APC Netshelter Rack PDU Advanced Switched 17.3KW 3PH 415V 30A 530P6 48 OUT - APDU11350SW

APC by Schneider Electric APDU11350SW Advanced Switched 3-Phase Rack PDU

Overview

The APDU11350SW is APC's high-density, three-phase switched rack PDU engineered for dense data center deployments where individual outlet control, real-time power monitoring, and multi-phase load balancing are non-negotiable. Rated at 34,600 VA across a 400V / 415V three-phase input at up to 30A per phase (530P6 plug), it delivers up to 17.3 kW of usable power to 42 managed outlets — a combination that suits high-density compute rows, blade chassis environments, and critical infrastructure racks where a single PDU must feed a full cabinet worth of servers, storage, and networking gear.

For integrators specifying rack power distribution in European or international facilities, the APDU11350SW sits within the broader APC by Schneider Electric Netshelter PDU family — a line built around centralized energy management with per-outlet switching as a standard capability rather than an add-on.

Key Features

• 34,600 VA / 17.3 kW Capacity: Running three-phase 400V at 30A feeds a full high-density cabinet without splitting power across multiple smaller PDUs — fewer whips, fewer failure points, cleaner cable management in 42U–48U enclosures.
• 42 Switched Outlets — C13, C15, C19, C21: The mixed outlet bank covers the full range of IEC load types in one unit. C13 for 1U servers and switches, C15 for hot-equipment and UPS applications requiring the higher-temperature notch, C19/C21 for high-draw devices like blade chassis or large storage arrays. Per-outlet switching means you can remotely cycle a locked-up server without dispatching a technician to the floor — meaningful in remote or lights-out facilities.
• NMC3 Management Platform (5x RJ-45 + 1x USB): APC's third-generation network management card is embedded — not a slot-in option. Five Ethernet LAN ports support out-of-band management network segmentation and daisy-chaining in network infrastructure environments. The USB port supports local console access and firmware updates without network access. NMC3 also enables SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Modbus TCP, and RESTful API integration, so the PDU feeds directly into DCIM platforms and monitoring stacks without middleware.
• Three-Phase Input — Load Balancing Visibility: With three live phases each carrying independent load, phase imbalance is the most common cause of breaker trips in dense racks. The APDU11350SW's metered three-phase design surfaces per-phase current draw so operators can redistribute loads before an imbalance event — proactive capacity management rather than reactive incident response.
• 400V / 415V Nominal Input at 50/60 Hz: Dual-frequency compatibility makes this unit deployable across European 50 Hz grid infrastructure and 60 Hz international facilities without hardware changes. The 400V nominal input is standard for IEC three-phase distribution in data halls outside North America.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive — a procurement requirement for public-sector and EU-based enterprise data center projects where environmental compliance documentation is part of the tender process.
• 0U Vertical Form Factor: Zero-U mounting keeps all 42 outlets accessible without consuming a single rack unit of usable server space. In a fully populated 42U cabinet, recovering even 1U back for compute or storage has measurable density value — and vertical PDU placement routes power cables naturally to the rear of equipment without crossing airflow paths.
• Maximum 60A Input Capacity: The 60A breaker headroom against a 30A nominal draw provides meaningful de-rating margin — standard practice is to load a PDU to no more than 80% of its rated capacity for continuous operation, which lands at 48A. The 60A maximum gives you room to absorb brief inrush events from simultaneous server boots or UPS transfers without nuisance tripping.

Integration and Compatibility

The APDU11350SW integrates with APC's EcoStruxure IT ecosystem for centralized PDU monitoring across multiple racks and sites. The NMC3 platform supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 traps for integration with third-party monitoring tools (Nagios, PRTG, SolarWinds, Zabbix), and the RESTful API enables custom DCIM integrations. For high-availability surveillance NVR racks or compute-dense environments, pairing with APC Smart-UPS or Symmetra systems upstream provides both power conditioning and runtime backup — the APDU11350SW handles distribution and per-outlet control; the UPS handles ride-through and surge protection.

