APC by Schneider Electric APDU1335T NetShelter Rack PDU Temperature Sensor
Overview
The APDU1335T is a rack-mount temperature sensor designed for use with APC NetShelter rack PDUs. If you're managing power distribution units in a data center, server room, or network closet and need thermal visibility at the rack level — without deploying a separate environmental monitoring appliance — this sensor attaches directly to compatible NetShelter PDUs to deliver that data through the PDU's existing management interface.
The sensor is compact at 50mm wide × 100mm deep × 8mm high, with a black finish that blends into standard rack deployments. One unit is included per pack. It won't solve rack-wide airflow mapping on its own, but for a baseline thermal alert at the PDU level, it's a straightforward add-on to an existing APC by Schneider Electric infrastructure investment.
Key Features
- NetShelter PDU Compatibility: Designed specifically for the NetShelter rack PDU ecosystem — no additional adapters or controllers required when pairing with a supported PDU. This keeps your rack infrastructure consolidated rather than adding a standalone sensor hub.
- Low-Profile Form Factor (8mm Height): At just 8mm tall, the APDU1335T won't consume meaningful rack space or obstruct cable routing. Thin-profile matters in dense rack builds where every millimeter of clearance counts.
- Compact Footprint (50mm × 100mm): The sensor's small body keeps it out of the way in tight airflow paths, which is exactly where you want a temperature probe positioned without creating a blockage that skews the readings it's meant to capture.
- Single-Unit Pack: Ships as a one-piece unit — straightforward to order per-PDU without dealing with multi-pack minimums when you need to instrument a specific rack.
Integration & Compatibility
The APDU1335T is specified for NetShelter rack PDU compatibility. Before ordering, confirm the specific NetShelter PDU model in your rack supports an external temperature sensor input — not all PDU variants in the NetShelter line share the same sensor port configuration. APC's PDU compatibility documentation is the authoritative reference for your specific PDU model number. For larger environmental monitoring deployments across multiple racks, pairing PDU-level sensors with APC's NetBotz environmental monitoring platform is a common architecture worth evaluating alongside this environmental monitoring add-on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which APC PDUs is the APDU1335T compatible with?
A: The APDU1335T is specified for APC NetShelter rack PDUs. Confirm your specific PDU model supports an external sensor input before ordering — not all NetShelter PDU variants include a sensor port.
Q: What does the APDU1335T measure?
A: The APDU1335T is a temperature sensor designed to monitor thermal conditions at the rack PDU level within NetShelter deployments.
Q: How many sensors come in a pack?
A: One sensor unit is included per pack.
Q: Does the APDU1335T require a separate power source?
A: No separate power source data is confirmed in available evidence. The sensor is designed to connect directly to compatible NetShelter PDUs — consult the PDU's installation guide for power and interface details.
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the APDU1335T?
A: The sensor measures 50mm wide × 100mm deep × 8mm high, making it a low-profile addition to any rack build.
The APDU1335T is a purpose-built sensor for the NetShelter PDU ecosystem — its 8mm height is the spec I always point engineers to first, because a probe that creates airflow obstruction at the measurement point defeats its own purpose. In a dense rack, that low profile is practical engineering, not just a product bullet.
Technical Highlights:
- Low-Profile Depth (8mm): At 8mm tall, the sensor sits flush enough in tight rack configurations to avoid disrupting the very airflow conditions it's monitoring — a geometry issue that matters more than most buyers anticipate.
- Compact Body (50 × 100mm): Fits within the physical constraints of a populated NetShelter PDU install without requiring cable rerouting or creative mounting workarounds.
- Single-Unit Pack: Ordered per-sensor, which gives you flexibility to instrument only the PDUs that need it rather than committing to multi-pack quantities across a whole deployment.
Deployment Considerations:
- Before deploying the APDU1335T, verify the target NetShelter PDU model has a compatible sensor input port — not every PDU in the NetShelter line exposes one, and this is the most common source of ordering errors on this part.
- This sensor provides point-in-time rack-level thermal data at the PDU. If you need multi-point airflow mapping across an enclosure, pair it with a dedicated environmental monitoring platform rather than treating it as a standalone solution.
For data centers and server rooms running NetShelter-based power distribution who want thermal awareness integrated into their existing PDU management plane — rather than a separate sensor network — the APDU1335T is the direct path to get there without adding infrastructure complexity.
