AP7853 — APC Rack PDU Metered/Switched 1U–2U
The APC Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) range provides monitored, metered, and switched power distribution at the rack level, bridging the gap between the UPS output and individual server and networking equipment power inlets in data centres and IT rooms. The AP7853 Switched Rack PDU delivers 16 A of three-phase 230 V power across 24 individually switched IEC 320 C13/C19 outlets, enabling remote outlet-level power cycling of locked-up servers, scheduled outlet switching for after-hours equipment management, and load balancing across phases — functions that collectively eliminate the need for manual intervention in unmanned server rooms. Each outlet monitors current draw, voltage, and energy consumption, feeding data to Schneider's EcoStruxure IT platform for rack-level power usage effectiveness (PUE) calculation.
The Switched Rack PDU's embedded network management card provides SNMP, HTTP/HTTPS, and Modbus TCP interfaces directly at the rack, enabling IT administrators to manage outlet states, configure thresholds, and receive email or SMS alerts on overcurrent or outlet failure events from any location with network access. The 0U vertical mount form factor mounts in the side channel of the rack, preserving all 42U or 48U rack space for revenue-generating IT equipment — a significant advantage over 1U horizontal PDUs that consume rack unit space. The unit's inlet cord options cover IEC 309 (3-phase), hardwired, and regional plug types to match any Saudi data centre power distribution configuration.
In Saudi Arabia's growing colocation and enterprise data centre market, APC Rack PDUs are specified as standard by facilities teams at STC, Mobily, and the government's National Center for Government Technology (Yesser) who need granular power monitoring at each rack to track tenant power consumption, demonstrate compliance with SEC metering requirements, and optimise cooling system operation based on real rack-level heat load data. The Al Yamamah University and KAUST data research centres use switched PDUs to automate after-hours power management, reducing idle server energy consumption during low-utilisation periods.
Razz Middle East maintains comprehensive stock of APC metered, metered-by-outlet, and switched PDUs in 1-phase and 3-phase configurations across multiple current ratings and outlet combinations. We provide consultative PDU selection for new data centre projects and supply matched NetShelter rack-PDU-UPS solutions as an integrated package with single-source accountability.

Key Features & Benefits
- Individual outlet switching enables remote power cycling of locked-up servers and scheduled outlet management, eliminating the need for physical site visits to reboot failed equipment in unmanned server rooms.
- Per-outlet current, voltage, and energy metering feeds real-time rack-level power data to EcoStruxure IT, enabling accurate PUE calculation and tenant billing in colocation facilities.
- 0U vertical mount form factor preserves all 42U–48U rack space for IT equipment, with zero rack unit consumption versus 1U horizontal PDUs — important in high-density, high-cost colocation rack deployments.
- Embedded network management card with SNMP v1/v2c/v3, HTTP/HTTPS, and Modbus TCP provides secure, multi-protocol remote management without an external NMC2 card or separate controller.
- Phase load balancing across three-phase PDU outlets helps data centre operators keep three-phase input currents within 5% of each other, satisfying SEC supply authority power quality requirements.
- Configurable current thresholds with email and SNMP trap alerts provide advance warning of overloaded branch circuits before MCB tripping causes unplanned IT equipment outages.
- Daisy-chain network port enables multiple PDUs in a rack to share a single network connection, reducing IP address consumption and switch port requirements in large multi-rack deployments.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Colocation data centre rack power metering for tenant billing at STC, Mobily, and international hyperscale facilities entering Saudi Arabia, where per-outlet kWh data feeds automated billing systems.
- Enterprise server room power management at Saudi banking institutions, where remote outlet switching enables after-hours server power cycling without calling in on-site staff.
- ARAMCO IT infrastructure rack power monitoring at Dhahran data centre, where outlet-level energy data supports corporate sustainability reporting and energy efficiency improvement programmes.
- NEOM smart city edge compute node power distribution, where 0U PDUs distribute UPS-backed power to rack-mounted edge servers and networking equipment in space-constrained node cabinets.
- University HPC cluster power distribution at KAUST and KFUPM, where three-phase PDUs balance load across the high-density GPU server racks used for AI and simulation workloads.
- Government ministry data centre power monitoring under the Yesser national cloud programme, where rack-level metering data feeds the National Data Center energy consumption reporting platform.
- Telecom equipment room power distribution for STC and Zain 5G core network nodes, where switched PDUs enable remote equipment reset during network fault management procedures.
