APC NetShelter Switched Rack PDU, 0U, 5.0kW, 200V and 208V, 30A, 21 C13/C15 and 3 C19/C21 outlets

APC NetShelter Switched 0U Rack PDU delivers controlled power distribution for data centres and IT cabinets. This 0U, single‑phase PDU supports up to 5.0 kW at 200–208 V with a 30 A input (NEMA L6‑30P) and provides 24 AC outlets: 21 hybrid C13/C15 outlets and 3 hybrid C19/C21 outlets. The unit includes a Network Management Card for remote monitoring and control, an interactive LCD for local measurements, a temperature/humidity sensor port and a USB port for local firmware updates. With compact 0U mounting and dimensions of 55×46×1829 mm, the PDU installs vertically without occupying usable rack units.

Advantages

The switched design enables outlet‑level on/off control and remote switching for power cycling, delayed power sequencing and outlet use management. Hybrid outlets accept standard C14/C20 cords and are rated to support higher temperature power cords, allowing compatibility with present and future server and network equipment. Integrated network management and secure interfaces support Web, SNMP and CLI access and simplify centralized monitoring and control. The PDU supports daisy‑chaining up to 32 units on a single IP address to reduce network complexity.

Suitable for

• Rack power distribution in server rooms and data centres
• Remote power cycling and management of individual servers and network devices
• Environments requiring high‑density outlet provisioning and vertical 0U mounting
• Integrations with monitoring platforms such as EcoStruxure IT

How to use

Install the PDU vertically in a compatible rack using available 0U mounting points; connect the NEMA L6‑30P input plug to a properly rated branch circuit. Configure the Network Management Card via the Web interface, SNMP or CLI to assign IP addressing and security credentials. Use the color LCD for local measurements and status checks. Control individual outlets from the management interface for remote power on/off, sequencing or scheduled operations. Attach the temperature/humidity sensor where environmental monitoring is required and update firmware via the USB port as needed.

Recommendations

Verify rack airflow and device thermal ratings when populating high‑temperature equipment. Use compatible IEC power cords and locking cords where outlet locking is required. When daisy‑chaining multiple PDUs, plan IP addressing and network security settings to maintain visibility and control. Follow local electrical codes and work with qualified electricians for installation and service.
