APC Netshelter Rack PDU Advanced Switched 17.3KW 3PH 415V 30A 530P6 48 OU - APDU10350SW

APC by Schneider Electric APDU10350SW Advanced Switched 3-Phase Rack PDU

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric APDU10350SW is a 17.3kW, 3-phase, 415V switched rack power distribution unit designed for high-density data center and network equipment cabinets where per-outlet remote switching is a hard operational requirement. With 48 outlets and a 30A input via a 530P6 plug on a 5.9 ft (1.8 m) cord, this PDU handles the power density of fully loaded server or storage racks without requiring manual intervention to cycle individual loads. Vertical rack mounting keeps the unit flush against the rail and preserves all U-space for active equipment — the right layout for any cabinet where horizontal PDU real estate is already spoken for.

As part of the APC by Schneider Electric rack PDU lineup, the APDU10350SW sits in the Switched tier, meaning each outlet can be individually toggled, sequenced, or controlled on a schedule — critical for automating cold-boot recovery in unmanned comms rooms or remote equipment closets.

Key Features

• 17.3kW / 3-Phase 415V Input: Three-phase power delivery at this capacity supports fully loaded high-density racks — think blade server chassis, NVR arrays, or dense PoE switch stacks — without tripping branch circuit limits or requiring multiple single-phase feeds. This is not a unit for light-duty AV closets.
• 30A Input, 530P6 Plug: The IEC 530P6 input plug mates with standard 3-phase 30A receptacles common in European and international data center environments. Confirm your local panel has 530R6 receptacles before ordering — this unit is wired for 415V 3-phase, not North American 120/208V infrastructure.
• 48 Switched Outlets: Individual outlet switching across all 48 receptacles means you can remotely power-cycle a hung device, stagger startup sequences to control inrush current, or isolate a failed unit without touching anything else in the rack. For unmanned surveillance or network equipment rooms, this eliminates truck rolls for a simple reboot.
• Switched PDU Tier (Advanced): Advanced Switched models in the APC Switched PDU category typically provide outlet-level metering, switching, and environmental monitoring hooks alongside network management access — allowing integration with DCIM or BMS platforms for power usage reporting. Verify specific management feature support against the APC datasheet for this SKU.
• Vertical Rack Mounting: At 70.08 in (178.0 cm) long, the APDU10350SW runs the full height of a standard 42U cabinet when mounted vertically in the side channel. This preserves front-to-back airflow and keeps all U-positions open for servers, switches, or recorders. Horizontal PDU mounting would consume 2–4U that active gear typically needs.
• 5.9 ft (1.8 m) Input Cord: The 1.8 m cord provides enough slack to route from a floor-level or rear-panel receptacle up to the cabinet's vertical channel without strain — but if your power drop is at the top of the rack, plan the route before installation. Cord management in the rear channel matters for airflow.
• 9.6 kg (21.2 lb) Unit Weight: Fully unloaded, the PDU itself is under 10 kg — manageable for a two-person cabinet installation, but account for cable weight when routing 48 power connections inside the rack.

Integration & Compatibility

The APDU10350SW is designed for rack enclosures with vertical PDU mounting channels — standard in APC NetShelter and equivalent third-party cabinets. The 530P6 plug targets international 3-phase installations running 415V; if your facility runs 208V 3-phase (North American standard), this is not the correct model — select the matching APDU variant for your input voltage. Integration with APC EcoStruxure IT or similar DCIM platforms depends on network management card availability for this specific SKU; confirm card compatibility with APC before ordering if remote management via SNMP or web UI is a requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What input plug does the APDU10350SW use, and what receptacle does my panel need?

A: The APDU10350SW uses a 530P6 input plug, which requires a matching 530R6 3-phase 30A receptacle at your panel. This is standard in European and international 415V 3-phase installations. Confirm your facility's panel configuration before ordering.

Q: How many outlets does the APDU10350SW provide, and are they all switched?

A: The APDU10350SW provides 48 outlets. As a Switched PDU, all outlets support individual remote switching — you can power-cycle specific devices or control startup sequencing without physical access to the cabinet.

Q: Will the APDU10350SW fit in a standard 42U rack?

A: Yes. At 70.08 in (178.0 cm) in length, the APDU10350SW is designed for vertical mounting in the side channel of a standard 42U cabinet, preserving all U-positions for active equipment.

Q: Is the APDU10350SW compatible with North American 208V 3-phase power?

A: No. The APDU10350SW is rated for 415V 3-phase input — the standard in European and international data centers. If your facility runs 120/208V (North American standard), select the appropriate APC PDU variant for that input voltage.

Q: What is the total power capacity of the APDU10350SW?

A: The APDU10350SW delivers 17.3kW at 415V 3-phase / 30A input. This capacity supports high-density racks with fully loaded server, storage, or network equipment without requiring multiple PDU feeds.

Eden Phillips

The APDU10350SW is the model I'd specify for any international co-lo bay or on-premises machine room running 415V 3-phase infrastructure where the cabinet needs both high density and the ability to remote-cycle individual loads. The 17.3kW capacity at 30A 3-phase means a single PDU feed covers a fully loaded 10kW-plus rack, and the 48 switched outlets eliminate the need for a technician on-site every time a stubborn NVR or switch needs a hard reboot.

Technical Highlights:

• 17.3kW 3-Phase Capacity: At 415V / 30A 3-phase, this PDU handles compute-dense racks without splitting load across multiple single-phase units — cleaner wiring, simpler power accounting, one 530P6 connection at the panel.
• 48 Individually Switched Outlets: Per-outlet switching is the operational differentiator here — startup sequencing to control inrush across 48 devices, or isolating a single failed unit without disturbing the rest of the rack. Essential in unmanned or remote equipment rooms.
• Vertical Form Factor at 178 cm: The 70.08 in length is purpose-built for vertical side-channel mounting in 42U cabinets — no U-space consumed, full front-panel access to every device, and natural cable routing from outlets directly to rear-mounted equipment.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 530P6 plug is non-negotiable — if your raised-floor PDPs or local distribution boards don't have 530R6 receptacles, you'll need a licensed electrician to add them before the APDU10350SW goes in. Don't assume an adapter is the right path for a 30A 3-phase circuit.
• The 1.8 m input cord suits most rear-of-cabinet power drops, but if your power is sourced from overhead busway or a top-of-rack tap, measure the route before the unit ships — cord extensions on 3-phase 30A circuits are not a casual field fix.

For a European or international colocation deployment — shared machine rooms, unmanned regional NOC closets, or security operations infrastructure running 415V 3-phase — the APDU10350SW covers the power density, the outlet count, and the remote management tier that keeps operations running without hands-on intervention.
