The APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced Gen 2 is a high-performance, three-phase power distribution unit designed for modern data centers and high-density IT environments. This 0U rack-mount solution provides reliable power delivery with a capacity of 22.1kW at 400V or 17.3kW at 415V. Featuring 48 versatile outlets, it utilizes advanced 4-in-1 combination technology that supports C13, C15, C19, and C21 connections, ensuring maximum deployment flexibility for diverse server and networking hardware.

Advantages

This PDU offers exceptional operational efficiency through its switched and metered outlet design, allowing administrators to monitor power consumption with 1% accuracy and control individual outlets remotely. The integration of the NMC3 management platform provides enhanced cybersecurity, gigabit network connectivity, and compatibility with EcoStruxure IT software for centralized management. Its robust design supports operation in high-temperature environments up to 60°C, while the Live Swap feature ensures that the management card can be replaced without interrupting power to connected equipment, significantly reducing potential downtime.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and AI computing clusters
• Data centers requiring remote power cycling and monitoring
• Environments with mixed power requirements for various IT hardware
• Infrastructure needing precise power usage tracking for billing or capacity planning

When it may not be suitable

This unit is designed for professional three-phase power environments and is not suitable for standard residential or office single-phase power outlets. It requires specific industrial-grade electrical infrastructure to function safely and effectively.

Key specifications

• Power capacity: 22.1kW at 400V or 17.3kW at 415V
• Outlet configuration: 48 total outlets (4-in-1 combo C13/C15/C19/C21)
• Management: NMC3 platform with 1Gb Ethernet port
• Form factor: 0U vertical rack mount
• Metering accuracy: 1%
• Operating temperature: Up to 60°C

How to use

The PDU is designed for vertical 0U installation within standard server racks. Once mounted, connect the input power cord to the appropriate three-phase power source. Connect your IT equipment to the desired outlets, ensuring the total load remains within the rated capacity. Access the management interface via the network port using a web browser, SNMP, or CLI to configure outlet switching, set power thresholds, and monitor real-time data. The unit supports cascading up to 32 PDUs for simplified management across larger rack rows.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your rack cabinet has sufficient vertical space for 0U mounting
• Ensure your facility power supply matches the 3-phase 400V/415V input requirements
• Check that your equipment power cords are compatible with the C13/C15/C19/C21 outlet types
• Confirm network availability for remote management and monitoring features

Usage recommendations: Regularly update the NMC3 firmware to ensure optimal security and performance. Utilize the environmental sensor ports to monitor rack temperature and humidity to prevent overheating in high-density deployments.
