APC NetShelter Automatic Transfer Switch AP4450A 15A 100/120V 1440VA 10 outlets

SKU CH-WPXS-08ERB MPN AP4450A

Rack automatic transfer switch provides redundant power to single-corded equipment with 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets, 15 A rating, 100/120 V input and 1440 VA load capacity

  • Redundant power for single-corded equipment
  • 15 A rated current with 12 A derated input
  • 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets for rack devices
  • Dual NEMA 5-15P inlets for source redundancy
  • Secure Web UI, SNMP and CLI management

Rack Automatic Transfer Switch for Single-Corded

The APC NetShelter AP4450A supplies redundant power to single-corded equipment inside a standard 1U rack space. It accepts two NEMA 5-15P inputs and distributes power through ten NEMA 5-15R outlets rated at 15 amps and 100/120 volts with a 1440 VA load capacity. Network management card NMC3 enables secure Web UI, SNMP and CLI access plus EcoStruxure IT compatibility.

Upgrade from Single-Source Power Strips

The jump is worth it when a single power path creates a failure point for critical servers or network gear. Dual-input automatic switching removes that risk without requiring dual-corded power supplies in the connected devices. Regulatory derated input current is 12 amps for North American installations.

Verify Rack Space Input Plugs and Outlet Count

Confirm the rack has a 1U slot and that both upstream circuits use NEMA 5-15P plugs. Count the devices you will connect to ensure ten NEMA 5-15R outlets are sufficient. The unit is built for 100/120 volt single-phase environments only.

Questions about this item

What rack space and inlet plugs does the AP4450A need?

It fits a 1U rack slot and requires two NEMA 5-15P inlet cords to be connected to separate power sources.

How do you install the AP4450A and what step is often missed?

Mount the 1U unit in the rack, plug both NEMA 5-15P inlets into independent circuits, then connect up to ten loads to the NEMA 5-15R outlets; the step often missed is verifying that each inlet is on a truly separate branch circuit.

What component will need replacement down the road on the AP4450A?

The internal battery inside the NMC3 management card will eventually need replacement to keep the clock and configuration during power loss.
