4-in-1 combination IEC outlets (C13, C19, C15, C21) for flexible cabling. The unit offers PDU-level metering with 1% accuracy, local color LCD display and remote monitoring via Gigabit Ethernet. Dual network ports support cascading and network redundancy, and the Live Swap Network Management Card can be replaced without powering down connected equipment. The PDU is rated for extended operating temperatures up to 60°C and is certified for global deployments.

Advantages

Provides high outlet density and flexible outlet compatibility for varying cord types, enabling efficient use of rack space. Accurate power metering (1%) supports billing, capacity planning and threshold alarms. Alternating phase outlet grouping and color-coded outlets simplify load balancing and cable management. Dual ethernet ports and Power Sharing allow continued NMC operation if a PDU loses AC power, while Live Swap NMC reduces downtime during maintenance. Rated operation up to 60°C and global certifications (UL/CE/CSA) allow deployment in diverse data center environments.

Suitable for

• High-density server and network rack deployments
• Data centers requiring accurate power metering and billing
• Environments needing remote outlet switching and monitoring
• Racks using mixed IEC power cords and combination outlets
• Installations requiring network redundancy or PDU cascading

How to use

Mount the PDU vertically in the rack (0U) and connect the appropriate IEC 60309 input plug to your power source. Attach equipment power cords into the 4-in-1 combination outlets according to device inlet type. Use the local color LCD for immediate power readings and status, or connect the PDU to your network via the gigabit Ethernet port for remote monitoring, outlet switching and metering. To cascade PDUs, use the secondary Ethernet port as instructed by the installation guide. Replace the Network Management Card while keeping the PDU and connected equipment powered, if needed, using the Live Swap feature following APC service instructions.

Usage recommendations

Verify input voltage and current capacity before installation, plan outlet assignments using the alternating phase groups to balance loads, and connect environmental sensors where temperature and humidity monitoring is required. Use manufacturer-approved power cords and follow local electrical codes. For billing or capacity planning, rely on the PDU’s 1% metering accuracy and integrate with your monitoring software via the NMC.
