APC APDU10351ME 8.6 kW Metered 3‑Phase 0U Rack PDU
Overview
The APC APDU10351ME is a vertical‑mount, metered rack power distribution unit designed to distribute 208 V AC three‑phase power with precision load visibility for high‑density IT racks. Infrastructure and data center power teams deploy this PDU where accurate real‑time monitoring of power draw supports capacity planning, load balancing, and overload prevention across servers, network switches, and storage equipment. The metered design provides aggregated measurement of volts, amps, kW, and energy consumption without per‑outlet switching.
Configured for 208 V three‑phase input with a 30 A feed, the APDU10351ME supports up to approximately 8.6 kW (8600 VA) total load capacity. Its outlet architecture comprises high‑density receptacles that can accept IEC 60320 power cords in 4‑in‑1 combinations (C13, C15, C19, C21), enabling connection flexibility across diverse rack equipment. The alternating phase outlet grouping simplifies cord management and supports balanced loading across phases in three‑phase racks.
Mounted in a zero‑U vertical form factor alongside standard 19‑inch rack posts, this PDU preserves usable rack units for active equipment while providing high outlet count for dense installations. It supports local metering displays as well as network‑accessible metering via an integrated management interface for aggregated current and power metrics. Dual Ethernet ports support cascading or redundant network connections.
Operational design accommodates continuous uptime and reliability in demanding environments, with rating for operation up to 60 °C at full load. The PDU does not include uninterruptible power or battery backup; continuity through utility outages should be provided by an upstream UPS in fault‑tolerant power architectures.
This unit is suited for enterprise data halls, colocation facilities, and blade‑dense rack deployments where metered distribution, phase balancing, and detailed consumption data enhance planning and operational oversight. It is not designed as a UPS replacement nor for environments requiring outlet‑level control.
