What this PDU is

The APDU10452ME is APC's Rack PDU Advanced, Metered, 3Phase, 17.3kW, 208V 60A, 460P9, 42 Outlet. It is a metered unit, which means a local digital display and network metering, but no per-outlet switching. This is one of APC's newer NetShelter parts rather than an AP-prefix model, and it shows in two commercial details as well as the electrical ones: the warranty runs to 36 months where the older range runs to 24, and the outlets are combination receptacles rather than discrete types.

Input and current rating

Input is 60 A at 208 V 3 phase, through an IEC 60309 60 A 3P+PE plug on a 6 ft (1.8 m) cord. APC also prints a line rated current of 48 A, which is the continuous figure to design against rather than the 60 A nameplate. Maximum output is 17300 VA. Those two current figures catch people out. The nameplate rating is what the plug and the internal path are built for; the derated figure is what North American practice allows you to draw continuously, and it is the one your circuit design and your capacity planning should use.

Outlet configuration

The APDU10452ME provides 42 outlets: 21 x C13/C15/C19/C21 and 21 x C13/C15. Check the receptacle types against the cords you actually own before ordering. C13 and C19 are not interchangeable, and neither are NEMA 5-15R and 5-20R in the direction that matters: a 5-20P plug will not enter a 5-15R socket. Where a rack mixes IEC and NEMA equipment, it is usually cleaner to standardise the PDU on the majority type and adapt the handful of outliers with proper cords rather than adapters.

Rack mounting

This is a zero-U vertical unit. It mounts in the rear channel of the cabinet and uses no usable rack height at all, which is why the tall power strips are the default in any cabinet that is short of Us. Dimensions are 70.08 in (1780 mm) H x 2.2 in (56 mm) W x 3.0 in (75 mm) D. Net weight is 23.6 lb (10.7 kg). Note that the dimensions are printed height-first, so the long figure is the vertical body length rather than a rack width. Zero-U mounting sounds like a detail and is not. In a full cabinet it is often the difference between fitting the PDU and giving up a server slot for it, and it puts the outlets alongside the equipment rather than at one end of the rack.

Metering and control

Communication Port Protocol: 1000BASE-T, 10/100BASE-T. What that buys you in practice is a PDU with its own address, its own alert thresholds and its own log, so a circuit approaching its limit shows up before it trips rather than afterwards. It also means the rack's power draw is a number somebody can look up rather than a clamp meter and a site visit. Metered units measure but do not switch. If you also need to power cycle a device remotely, the switched models in the same NetShelter range are the ones to specify, and they drop into the same rack space.

Environment and siting

Operating temperature is 23 to 140 F (-5 to 60 C). That range is wider than most rack equipment tolerates, which is the point: a PDU sits in the hot aisle side of the cabinet and has to keep working when the surrounding air is doing something the servers would object to. It is still worth siting sensibly. A strip pressed against a blanking panel in a badly baffled cabinet runs hotter than the room does, and a PDU running hot is usually the first sign that the cabinet's airflow needs attention.

In the box

APC publishes no itemised carton contents for this part number, so we do not claim any. If a bracket set or a configuration cable is load-bearing for your install, ask us and we will check the stock we hold. Warranty is 36 months. Carton contents vary more across this range than you would expect from one product family, and they are not safely copied sideways between part numbers, so the list above is what the current sheet for this exact model prints rather than a tidier list assembled from a sibling.

For a rack that needs 42 outlets of metered distribution at 60 A, the APC APDU10452ME is the right part and we hold it in stock. Contact us to learn more or secure this solution for your business today.
