Key Features & Benefits

• Active Metering: Provides real-time power data for improved load balancing and energy management.
• User-Defined Alarms: Alerts administrators of potential overloads to prevent downtime.
• 24 NEMA 5-20R Outlets: High outlet density ensures connectivity for multiple rack-mounted devices.
• Remote Access: Secure Web, SNMP, and Telnet interfaces streamline monitoring and configuration.
• Low-Profile Circuit Breakers: Safeguards equipment without sacrificing rack space efficiency.

Technical Deep Dive

The AP8830 operates on a 20A input at 100–120V, delivering up to 1920 VA of load capacity. Its integrated active metering continuously monitors power consumption, enabling data-driven insights into rack-level energy use. This functionality assists data center managers in right-sizing IT equipment and optimizing total cost of ownership.

The inclusion of secure remote interfaces—Web, SNMP, and Telnet—allows administrators to access and configure the PDU from anywhere. Combined with APC’s centralized management platforms such as InfraStruxure Central, Operations, Capacity, and Energy Efficiency, this ensures full visibility of power usage and system health.

Equipped with 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets, the PDU maintains secure connectivity while reducing the risk of accidental disconnections. Its ultra-low-profile breakers provide additional protection with minimal rack footprint.

Ideal Applications

• Data center racks with dense server deployments
• Network closets and distribution environments
• Branch offices requiring energy monitoring
• IT managers seeking advanced load management
