Overview
- The APC NetShelter Rack PDU Advanced Gen 2 560P6 is a professional-grade metered power distribution unit built for demanding data centre environments. With 42 outlets in an ultra-compact footprint, it maximises equipment density whilst delivering real-time power visibility and protection against overload conditions. The metering accuracy of 1% enables confident power usage tracking and chargeback accounting across IT infrastructure.
Native integration with EcoStruxure IT provides centralised power management, remote configuration, and environmental monitoring through a single web interface. The ability to cascade up to 32 PDUs with network port sharing allows organisations to scale power distribution intelligently across multiple racks and regions without additional network infrastructure. The live-swappable NMC3 card ensures minimal downtime during maintenance or power events.
Designed for modern high-density deployments, the unit operates reliably at temperatures up to 60°C and carries a comprehensive 3-year warranty. Its global certifications (UL, CE, CSA, UKCA, RCM, PSE, KC) make it suitable for data centre operations across Australia and international regions.

FAQs
What does PDU-level metering mean and how does it help?
PDU-level metering measures power consumption at the rack distribution point with 1% accuracy. This provides visibility into total rack power usage, helps identify overload risks before they occur, and enables accurate power usage billing and cost allocation across departments or clients.
Can this PDU be used in an Australian data centre?
Yes. The APC NetShelter 560P6 supports both 400V 63A and 415V 60A input configurations, which aligns with Australian three-phase power standards. It carries RCM certification for Australia and is compatible with international standards (UL, CE, CSA, UKCA).
What is the advantage of combination outlets?
The 4-in-1 combination outlets can function as C13, C15, C19, or C21 connectors without adapters. This flexibility allows you to connect different types of equipment (servers, PDUs, switches) to a single outlet, maximising rack space and reducing the need for separate PDU models.
How does cascading work with multiple PDUs?
You can cascade up to 32 PDUs together using the network port sharing (NPS) feature. This allows them to share a single network connection whilst remaining individually metered, reducing network port consumption and simplifying power management across multi-rack deployments.
What happens if the NMC3 card fails?
The NMC3 card is live-swappable, meaning you can replace it without powering down the PDU. This minimises downtime and ensures continuous power distribution to your equipment even during card replacement or troubleshooting.
Can I monitor environmental conditions like temperature and humidity?
Yes. The PDU has two environmental sensor ports for optional sensors (sold separately). These allow you to monitor conditions such as temperature and humidity, which can be integrated into EcoStruxure IT for comprehensive data centre oversight.
What management interfaces are available?
The NMC3 card provides web browser, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), and command-line interface (CLI) access. This allows remote configuration, monitoring, and integration with third-party data centre management systems and automation platforms.
