APC NetShelter Metered-by-Outlet with Switching Rack PDU, 2G, 0U, 11.0kW, 230V, 21 C13 and 3 C19 outlet

The APC NetShelter Metered-by-Outlet with Switching Rack PDU is a high-density power distribution solution designed for modern data centers, server rooms, and IT closets. Built to deliver precise energy visibility and granular control, this 0U, rack-mounted PDU fits seamlessly into NetShelter enclosures while providing metered power at the outlet level. With 11.0 kW capacity at 230V and a total of 24 outlets (21 C13 and 3 C19), it combines robust electrical performance with flexible, remote-controlled power management. Ideal for rebooting stuck equipment, maintaining uptime, and enforcing energy policies, this PDU helps IT teams optimize efficiency, reduce downtime, and gain granular insight into how each device uses power. Whether you’re consolidating racks or expanding a data center, this unit delivers dependable power distribution and real-time visibility that support proactive IT operations and cost-conscious energy management.

• Advanced power control and outlet-level energy visibility. Each outlet on the Metered-by-Outlet PDU provides dedicated metering, enabling accurate tracking of power consumption per device. This allows IT teams to monitor energy usage, allocate costs precisely, and identify power-hungry equipment. The metering capability is paired with per-outlet control, giving you a clear view of where energy is going and allowing data-driven decisions to optimize efficiency across the rack.
• Remote outlet-level switching for rapid reboot and power recycling. The PDU supports remote on/off control at the individual outlet level, enabling quick power cycles to reboot locked-up equipment without on-site intervention. This feature reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and minimizes downtime during maintenance windows or when troubleshooting network issues, all while preserving uptime and operational continuity.
• High-capacity, compact 0U footprint with flexible outlet mix. With 11.0 kW capacity at 230V, this PDU delivers significant power for densely packed racks while occupying 0U of rack space. It provides 21 C13 outlets and 3 C19 outlets, offering flexible connectivity to a wide range of equipment—from servers and switches to storage arrays and PD devices—without sacrificing valuable rack real estate.
• Data-center-ready energy management and security benefits. The combination of outlet-by-outlet metering and individual switching enables you to enforce power usage policies, monitor trends over time, and audit energy consumption for each device. This capability supports compliance, budgeting, and proactive planning, helping you reduce waste and unnecessary energy costs while maintaining secure access to power resources within the rack.
• Simple deployment and seamless integration with NetShelter ecosystems. Designed for APC NetShelter racks, this PDU integrates smoothly into existing infrastructure. Its compact form factor, robust construction, and clear power readouts simplify installation and ongoing management. The unit is purpose-built to complement APC’s ecosystem, making it easier to scale across multiple racks and data-center environments while preserving a consistent user experience for monitoring and management.

how to install APC NetShelter Metered-by-Outlet with Switching Rack PDU

• Plan your rack layout and confirm there is adequate clearance and access for monitoring readouts and controls. The PDU is a 0U footprint, suitable for standard 19-inch rack installations.
• Mount the PDU securely within the rack rails according to your rack architecture and mounting guidelines. Ensure the unit is oriented for easy access to outlets and the control/interface panel.
• Connect the PDU to a suitable 230V power source, using an appropriate power cord and circuit protection as required by your facility’s electrical standards.
• Plug your devices into the available C13 and C19 outlets (21 C13 and 3 C19) and organize cables to maintain airflow and ease of maintenance.
• Configure outlet metering and switching through the PDU’s built-in interface or your existing APC management workflow. Set per-outlet monitoring preferences, define power-on/off policies, and verify readings align with device consumption. Perform a controlled power-on test to confirm that each outlet reports accurate energy data and that switching operates as expected.
