APC NetShelter 14.4kW 42-Outlets Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit

The APC APDU10451SW is a switched rack power distribution unit that delivers 14.4 kW of three-phase 208 V power to 42 outlets. Each outlet can be controlled and monitored individually through a secure web interface, SNMP, or the local display, giving administrators precise authority over every device in the rack.

The four-in-one receptacle design accepts C13, C15, C19, and C21 plugs, so one PDU can serve a varied mix of servers, storage arrays, and network appliances. By arranging the outlets on alternating phases, the unit shortens cable runs and encourages balanced loading. Integrated metering reports voltage, current, power, energy, and phase information with one-percent accuracy, helping teams plan capacity and avoid overloads. A gigabit Ethernet port and a dedicated cascading port maintain network connectivity even during power events, and multiple PDUs can share a single IP address to simplify management. The chassis is only 2.2 inches wide and mounts vertically in the zero-U space of NetShelter racks, preserving valuable rack units for equipment.

Rated for continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 60 °C, the APDU10451SW suits hot-aisle deployments in dense data centers, evolving lab environments, and remote colocation sites where on-demand outlet control eliminates costly hands-on visits. Optional environmental sensors extend visibility to temperature and humidity, while TAA compliance and UL 62368-1 certification meet government and enterprise procurement standards.
