Product Features
Technical Overview
This Rack PDU 2G metered model delivers 17.30 kVA of power capacity, converting 400V input to 240V AC output for efficient distribution. The unit incorporates metering with ±3% accuracy for amps, volts, kW, and kWh, enabling precise capacity planning and load balancing across circuits. Management is handled through standard protocols including SNMP, Telnet, and web interfaces, with real-time remote monitoring accessible via EcoStruxure IT and the Secure NMC3 platform.
Physical construction includes a black tower design measuring 72.01" in height, 2.20" in width, and 2.01" in depth, with a weight of approximately 21.16 lb. The vertical mounting orientation and side placement allow for toolless installation in standard 19-inch racks without consuming rack units. A 6-foot power cord provides flexible connectivity, while the IEC 60309 30A 3P+N+E plug ensures secure input connection.
Key Product Advantages
High-Density Power Distribution
With 42 total outlets (30 C13 and 12 C19), this PDU supports extensive equipment deployments while maintaining organized power delivery. The 17.3kW capacity ensures ample power for high-demand servers and networking devices in colocation or enterprise data centers.
Intelligent Monitoring & Alerts
The metered design provides real-time visibility into power consumption with ±3% accuracy. User-defined alarms help prevent circuit overloads, while SNMP, Telnet, and web management protocols enable remote monitoring and control from anywhere.
Space-Optimized Rack Design
Zero-U rack height and vertical tower form factor maximize usable rack space. The toolless installation simplifies deployment, and the side-mount placement ensures efficient airflow and cable management in dense environments.
Deployment / Use Cases
The AP8887 Rack PDU is engineered for environments where power monitoring, high outlet density, and rack space efficiency are paramount. Its 17.3kW capacity and 42 outlets make it suitable for large data centers, colocation facilities, and remote server rooms that require reliable power distribution with real-time metrics. The metered functionality allows operators to balance loads across phases, plan for expansion, and avoid unexpected circuit trips.
Typical deployments include rack-mounted server clusters, networking equipment bays, and storage arrays where multiple devices need centralized power management. The vertical tower design is particularly effective in full-height racks where side mounting preserves front and rear space for equipment and cabling. Remote management capabilities via EcoStruxure IT make this PDU ideal for unmanned or geographically dispersed sites where on-site access is limited.
Colocation & Hosting Facilities
Provides tenants with transparent power usage data and remote management, supporting SLA compliance and capacity billing. The high outlet count accommodates multi-tenant rack configurations.
Enterprise Data Centers
Enables IT teams to monitor power draw at the rack level, optimize energy efficiency, and set proactive alarms for potential overloads before they impact uptime.
Physical Profile
This PDU features a black tower form factor designed for vertical mounting on the side of standard 19-inch racks. With dimensions of 72.01" height, 2.20" width, and 2.01" depth, it maintains a slim profile that doesn't interfere with equipment installation or airflow. The zero-U rack height means it occupies no vertical rack units, preserving space for servers and switches. Weighing approximately 21.16 lb, the unit is robust yet manageable for installation. The 6-foot power cord provides sufficient reach to power sources, and the overall design supports toolless mounting for quick deployment.
