APC NetShelter Metered 3 Phase 14.4kW 42 Outlets Rack Power Distribution Unit

The APC APDU10451ME is a metered power distribution unit designed to deliver reliable and efficient power management for server and networking racks. It provides 42 outlets in a narrow 2.2-inch width, making it a great choice when space is limited but high outlet density is needed. The outlets support multiple connector types including C13, C15, C19, and C21, offering flexibility to power a variety of IT equipment.

This PDU includes both remote and local power metering, allowing you to monitor power usage accurately and avoid overloads before they happen. Its alternating phase layout helps balance the electrical load across phases, which simplifies power cord management and improves overall efficiency. The unit supports power sharing between cascaded PDUs and maintains network communication even if AC power is lost, ensuring continuous monitoring and control.

One of the standout features is the Live Swap Network Management Card, which can be replaced without interrupting power or network connectivity. This makes maintenance easier and reduces downtime in critical environments. The APC APDU10451ME is built to operate in temperatures up to 60°C (140°F), making it suitable for high-density data centers or other demanding settings. With 1% metering accuracy, it supports precise capacity planning and billing needs. Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and additional ports for cascading or network redundancy allow seamless integration into existing infrastructure.

This PDU is ideal for IT professionals managing data centers, colocation facilities, or enterprise server rooms where reliable power distribution, monitoring, and space efficiency are essential.
