Switched Rack PDU

Giving you the control of your rack IT equipment

APC Switched Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) place rack equipment power control in the hands of the IT Manager. Remote outlet level controls allow power on/off functionality for power recycling to reboot locked-up equipment and to avoid unauthorized use of individual outlets. Power sequencing delays allow users to define the order in which to power up or down attached equipment. Avoid circuit overload during power recovery and extend uptime of critical equipment by prioritizing the load shedding. Current metering provides real-time remote monitoring of connected loads. User-defined alarms warn of potential circuit overloads before critical IT failures occur. Users can access, configure, and control Switched rack PDUs through secure Web, SNMP, or Telnet Interfaces and is complimented by APC Centralized Management platforms using InfraStruXure Manager, InfraStruXure Central, Capacity Manager and Change Manager.

Metered Rack PDU

Keeping your eye open for unplanned overloads

APC Metered Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) provide advanced warning to protect against unplanned power overloads. User-defined alarm thresholds mitigate risk with real-time local and remote alerts of potential unexpected circuit overloads to your mission critical equipment. Metered rack PDUs provides power utilization trends allowing Data Center Managers to make informed decisions on right sizing IT environments to lower total cost of ownership. Users can access and configure Metered rack PDUs through secure Web, SNMP, or Telnet Interfaces and is complimented by APC Centralized Management platforms using InfraStruXure Manager, InfraStruXure Central, Capacity Manager and Change Manager.

Basic Rack PDU

Best value for simple power distribution

APC Basic Rack PDUs provide reliable power distribution via a single input with multiple output receptacles and distributes power from low amperage single phase circuits to higher-power 3-phase solutions.

Rack Automatic Transfer Switch

The only manageable transfer switch in 1U

APC Rack Automatic Transfer Switches (rack ATS) provide reliable, redundant power to single-corded equipment. The rack ATS has dual input power cords supplying power to the connected load. If the primary power source becomes unavailable, the rack ATS will seamlessly source power from the secondary source without interrupting critical loads. Networked units have built-in network connectivity, which allows for remote management via Web, SNMP, or Telnet interfaces.

Rack PDU Accessories

APC Rack PDU Accessories contain bracket kits specifically designed to mount many of the APC vertical Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) into third party racks or enclosures as well as a cord retention bracket to help retain power cord connection to the Rack PDUs. Specially designated SKUs in the Basic, Metered, and Switched Rack PDUs can utilize these bracket kits. See features list to see if your Rack PDU is compatible with these brackets. See model names for rack vendor compatibility.

InfrastruXure Power Distribution Units

Simplify installation at half the cost

Increase availability in your data center with real-time branch current monitoring and threshold settings for local and advanced, remote notification. The configure-to-order (CTO) process allows for factory installation and testing of breakers, branch circuit monitoring boards, load-test ports, and cut-to-size whips. The InfraStruXure® PDU can be deployed in environments without raised floors for reduced installation costs and increased agility. In addition, the ability to build an InfraStruXure PDU to your exact specifications increases speed of deployment and reliability, while lowering the total cost of ownership.

Power Cords

APC offers power cords (also known as jumper cords), which provide connector options to fulfill a variety of power requirements.

Use these power cords to connect your equipment to an APC Rack-Mount power distribution unit (PDU)/outlet strip, MasterSwitch product, Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), or UPS.

These power cords can also be used to connect your APC Rack-Mount (PDU)/Outlet Strip to a power source, such as an APC UPS, ATS, or separate branch circuit.
