APC APDU10452SM

Overview

The APC APDU10452SM is a rack power distribution unit designed to provide efficient and flexible power management for server and networking racks. It offers 42 outlets within a slim 2.2-inch profile, supporting a maximum power capacity of 17.3kW at 208V and 60A across three phases. This unit is ideal for high-density environments where space is limited but reliable power distribution and remote control are essential.

Its unique 4-in-1 combination outlets accommodate C13, C15, C19, and C21 connectors, simplifying deployment by supporting a wide range of equipment without the need for multiple PDUs. The switched outlets enable remote power control of individual devices, while built-in metering provides accurate power consumption readings within 1%, helping to prevent overloads and optimize energy use.

Connectivity and compatibility

This PDU supports a broad range of rack-mounted equipment thanks to its versatile 4-in-1 outlet design, accommodating common power connectors used in servers, switches, and other networking devices. The gigabit Ethernet port ensures fast and reliable network communication for remote management, while the secondary 10/100 port provides redundancy to maintain connectivity in case of network issues.

Its alternating phase design helps balance loads across the three phases, which is critical in complex rack environments to avoid circuit overloads and improve overall power distribution efficiency.

Performance and reliability

Built to withstand demanding data center conditions, this unit operates reliably at temperatures up to 140°F, making it suitable for high-density racks where heat can be a concern. The live swap Network Management Card allows IT staff to perform maintenance or upgrades without interrupting power or monitoring, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous operation of critical equipment.

Accurate power metering within 1% precision helps administrators track energy usage closely, enabling better capacity planning and cost management.

Ideal uses and environments

The APC APDU10452SM fits well in data centers, server rooms, and network closets where space is at a premium but power demands are high. It is a strong choice for IT professionals who need remote control over rack power, detailed energy monitoring, and a compact solution that supports a variety of equipment types. Its robust design and advanced features make it suitable for environments requiring reliable, high-capacity power distribution with minimal footprint.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
