Overview
The APC NetShelter AP8858 is a metered rack PDU designed to provide secure, high-density power distribution for modern IT environments. With active metering, alarm thresholds, and real-time monitoring, it helps data center operators ensure load balance, avoid overloads, and optimize energy consumption.
Key Features & Benefits
- Active Metering: Real-time power monitoring improves load management.
- High Outlet Density: 18 IEC C13 and 2 IEC C19 outlets support a wide range of equipment.
- User-Defined Alarms: Alerts for potential circuit overloads reduce downtime risk.
- Remote Access: Secure Web, SNMP, and Telnet interfaces simplify management.
- Temperature/Humidity Port: Environmental monitoring enhances uptime assurance.
Technical Deep Dive
The AP8858 delivers up to 3.3kW at 208V or 3.7kW at 230V through its IEC C20 input, ensuring reliable distribution across dense racks. Its line-rated current of 16A supports medium to large server deployments without risk of breaker trips under normal conditions.
Unlike basic PDUs, the AP8858 integrates active metering technology that continuously measures energy usage. This empowers IT managers to make informed load-balancing decisions and avoid hotspots that lead to inefficiency. The locking IEC receptacles further secure connections, preventing accidental disconnections in critical uptime environments.
With ultra-low profile circuit breakers and remote management capabilities, the AP8858 aligns with APC’s centralized management platforms such as InfraStruxure Central, ensuring seamless integration into enterprise monitoring ecosystems.
Ideal Applications
- Enterprise data centers and colocation facilities
- Server racks with mixed load types
- Network closets requiring active monitoring
- High-density IT deployments with critical uptime needs
