460C9W and APC?

[jkugler_apc]

We are being moved into a data center that uses 460C9W outlets. 250V, 3PH, 60A. (See image for what that plug looks like.)

We want to use the APC ZeroU PDUs. I see PDUs that are rated for the correct input/ouput, but I see no PDUs that have that kind of connector. Searching for 460C9W on the APC site returns nothing.  Are we stuck?  Or is there an adapter we can buy to convert those plugs to something we can use with APC products?

I'm going to assume that converting the 460C9W to a IEC 309 60A 3P N E (like on the Rack PDU 2G, Metered, ZeroU, 23.0kW, 240V, (30) C13

I believe 460C9W refers to the Hubbell part number and not the receptacle type. Are you looking for just metered Rack PDUs as we also have Switched and then Switched with Metering By Outlet. I know you referred to a Metered type but I wasn't sure if you knew about the other types or knew the differences.

I believe something like AP8866 will work: http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP8866

We also have information on this plug type on AP8866 -> http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/THON-8VGLSH/THON-8VGLSH_R0_EN.pdf

I believe your plug is IP67 (watertight) but there is also this note: Splashproof plugs best interconnect with splashproof connectors; however, the plugs fit watertight connectors without the ability to utilize the threaded locking feature.

Lastly, if you need these plugs to be watertight, APC can do custom orders with an IP67 plug (minimum order quantity of 100), OR we offer a policy on changing input plugs noted in the knowledge base @ http://www.apc.com/site/support/index.cfm/faq/ and refer to article ID FA156150.
