Overview

The APC AP8868 Metered Rack PDU is a high-density, 0U vertical power distribution solution engineered to deliver 10kW at 208V. With integrated metering, remote monitoring, and user-defined alarms, it ensures efficient power management in mission-critical data center environments. Designed for APC NetShelter enclosures, it installs without tools, saving valuable rack space.

Key Features & Benefits

• 10kW Load Capacity: Provides reliable high-density power distribution for modern data centers.
• Remote Monitoring: Access via Web, SNMP, or CLI for proactive power management.
• User-Defined Alarms: Prevent overloads with real-time threshold alerts.
• Locking IEC Receptacles: Secures power cords, reducing accidental disconnections.
• 0U Vertical Mount: Saves rack space and increases equipment capacity.
• Environmental Monitoring: Supports temperature/humidity sensors for full rack insight.

Technical Deep Dive

The AP8868 leverages a 3-phase 208V input with a maximum line current of 35A, delivering consistent power across 36 C13 and 6 C19 outlets. By integrating real-time kW and kWh metering, it enables precise load balancing and energy efficiency tracking.

Its ultra-low-profile breakers and embedded memory enhance operational reliability by logging historical data, allowing IT teams to analyze consumption trends. The locking outlet design prevents load drops caused by accidental disconnections, a critical safeguard in high-uptime environments.

The environmental monitoring port extends visibility by integrating external sensors, giving administrators real-time awareness of temperature and humidity conditions in the rack.

Ideal Applications

• Enterprise data centers with high-density racks
• Colocation facilities requiring remote visibility
• Server rooms and network closets
• Industries with continuous uptime requirements such as finance, healthcare, and telecom
