FAQ
What is the total power capacity of the AP8865 PDU?
The APC AP8865 provides 8.6kW of power capacity with a 208V 3-phase 30A input. This substantial capacity supports high-density server racks and networking equipment in data center environments, delivering both 120V and 208V AC output to accommodate various device requirements.
How many outlets does this rack PDU have and what types are included?
This PDU features 44 total outlets with a mixed configuration: 36 C13 outlets, 6 C19 outlets, and 2 NEMA 5-20R outlets. This combination supports a wide range of server, networking, and peripheral equipment commonly found in data center racks, providing flexibility for different power cord types.
What rack space does the AP8865 consume during installation?
The AP8865 is a 0U vertical side-mount PDU that installs on the side of standard 19-inch server racks without consuming any rack units. This design preserves all front and rear rack space for equipment while providing full-height power distribution along the 70.51-inch vertical dimension.
What monitoring capabilities does this metered PDU offer?
This metered PDU provides real-time monitoring of voltage, current, kilowatts, and kilowatt-hours with ±3% accuracy. The interactive LCD displays these measurements locally, while SNMP and Telnet protocols enable remote monitoring through network management systems like EcoStruxure IT. The embedded log memory stores historical data for analysis.
What input power connection does the AP8865 require?
The AP8865 uses a NEMA L21-30P connector for 208V 3-phase 30A input power. This industrial-grade connector is standard for three-phase power distribution in data centers and supports the unit's 8.6kW capacity. The included 6-foot power cord provides installation flexibility relative to power sources.
What management features help prevent circuit overloads?
The AP8865 allows administrators to define custom alarm thresholds for current, voltage, and power consumption. When measurements approach these limits, the system can trigger alerts via the network management interface, enabling proactive load balancing or equipment redistribution before overload conditions occur. The overload protection circuitry provides additional hardware safety.
