APC by Schneider Electric APDU11550ME Metered 3-Phase Rack PDU
Overview
The APDU11550ME is a 0U vertical-mount, three-phase metered rack PDU from the APC Netshelter Advanced 11K Series, engineered for high-density data center cabinets and industrial enclosures where accurate per-unit power monitoring matters. Running at 415V with a 100A maximum current draw and a 69 kVA load capacity, it handles the power demands of dense compute rows without requiring a dedicated power meter inline. The IEC309 plug and three-phase input make it the correct fit for European and international facilities running three-phase 415V distribution — not a North American 208V deployment. NMC3 management integration means the APDU11550ME connects directly to APC's network management infrastructure, giving operators real-time load readings and alerting through the same console used for APC UPS systems and other intelligent rack components.
Compatibility
Designed for deployment in APC Netshelter SX, SX6, and VX racks that support vertical 0U PDU mounting channels. The IEC309 input plug is compatible with facility power whips and in-row power distribution panels configured for 415V three-phase feeds — confirm your PDU whip connector gender and pin configuration before ordering. The 18-outlet mix covers four IEC connector types: C13 (standard 1U/2U servers and network gear), C15 (higher-temp devices such as switches and storage), C19 (high-draw servers and GPU nodes), and C21 (high-temp, high-draw hybrid loads) — suited for heterogeneous server rack populations without adapter cables. NMC3 management is compatible with APC EcoStruxure IT and APC Data Center Expert platforms.
Installation Notes
Vertical 0U form factor mounts in the dedicated side channels of compatible Netshelter enclosures — confirm channel width and PDU bracket compatibility with your specific cabinet model before installation. Operating temperature range is -5°C to 60°C; storage down to -20°C. The IP67 environmental rating means the unit can withstand temporary water immersion, making it serviceable in wash-down or high-humidity industrial enclosures, not just climate-controlled data halls. Relative humidity tolerance runs 5–90% operating and 5–95% in storage — suitable for environments without precision cooling, though condensation must be avoided.