The 530P6 input plug mates with standard IEC 60309 three-phase receptacles common in European-spec data halls and colocation facilities. Verify that your facility's PDPs (power distribution panels) or busway taps provide the correct 5-pin (3P+N+E) 30A receptacle before spec'ing this unit — a plug-receptacle mismatch is one of the most common installation errors on international PDU deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What input plug does the APDU11350SW use, and what facility power does it require?

A: The APDU11350SW uses a 530P6 input plug (IEC 60309, 5-pin, 3-phase + neutral + earth, 30A). It requires a 400V / 415V three-phase supply at 50 or 60 Hz. Verify your facility's PDPs or busway taps provide a compatible 5-pin 30A receptacle before installation.

Q: What outlet types are on the APDU11350SW, and how many of each?

A: The APDU11350SW provides 42 total switched outlets across four IEC coupler types: C13, C15, C19, and C21. The exact count per type is not confirmed in available evidence — contact the manufacturer or your distributor for the per-type outlet breakdown.

Q: Does the APDU11350SW include a network management card?

A: Yes. The APDU11350SW ships with APC's NMC3 (Network Management Card 3) embedded. It provides 5 Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports and 1 USB port. NMC3 supports SNMP, Modbus TCP, and RESTful API for integration with DCIM and monitoring platforms.

Q: What is the maximum load capacity of the APDU11350SW?

A: The APDU11350SW is rated at 34,600 VA (approximately 17.3 kW) at 400V three-phase. Standard practice is to derate to 80% for continuous operation, which gives a practical operating ceiling of approximately 27,680 VA / 13.8 kW.

Q: Is the APDU11350SW compatible with APC EcoStruxure IT?

A: The NMC3 management platform on the APDU11350SW is designed for integration with APC's EcoStruxure IT ecosystem for centralized monitoring and management. Verify current firmware compatibility with APC's support resources for your specific EcoStruxure version.

Q: Is the APDU11350SW RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The APDU11350SW carries RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance certification, which is a common requirement for EU public-sector and enterprise data center procurement.

The APDU11350SW is the unit I spec when a customer is building a high-density European-standard data hall and needs per-outlet control without bolting on a separate management module. The embedded NMC3 with five RJ-45 ports and 34,600 VA across a single 530P6 whip means you are not piecing together a switching layer — it is already there, and it integrates directly into SNMP-based monitoring stacks on day one.

Technical Highlights:

• 34,600 VA / 17.3 kW Three-Phase Capacity: At 400V three-phase with a 30A input, this PDU feeds a fully populated high-density cabinet from a single whip — no dual-corded PDU pairs needed for most deployments, which simplifies cabling and reduces panel circuit count.
• 42 Switched Outlets (C13/C15/C19/C21): Per-outlet remote switching lets ops teams cycle a locked device without a floor walk. C15 outlets handle the hot-equipment IEC notch requirement that standard C13 receptacles do not — important if you are powering UPS output connections or high-temperature-rated equipment.
• NMC3 — 5x RJ-45 + USB: Five Ethernet ports support out-of-band management segmentation and PDU-to-PDU daisy-chaining without consuming additional switch ports. The USB console port is the fallback when the network path is down — a detail that matters during initial commissioning or a major network fault.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 530P6 plug requires an IEC 60309 5-pin (3P+N+E) 30A receptacle at the facility PDP or busway tap. Confirm this before the unit ships to site — adapters for this connector class are non-trivial and re-cabling a live PDP mid-deployment is expensive.
• The APDU11350SW's 60A maximum current rating against a 30A nominal input provides headroom for inrush, but the 80% continuous derating rule still applies — plan your load budget at no more than 24A per phase (approximately 16.6 kW) for continuous operation to stay within safe operating range.

This PDU is purpose-built for colocation rows and enterprise data halls running IEC three-phase distribution — specifically environments where remote outlet cycling, per-phase load visibility, and NMC3-based DCIM integration are required from day one rather than retrofitted later.
