APC IT Power Distribution Module 3 Pole 5 Wire power distribution unit (PDU)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £520.56 ex-VAT, this APC 3‑pole 5‑wire power distribution module is the kind of accessory you only buy when you already know you need exactly that form factor for an existing APC UPS/solution. It’s not “good value” in the way a generic, cheaper bar-style PDU is—because what you’re paying for here is compatibility, build quality, and the fact it’ll drop into the right setup without faffing about. If you’re expanding a monitored UPS environment and want clean, properly managed distribution, it’s a sensible purchase.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it speculatively. If your goal is simply to add sockets or tidy cabling for a rack, there are typically cheaper power distribution options that do the job. Also, “module” items like this can be expensive if you don’t already have the matching APC platform/cabinet system, or if you’re expecting it to be broadly interchangeable—APC accessories are usually picky. Buy it if you’re extending an APC UPS deployment and want the reliability/fit; skip it if you’re building a generic power setup where compatibility isn’t locked in.
