A rack PDU is the strip that turns one cabinet feed into the many outlets the equipment in the rack plugs into, and the choice that matters most is not the brand — it is the class of PDU. APC's NetShelter line, carried here, spans three classes that answer three different operational questions. A basic PDU distributes power and nothing else; a metered PDU adds a measurement of the load so you know how close a circuit is to its limit before a breaker tells you; a switched PDU adds per-outlet control so a device can be power-cycled remotely. Buying well starts with deciding which of those questions the rack actually needs answered, because the price and the wiring follow from it.

The second decision is the electrical fit, and it is unforgiving. A PDU is specified by its input plug, its voltage, its amperage and its outlet mix, and all four have to match the rack's circuit and the equipment in it — a 208V PDU on a 120V circuit, or a strip whose outlets are C13 when the servers need C19, is a strip that does not power the rack. The titles here name the plug type, the voltage, the current and the exact outlet count and style on every row, which is what lets a data-center buyer match the strip to the circuit drawing rather than to a photograph.

The third decision is format and airflow. A zero-U vertical PDU mounts in the rack's rear channel and stays out of the way of the equipment; a 1U or 2U horizontal PDU takes a rack space but suits a shallow or partially populated cabinet. Cards carry live pricing and current availability from the catalog; send the rack's circuit type and the equipment's inlet mix and we will match the PDU, the whip and the rack together.

Buyer's checklist

How to choose an APC rack PDU

  • Decide the class before anything else. Basic distributes power; metered measures the load so you see a circuit approaching its limit; switched adds remote per-outlet power-cycling. Each class costs and wires differently, so pick the one the rack's operations actually need rather than the most capable one.
  • Match the input plug, voltage and amperage to the circuit. A PDU is defined by its input — the titles here name the NEMA or IEC plug, the voltage and the current — and it has to match the whip feeding the rack exactly. Read those against the electrical drawing, not against a similar rack.
  • Match the outlet mix to the equipment, not the average. Count the C13, C19 and NEMA outlets the gear in the rack actually needs; a strip with the right total but the wrong split leaves you short of C19s for the servers that need them. The outlet count and style are on every row here.
  • Choose 0U vertical for density, horizontal for shallow racks. A zero-U vertical strip mounts in the rear channel and frees every rack space; a 1U or 2U horizontal PDU is the answer for a shallow cabinet or a partially filled rack where a full-height vertical does not fit.
  • Size for the load with headroom and for phase. Sum the equipment draw, leave margin, and where a rack is dense consider a three-phase PDU to balance the load — several units here are three-phase, stated in the title. Running a single-phase strip near its ceiling is how a full rack trips a breaker.
  • Where you need visibility or control, buy metered or switched at install. Retrofitting measurement or per-outlet control into a live rack means an outage; deciding it at the build is free. A metered strip pays for itself the first time it shows a circuit at 80% before the breaker does.
  • Order the PDU with the rack, the whip and the cable management. The strip, the cabinet, the input whip and the vertical cable management land on the same install; quoting them together is what keeps the rack build on one delivery.

Basic, metered and switched: three classes, three questions

The class of a rack PDU is the decision the rest follow from, and APC's NetShelter line is titled by it. A basic PDU is a distribution strip: it takes the feed and splits it into outlets, and it does nothing else, which is exactly right for a rack whose load is known and stable and whose power is monitored upstream. A metered PDU adds a measurement — of the whole strip, or on the 2G metered-by-outlet units, of each outlet — so an operator can see a circuit approaching its rated current and rebalance before a breaker trips, which is the difference between a planned move and an outage.

A switched PDU adds control on top of measurement: each outlet can be turned off and on remotely, which lets a hung device be power-cycled without a site visit and lets unused outlets be locked out. It is the most capable class and the most expensive, and the honest guidance is to buy it where remote hands are scarce or the rack is far away, not by default. The three classes are not a quality ladder — a basic PDU is the correct choice for many racks — they are three answers to whether the rack needs to distribute, to see, or to control its power.

Format, phase and what ships around the PDU

Format is the other axis. A zero-U vertical PDU mounts in the rack's rear cable channel and consumes no rack units, which is why it is the default in a dense cabinet where every U is spoken for; the horizontal 1U and 2U units on this page are for shallow racks, partially populated cabinets, or a two-post rack where a full-height vertical has nowhere to mount. Phase matters as the rack fills: a dense rack is easier to feed and balance on three-phase power, and several units here are three-phase, which is stated in the title along with the plug and the outlet mix.

A PDU is never the whole order. It is fed by an input whip sized to the circuit, it lives in a cabinet with vertical cable management dressing the cords, and it powers equipment whose inlet mix it has to match. Uniqcli quotes the PDU alongside the rack, the whip, the cable management and the UPS or upstream protection, so a rack or a row lands as one accountable order. Send the circuit type, the equipment inlet mix and the rack format, and we will come back with matched part numbers, availability, lead times and volume pricing.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between a basic, metered and switched PDU?
They answer three different questions. A basic PDU distributes power to its outlets and does nothing else — the right choice for a stable rack monitored upstream. A metered PDU adds a measurement of the load, on the whole strip or per outlet on the 2G metered-by-outlet units, so you can see a circuit nearing its limit and rebalance before a breaker trips. A switched PDU adds remote per-outlet control, so a hung device can be power-cycled without a site visit. They are three answers, not a quality ladder — pick the one the rack's operations need.
How do I match an APC PDU to my rack's power?
By reading four things off the title and matching them to the circuit feeding the rack: the input plug (a NEMA or IEC connector), the voltage, the amperage, and the outlet mix. All four have to match — a 208V strip on a 120V circuit will not work, and a strip whose outlets are C13 when the servers need C19 leaves you short. The titles here state the plug, the voltage, the current and the exact outlet count and style on every row, so match them to the electrical drawing rather than to a similar rack.
Should I choose a 0U vertical or a horizontal rack PDU?
It depends on rack density and depth. A zero-U vertical PDU mounts in the rack's rear cable channel and consumes no rack units, which makes it the default in a dense cabinet where every U is needed for equipment. A 1U or 2U horizontal PDU takes a rack space but suits a shallow cabinet, a partially populated rack, or a two-post rack where a full-height vertical has nowhere to mount. Both formats appear on this page across all three classes.
Do I need a three-phase PDU?
You need one where the rack is dense enough that balancing the load across phases matters — a high-density server or GPU rack is easier to feed and keep within circuit limits on three-phase power than on single-phase. Several units here are three-phase, which is stated in the title along with the plug type and the outlet mix. For a lightly or moderately loaded rack, a single-phase PDU sized with headroom is the simpler and correct choice; size it so it is not running near its ceiling.
