APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced Switched Metered 8.6kW 1-Phase

The APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced Switched Metered (APDU10250SM) is a 1-phase, high-density power distribution unit engineered for enterprise data center cabinets and high-performance computing environments. Built around outlet-level switching and metering capabilities, it enables granular remote power control of individual receptacles, allowing IT and facilities teams to cycle power to specific devices, enforce load balancing, and eliminate the need for physical access to the rack during remediation events. The unit delivers up to 8.6 kW of usable power from a single-phase input and is designed to operate in the elevated ambient temperatures common in modern high-density deployments.

At the architectural level, the APDU10250SM integrates per-outlet current metering alongside unit-level and bank-level metering, providing real-time visibility into power consumption across the full receptacle set. This multi-tier metering hierarchy feeds into APC's EcoStruxure IT and Data Center Expert management platforms via a network-connected management card, supporting SNMP, Modbus TCP, and RESTful API interfaces for integration with existing DCIM, ITSM, and monitoring toolchains. Outlet-level switching is independently controllable, with configurable power-on sequencing and time delays to manage inrush current during scheduled restarts or failover events.

The unit is housed in a 0U vertical form factor suited to standard 600 mm and 750 mm wide NetShelter enclosures, preserving rack unit space for active compute and networking equipment. Its robust thermal rating supports continuous operation in environments where ambient temperatures regularly exceed typical data center baselines, making it a practical choice for edge deployments, co-location cabinets, and high-density HPC racks where thermal margins are constrained. The combination of remote outlet control, multi-level metering, and enterprise management integration positions the APDU10250SM as a core infrastructure component for organizations prioritizing operational visibility and remote management capability.

Ideal for

• Remote power cycling of individual servers or network devices in unstaffed edge or co-location facilities, eliminating the need for an on-site technician during a software hang or firmware recovery event
• Granular load balancing across a high-density rack by monitoring per-outlet current in real time and redistributing workloads to prevent circuit overloads in single-phase cabinets approaching capacity
• Scheduled power sequencing during planned maintenance windows, using configurable outlet-level time delays to manage inrush current when bringing a full rack of servers back online simultaneously
• Integration with DCIM platforms such as APC EcoStruxure IT or third-party tools via SNMP and RESTful API for unified power consumption reporting, capacity planning, and automated alerting
• High-density HPC and AI inference rack deployments where elevated ambient temperatures require PDUs rated for operation above standard data center thermal baselines without derating
• Compliance and audit support in regulated enterprise environments, where per-outlet metering data provides accurate, timestamped power consumption records for energy reporting and chargeback models
