APC Power Distribution

                                                   Request Configuration or More Information                                           

Basic Rack PDU

Power distribution for rack-mount equipment 

Range: 1.4kW - 12.5kW, 15A - 50A, Horizontal or Vertical Mount

Rack-Mountable: Includes horizontal, vertical, and toolless-mount varieties. Puts power where it is needed most-in the racks near the equipment.
Single Input Power Source: Supply power from one branch whip to multiple pieces of equipment, conveniently powering rack-mount equipment. Saves time and money during installation by using one branch whip and standard connections.
Wide Range of Input and Output Connections: Includes a variety of input and output connections to distribute 120V, 280V, or 230V power to multiple outlets. Allow users to adapt to varying power requirements. Units can bring up to 14.4kW using a single branch whip.
Low Cost Power Distribution: Provides a number of outlets to bring power to rack eqipment at an affordable price.

Metered Rack PDU

Power distribution units that can monitor the aggregate power consumption to connected equipment

Range: 1.4kW - 14.4kW, 15A - 50A, Horizontal or Vertical Mount

Local and Web-based Monitoring: Status available to customers both in the data center and remotely.
Local Current Monitoring Display:  Helps installers avoid overloaded curcuits by providing a visible warning when the current draw is close to the maximum amperage draw of the strip.
Load Indicator LED: Indicates overload and warning conditions based on the user-defined alarm thresholds. Alerts users of potential overloaded circuits.
Alarm Thresholds: Define alarm thresholds in order to avoid overloaded circuits. Network and visual alarms inform the user of possible problems.
Wide Range of Input and Output Connections: Includes a variety of input and output connections to distribute 120V, 208V, or 230V power to multiple outlets. Allows users to adapt to varying power requirements. APC offers units that bring up to 14.4kW using a single branch whip.

Switched Rack PDU

Power distribution that remotely controls power to individual outlets and monitors the aggregate power consumption

Range: 1.4kW - 12.5kW, 15A - 50A, Horizontal or Vertical Mount

Remote Management Capabilities: Full-featured network management interfaces that provide standards-based management via Web, SNMP, and Telnet. Access, configure, and manage units from remote locations. Upgrade the firmware via network download to installed units for future product enhancements.
Remote Individual Outlet Control: Users can turn outlets off that are not in use (prevent overloads) or recycle power to locked-up equipment (minimize costly downtime and avoid travel time to equipment).
Power Delays: Users can configure the sequence in which power is turned on or off for each outlet to avoid in-rushes at start-up. Sequencing also allows users to predetermine which piece of equipment is turned on first so other equipment dependant on that unit will function properly.
Alarm Thresholds: Define alarm thresholds in order to avoid overloaded circuits. Network and visual alarms inform the user of the possible problems.
Local Current Monitoring Display: The aggregate current draw per power distribution unit is displayed on the unit via a digital display. The local digital display helps installers avoid overloaded circuits by providing a visible warning when the current draw is close to the maximum amperage draw of the strip.
