Overview
The APC NetShelter AP8831 is a metered rack PDU designed for precise power distribution in data center environments. With 15A capacity, 0U vertical form factor, and 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets, it provides reliable power to critical IT hardware while offering real-time metering, circuit protection, and secure remote management options.
Key Features & Benefits
- Metered Power Distribution: Enables load balancing and helps prevent overloads through accurate monitoring.
- 10 NEMA 5-15R Outlets: Supports multiple network devices in one rack PDU.
- User-Defined Thresholds: Provides local and remote alerts to minimize downtime risks.
- Remote Management: Configurable via Web, SNMP, or Telnet for full visibility.
- Low-Profile Circuit Breakers: Enhance safety while conserving rack space.
- Integrated Sensor Port: Supports temperature and humidity monitoring.
Technical Deep Dive
The AP8831 leverages APC’s metering technology, which actively tracks real-time power usage across connected outlets. This allows data center managers to right-size loads and improve energy efficiency without the risk of tripped circuits.
Its vertical 0U form factor ensures that no valuable rack space is consumed, while the NEMA 5-15P input and 10 NEMA 5-15R outputs deliver 15A at 120V with a total load capacity of 1440 VA. The integrated sensor port extends visibility by allowing temperature and humidity monitoring.
With remote access enabled via secure Web, SNMP, or Telnet interfaces, IT staff can monitor and control the PDU from anywhere, supporting consistent uptime and reduced operational overhead.
Ideal Applications
- Data centers requiring accurate energy usage tracking
- Network closets and server rooms with dense IT deployments
- Remote branch offices needing centralized power monitoring
- Enterprise environments with strict uptime requirements
