APC by Schneider Electric DCM00K06SGMT 100A Rack-Mount GMT Power Distribution Unit with SNMP
Overview
The DCM00K06SGMT is APC's Magnum VS 100 rack-mount power distribution unit built for surveillance and security infrastructure deployments where centralized power management and fuse-level protection matter. Rated at 100 amps with a GMT fuse configuration and integrated SNMP monitoring, this unit belongs on the input side of dense NVR rooms, head-end equipment racks, and enterprise security closets — anywhere you need both high-capacity distribution and real-time visibility into power status without deploying a separate network management appliance.
GMT (Midget) fuses offer precise branch-circuit protection at each outlet, giving you the ability to isolate faults at the device level rather than tripping an upstream breaker and taking down an entire rack. For network video recorder deployments running 20+ cameras per recorder, that fault isolation is the difference between a camera group going dark and a whole building losing recording.
Key Features
- 100-Amp Output Capacity: At 100A total output, the DCM00K06SGMT handles high-density rack loads — think 8–12U of PoE switches, NVR hardware, and network gear simultaneously — without undersizing the distribution layer. Sizing to 100A on the input side keeps you out of nuisance-trip territory at 80% continuous load (80A usable per NEC guidance).
- GMT Fuse Protection: GMT-type fuses provide individual branch overcurrent protection with fast-blow characteristics that protect sensitive electronics better than circuit breakers in many scenarios. Field-replaceable without special tooling, so a blown fuse is a 60-second maintenance event rather than a service call.
- SNMP Network Monitoring: The onboard SNMP interface lets your NMS (network management system) or VMS health-monitoring stack poll power status, alarm conditions, and load data in real time. For SOC and enterprise security deployments where network infrastructure uptime is measured in SLAs, this visibility means you catch a degrading circuit before it takes out a camera zone.
- 100–240V AC Universal Input: Accepts both 100V and 240V mains, making this unit deployable across North American and international site standards without rewiring or transformer adaptation. Useful for multi-region integrators standardizing on a single PDU SKU across global deployments.
- 19-Inch Rack-Mount Form Factor: Standard 19
