APC APDU9959EU3 power distribution unit (PDU) 24 AC outlet(s) 0U Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £1,097 ex‑VAT, this APC APDU9959EU3 is the kind of PDU you buy when you *actually care about power control and uptime*, not just “having enough sockets in the rack.” APC is usually reliable on the basics (quality of switching/conditioning and solid build), and in day‑to‑day operations it tends to be a comfortable fit for server rooms, comms cabinets, and environments where you want clean, predictable power distribution rather than temporary patchwork. If you’re running managed infrastructure—multiple devices, frequent moves/adds/changes, or you need tighter control over outlets—this is the sort of unit that earns its keep quickly.

That said, it’s probably **not** great value if you only need a simple, always‑on power strip. If you’ve got one rack with stable loads and no real requirement for more granular control, you’ll likely pay a lot for features you won’t use. Also, make sure you’re buying the right style of PDU for your operational need (and not just to “tick the APC box”)—otherwise you’ll end up with a premium unit that’s underutilised. Overall: **good buy for serious, operationally managed racks**; **hard to justify for basic power distribution**.
