Overview

The APC NetShelter APDU9970 Switched Rack PDU provides enterprise-class power distribution in a compact 0U vertical design. With 30A capacity, advanced outlet-level control, and integrated SNMP/Redfish management, it is engineered for high-density IT environments that demand precision, uptime, and full remote power monitoring.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Density Outlet Configuration: 16 NEMA 5-20R, 7 C13/C15, and 1 C19/C21 outlets maximize compatibility with diverse IT loads.
• Switched Functionality: Remote on/off outlet control streamlines management and reduces downtime during maintenance.
• Integrated Network Management: Built-in SNMP and Redfish protocols deliver seamless monitoring across IT ecosystems.
• Vertical 0U Form Factor: Saves critical rack space while supporting high-capacity deployments.
• Wide Environmental Tolerance: Operates from -5°C to 60°C, ensuring resilience in challenging conditions.

Technical Deep Dive

The APDU9970 operates with a line-rated current of 24A and supports input voltages of 120/208V, making it highly adaptable for modern data centers. Its switched functionality enables administrators to control individual outlets remotely, a critical capability for load shedding, device reboot, or energy optimization strategies.

By incorporating SNMP and Redfish, the PDU seamlessly integrates into network management frameworks. These protocols provide real-time visibility into energy consumption, load balancing, and fault alerts, enabling proactive IT operations. The vertical 0U mounting design maximizes rack density without consuming rack units, a significant advantage for high-density deployments.

Engineered for demanding environments, the APDU9970 is designed to withstand up to 10,000 feet of altitude and wide humidity ranges, making it suitable for both controlled and edge deployments.

Ideal Applications

• Enterprise data centers with high outlet density requirements
• Co-location and hosting facilities
• Telecommunications network racks
• Distributed IT and edge deployments
