Overview

The APC AP8861 Metered Rack PDU delivers reliable 5.7kW 3-phase power distribution in a 0U vertical form factor. Designed for high-density IT environments, it combines local metering with remote monitoring to safeguard against overloads while maximizing rack space efficiency.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Density Outlets: 44 total outlets (36 C13, 6 C19, 2 NEMA 5-20R) for flexible equipment support.
• Remote Monitoring: Web, SNMP, and CLI access for real-time load and energy visibility.
• Locking IEC Receptacles: Secures power cords against accidental disconnection.
• Local LCD Display: Instant view of voltage, current, and power usage.
• Environmental Monitoring: Supports external sensors for temperature and humidity tracking (sold separately).
• Zero U Design: Vertical mounting preserves rack space for core equipment.

Technical Deep Dive

The AP8861 uses PDU-level metering to provide precise load visibility. By tracking volts, amps, and kWh consumption, administrators gain actionable data to balance loads and prevent costly downtime.

Its locking IEC outlets reduce the risk of accidental power interruptions, particularly in busy data center environments. Combined with ultra-low profile circuit breakers, recovery from overload conditions is fast and seamless.

Remote manageability is built-in, with support for web browser, SNMP, and CLI interfaces. This ensures administrators can configure alerts, review historical load logs, and monitor energy use from any location.

Ideal Applications

• Data centers with mixed server and storage equipment
• High-density racks requiring maximum outlet availability
• Colocation facilities with strict uptime requirements
• Enterprise IT environments with remote management needs
