APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced, Metered, 3Phase, 11kW 400V 16A or 11.5kW 415V 20A, 42 Outlets, IEC309

The APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced is a metered three-phase power distribution unit designed for server and networking racks. It supports up to 11 kW at 400 V (11.5 kW at 415 V) and provides 42 AC outlets in a compact 2.2U form factor with color-coded and labeled outlets for simplified deployment and load identification.

Advantages

This PDU offers per-unit power metering accessible via local display and remote network access, 1% metering accuracy for reliable billing and capacity planning, and an alternating-phase outlet layout that improves cord management and load balancing. It includes a hot-swappable Network Management Card (NMC) to maintain network connectivity during NMC replacement, dual Ethernet ports (Gigabit + 10/100) for standardised connectivity and cascading, and two environmental sensor ports for optional temperature and humidity monitoring. The unit is rated to operate at full load up to 60 °C and is UL and CE certified for global deployment.

Suitable for

• Data center rack power distribution for servers and network equipment
• Environments requiring accurate per-PDU metering and billing
• High-density rack deployments where outlet density and compact form factor are important

How to use

Mount the PDU in a compatible 2.2U rack space and connect the input to an appropriate three-phase 400/415 V supply with up to 16 A per phase as specified. Use the local display or the Network Management Card to configure metering, alerts, and network settings. Connect equipment to the color-coded combination outlets, observing breaker and phase labels to distribute load evenly. If needed, cascade PDUs using the secondary Ethernet port and enable Power Sharing through the network settings to maintain NMC functionality during AC loss. Install optional temperature and humidity sensors into the sensor ports for environmental monitoring.

Recommendations

For balanced loads and improved cord management, connect devices across the alternating-phase outlet groups and monitor per-PDU metering to avoid overloads; replace the Network Management Card only while the unit is powered to preserve device uptime.
