Product Features
Technical Overview
This switched PDU operates on 200-230V input voltage with a 200-208V output, compatible with standard North American three-phase power configurations. The 30A rating supports demanding equipment loads, while the 9.5-foot power cord provides flexible installation options.
Remote management is implemented through Web, SNMP, and Telnet protocols, allowing administrators to define alarm thresholds, monitor power consumption, and control individual outlets. The vertical mounting orientation and side placement conserve valuable rack space, making it ideal for full-height server cabinets.
Relevant factors for this section include PDU Type, Plug/Connector Type, Receptacle Type, Input Voltage. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The AP8641 delivers enterprise-grade power distribution with intelligent management features that enhance data center reliability and efficiency. Real-time monitoring capabilities help prevent overload situations before they cause downtime.
Zero U Space Efficiency

- Vertical mounting orientation
- Side placement in rack
- No front or rear rack space consumed
Intelligent Power Management
Remote switching and monitoring capabilities allow precise control over connected equipment. Administrators can power cycle individual devices, set power thresholds, and receive alerts for abnormal conditions.
- Individual outlet control
- Real-time load monitoring
- Alarm threshold configuration
Deployment / Use Cases
The AP8641 is engineered for data center and server room environments where reliable power distribution and remote management are critical. Its 24-outlet configuration supports dense server deployments, network equipment racks, and storage arrays.
Enterprise IT teams will appreciate the ability to remotely manage power to individual servers during maintenance windows or troubleshooting sessions. The vertical mounting makes it particularly suitable for full-height server cabinets where side-mount PDUs optimize space utilization.
High-Density Server Racks
Support multiple 1U and 2U servers with the mixed C13/C19 outlet configuration. The 30A capacity handles power-hungry equipment while remote management simplifies administration.
Network Equipment Cabinets
Power switches, routers, and other networking gear with the reliable overload protection. The vertical mounting keeps cables organized and accessible for maintenance.
Physical Profile
Designed for vertical side-mount installation, the AP8641 measures 72.01 inches in height, 2.20 inches in width, and 2.01 inches in depth. The slender profile fits neatly in standard server rack side channels without interfering with equipment installation. Weighing approximately 18.14 pounds, the PDU is substantial enough for stable mounting while remaining manageable for installation. The toolless mounting brackets simplify installation, and the vertical orientation optimizes cable management in densely populated racks.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of power plug does this PDU use?
The AP8641 uses a NEMA L6-30P plug, which is a locking 30-amp plug designed for 200-250V three-phase power systems. This plug type is commonly found in North American data centers and server rooms for higher-power equipment connections.
How many outlets does this PDU have and what types?
This PDU has 24 total outlets: 21 IEC C13 outlets and 3 IEC C19 outlets. The C13 outlets are standard for servers and networking equipment, while the C19 outlets support higher-power devices that require more current capacity.
What management capabilities does this switched PDU offer?
The AP8641 supports remote management through Web, SNMP, and Telnet protocols. This allows administrators to monitor power consumption, control individual outlets (on/off/reboot), set alarm thresholds, and integrate with management platforms like EcoStruxure IT. A 1-Year Secure Network Management Card subscription is included.
How is this PDU mounted in a server rack?
This is a 0U vertical side-mount PDU designed for installation in the side channels of server racks. It mounts vertically using the included brackets, consuming no front or rear rack space. The vertical orientation and side placement optimize space in densely populated racks.
What input voltage does this PDU support?
The AP8641 supports input voltages of 200V, 208V, and 230V, with an operating range of 200-230V AC. The output voltage is 200-208V AC, making it compatible with standard North American three-phase power configurations commonly used in data centers.
What protection features does this PDU include?
This PDU includes overload protection to prevent circuit overloads that could damage connected equipment or cause downtime. The switched design also allows remote power cycling of individual outlets, which can help resolve equipment issues without physical access to the rack.
