Power Distribution Unit APC Easy Rack PDU Metered Outlet 1‑Phase 7.4kW 230V 32A (20x C13, 4x C19) IEC60309 inlet

APC Easy Rack PDU Metered Outlet is a 0U rack-mounted power distribution unit for single-phase 230 V installations. Rated at 32 A and up to 7.4 kW, it provides 24 AC outlets (20 × IEC C13 and 4 × IEC C19) with an IEC 60309 2P+E 32 A inlet. The unit includes a Network Management Card (NMC3) for network access and integrates with EcoStruxure IT for remote monitoring, while environmental monitoring ports allow external temperature and humidity sensors to be connected (sensor sold separately). The PDU is built with an ultra-lightweight aluminium housing, a new display module, and supports vertical zero-U mounting to save rack space.

Advantages

The PDU offers per-outlet metering with 1% accuracy for detailed energy analysis and improved capacity planning. Networked management via Web, SNMP and CLI plus enhanced cybersecurity controls on the NMC3 enable secure remote configuration and monitoring. The unit supports daisy-chaining up to four PDUs on a single IP address to reduce networking costs and includes environmental monitoring capability for proactive infrastructure management.

Suitable for

• Data centre server racks requiring monitored, high-density AC power distribution
• IT equipment racks where per-outlet energy measurement is needed for capacity planning
• Environments needing vertical 0U mounting to preserve rack space
• Setups that integrate with EcoStruxure IT or use SNMP/Web/CLI management

When it may not be suitable

This PDU is designed for single-phase 230 V systems up to 7.4 kW and is not suitable for three-phase installations or applications requiring higher current or power capacity. If on-board environmental sensors are required, note that the external temperature/humidity sensor is sold separately.

Key specifications

• Input: IEC 60309 2P+E 32 A inlet
• Output: 24 AC outlets — 20 × IEC C13 and 4 × IEC C19
• Rated voltage and phase: Single-phase 230 V
• Maximum power: Up to 7.4 kW (32 A)
• Metering accuracy: 1%
• Management: Network Management Card (NMC3) with Web, SNMP and CLI access
• Mounting: Vertical 0U rack mounting
• Environmental monitoring: External sensor ports for temperature/humidity (sensor sold separately)
• Operating temperature: -5°C to +50°C
• Housing: Ultra-lightweight aluminium
• Daisy-chain: Up to 4 PDUs on a single IP address
• Display: Integrated display module

How to use

Install the PDU vertically in a rack or enclosure using the 0U mounting brackets so it occupies no rack units. Connect mains power to the IEC 60309 32 A inlet and plug IT devices into the C13 and C19 outlets. Configure network settings and security on the NMC3 via the web interface, SNMP or CLI, and register the unit with EcoStruxure IT if remote monitoring is required. Attach optional external temperature/humidity sensors to the monitoring ports as needed. For multi-PDU setups, use the daisy-chain feature to connect up to four PDUs to one IP address to simplify network management.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm single-phase 230 V supply and maximum current (32 A) are compatible with your installation
• Check whether the number and type of outlets (20 × C13, 4 × C19) meet your equipment requirements
• Determine if external environmental sensors are needed (sold separately)
• Plan rack placement to take advantage of 0U vertical mounting
• Ensure integration with your network monitoring tools and EcoStruxure IT if required

Recommendations

For reliable operation, install the PDU in a rack with adequate airflow, configure secure credentials and network settings on the NMC3, and periodically verify per-outlet measurements to support capacity planning and power management.
