PDU APC NetShelter Rack Advanced 48 AC-pistorasiaa 0U musta

The APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced is a 0U rack-mounted power distribution unit with 48 AC outlets in a slim black chassis and a 1.8 m cable. Designed for data center and rack power distribution, it provides switched, metered outlet control and detailed monitoring of current, voltage, power, temperature and humidity. The PDU supports mixed outlet types via 4‑in‑1 combination sockets and includes dual network ports, an LCD display and environmental sensor inputs for integrated infrastructure visibility.

Advantages

This NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced offers high outlet density in a single-width form factor, allowing many devices to be powered from one PDU while saving rack space. Switched outlets and outlet-level metering provide remote on/off control and accurate (1%) power measurement for capacity planning, billing and alarm thresholds. The alternating-phase outlet layout and color coding simplify power cord routing and load balancing on three-phase models. Additional features such as Gigabit ethernet, a replaceable Network Management Card, power-sharing between cascaded PDUs and support for environmental sensors increase operational resilience and monitoring capabilities.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and network cabinets in data centers
• Environments that require outlet-level switching and metering for billing or capacity tracking
• Racks where remote management, environmental monitoring and redundancy are needed

When it may not be suitable

It may not be appropriate for very small installations or non-rack applications where a full-featured, high-density PDU is not required. Also, specific deployments that require different cable lengths, plug types or form factors may need a different model or a configure-to-order option.

Key specifications

• Power capacity: up to 11.5 kW (3-phase, 415 V, 20 A per the model family)
• Outlets: 48 combination outlets (4-in-1: C13/C19 and high-temperature C15/C21 compatibility)
• Form factor: 0U, single-width, 2.2"-style slim chassis for vertical rack mounting
• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Network: Gigabit ethernet plus second 10/100 port for cascading or redundancy
• Metering accuracy: 1% (IEC class 1 equivalent)
• Operating temperature: rated to 60°C (140°F) at full load
• Environmental inputs: two sensor ports for optional temperature, humidity or leak sensors
• Display: onboard color LCD for local status and control

How to use

Mount the PDU vertically in the rear accessory channel of a compatible rack using pre-installed pegs or reposition them to change outlet orientation. Connect the PDU to a suitable power source matching the model's input (3-phase 415 V, 20 A) and plug IT equipment into the combination outlets. Use the onboard LCD or the Network Management Card over the network to view metering data, switch outlets remotely, configure alarms and connect optional environmental sensors for integrated monitoring.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the PDU's input voltage, phase and current rating match your rack power feed and breaker configuration
• Confirm the 48 combination outlets meet your device plug types and that 4-in-1 sockets support your high-temperature cord requirements
• Verify rack space and mounting orientation compatibility (0U vertical mounting, pegs repositionable)
• Decide if you need additional features such as specific cord length, plug type, or configure-to-order options

Recommendations

For best results, balance loads across phases using the alternating-phase outlet groups, use outlet-level metering for capacity planning and enable network cascading to preserve management access during single-PDU power events. Regularly update and maintain the Network Management Card and monitor environmental sensors to ensure continuous availability.
