APC BY SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC

APC by Schneider Electric is a product line within Schneider Electric's portfolio focused on power protection and rack infrastructure for information technology and industrial control equipment. The brand originated with American Power Conversion, founded in 1981, which built its early reputation on uninterruptible power supplies for early computer systems. Schneider Electric acquired APC in 2007 and integrated it into its critical power and cooling business. Today the APC line spans UPS systems, rack power distribution units (PDUs), rack cooling accessories, and power cords, along with related environmental monitoring and management software. The products are used wherever continuous power and organized power distribution are required: data centers, network closets, server rooms, industrial control cabinets, and laboratory or instrumentation racks. For technical buyers, the relevant qualities are the electrical and mechanical specifications rather than brand claims. APC PDUs are available in metered and non-metered variants, with input voltages including 120V AC and 230V AC, plug types such as NEMA 5-15P, NEMA 5-20P, NEMA L5-20P, NEMA L5-30P, and NEMA L6-30P, and receptacle types including NEMA 5-15R, NEMA 5-20R, C13, and C19. Outlet counts range from 10 to 24 in the standard PDU configurations, with horizontal or vertical rack mounting and front-facing outlet orientation. Power cords are offered with SJT rubber jackets, 3/12 gauge conductors, and combinations such as NEMA 5-20P to C19 or C20 to C13, in lengths around 6.5 to 8.25 feet. Rack cooling accessories include air distribution fans rated at 503 cfm at 0.000 in static pressure, operating on 120V AC and designed for rack mounting to improve airflow and reduce hot spots. These specifications matter for matching branch circuit capacity, plug and receptacle compatibility, and airflow requirements in enclosed racks. 3G Electric supplies the APC by Schneider Electric line as part of its industrial equipment catalog, with 55 SKUs currently listed across UPS systems, PDUs, and power cords. The catalog includes standard PDUs, rack cooling fans, and electronic equipment power cords, with specifications such as voltage, outlet count, plug type, receptacle type, cord length, gauge, and jacket material listed per SKU. For procurement and maintenance teams, 3G Electric provides a way to source these components alongside other industrial power and control products, with the ability to compare specifications across SKUs and request quotes for specific part numbers. The product data is presented in a consistent format so that engineers can verify compatibility with existing rack infrastructure before ordering. Because APC products are widely deployed in IT and industrial environments, replacement and expansion often require matching existing plug, receptacle, and mounting configurations; the catalog structure supports that by exposing the relevant attributes for each item.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about APC BY SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between the APC by Schneider Electric metered and non-metered PDUs?

Metered PDUs include a local display or network interface that reports current draw per phase or per outlet, allowing capacity planning and load balancing. Non-metered PDUs, such as the AP9564 and AP7530 listed by 3G Electric, distribute power without local metering. Both types are available in horizontal or vertical rack-mount configurations with various input plugs and outlet types. The choice depends on whether you need to monitor power consumption at the rack level or simply distribute power to connected equipment.

What input and outlet configurations are available for APC by Schneider Electric standard PDUs?

APC standard PDUs in the 3G Electric catalog include models with 120V AC or 230V AC input. Examples include the AP7541 with a NEMA L6-30P plug and 24 outlets (20 C13 and 4 C19), the AP9564 with a NEMA L5-20P plug and 10 NEMA 5-20R outlets, and the AP7530 with a NEMA L5-20P plug and 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets. Mounting can be horizontal or vertical, with front-facing outlets. Buyers should match the PDU input plug to the available branch circuit receptacle and confirm outlet types match equipment power cords.

What are the specifications of the APC by Schneider Electric ACF001 rack cooling fan?

The ACF001 air distribution fan operates on 120V AC and delivers 503 cfm at 0.000 in static pressure. It is designed for rack mounting to improve airflow and reduce hot spots within equipment racks. The fan is part of the APC rack cooling accessory line and is typically used in enclosed racks where passive convection is insufficient. When selecting a fan, consider the rack's thermal load, available rack units, and power source. The 503 cfm rating is measured at zero static pressure, so actual airflow will be lower when installed in a rack with impedance.

What lengths and connector types are available for APC by Schneider Electric power cords?

APC power cords in the 3G Electric catalog include models such as the AP9873, an 8.25 ft cord with a NEMA 5-20P plug and C19 receptacle, and the AP9879, a 6.5 ft cord with a C20 plug and C13 receptacle. Both use 3/12 gauge conductors with SJT rubber jackets. These cords are used to connect equipment to PDUs or wall outlets where the standard cord is too short or the connector type does not match. Verify the plug and receptacle types against your power source and equipment inlet before ordering.

How do I select an APC by Schneider Electric PDU for a rack with mixed C13 and C19 equipment?

For mixed equipment, choose a PDU that provides both C13 and C19 outlets. The AP7541, for example, has 20 C13 and 4 C19 receptacles with a NEMA L6-30P input plug at 230V AC. This allows connecting servers, switches, and other devices with C14 inlets to C13 outlets, and higher-power equipment with C20 inlets to C19 outlets. Confirm the total connected load does not exceed the PDU's input current rating and that the branch circuit can supply the required voltage and amperage.

What should I check before ordering an APC by Schneider Electric PDU from 3G Electric?

Verify the input voltage and plug type match your power source, the outlet types and counts match your equipment cords, and the mounting orientation (horizontal or vertical) fits your rack. Also confirm the PDU's current rating is adequate for the connected load. The 3G Electric catalog lists specifications such as voltage, outlets, plug type, receptacle type, and mounting for each SKU. If you need a specific manufacturer part number, include it in your quote request to ensure an exact match.
