Overview
The APC APDU9961 is a high-density NetShelter switched rack PDU designed for modern data centers and enterprise IT environments. Delivering 5.7kW of capacity at 208V, this 0U vertical unit provides advanced outlet-level control, robust network management via SNMP and Redfish, and versatile mounting for seamless integration into any rack system. Built for reliability and efficiency, it ensures secure power distribution to critical servers, storage, and networking equipment.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Power Density: 5.7kW capacity supports demanding IT loads in enterprise racks.
- Switched Outlet Control: Remote power cycling and outlet-level management reduce downtime.
- Comprehensive Connectivity: Supports SNMP and Redfish for seamless integration into DCIM systems.
- 0U Vertical Design: Maximizes rack space while delivering centralized power distribution.
- Versatile Outlets: 21 C13/C15 and 3 C19/C21 outlets accommodate a wide range of IT hardware.
- Durable Build: Engineered with robust safety compliance (IEC 62368-1, FCC Class A).
Technical Deep Dive
The APDU9961 leverages a switched PDU design, enabling administrators to control each outlet individually. This feature not only simplifies remote troubleshooting but also enhances energy efficiency by allowing selective power cycling of devices without physical intervention.
Its support for industry-standard management protocols such as SNMP and Redfish ensures compatibility with both traditional network management systems and emerging API-driven infrastructures. This flexibility makes it highly adaptable for modern data center automation strategies.
The 0U vertical mounting configuration allows the unit to reside outside standard rack units, preserving valuable rack space for servers and networking gear. With 24 total outlets, including high-current C19/C21 receptacles, the APDU9961 can power both standard and high-capacity IT hardware with ease.
Ideal Applications
- Enterprise data centers requiring high-density power distribution
- Colocation facilities with diverse client hardware
- Network closets supporting mixed device form factors
- Cloud and edge deployments needing remote outlet control
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How is the APDU9961 installed?
A: The PDU is a 0U vertical unit with included brackets, designed for side mounting in standard racks without consuming rack units.
Q2: What performance can I expect?
A: It delivers 5.7kW at 208V with 24 outlets. Actual performance and load handling depend on connected equipment and environmental factors.
