Power Distribution Unit APC AP8858EU3 20 AC-uitgangen 0U verticaal

The APC AP8858EU3 is a metered rack power distribution unit designed for vertical 0U mounting in server racks. It provides 20 AC outlets and a 3 m power cable with an IEC309-compatible plug, offering real-time monitoring of current, power and voltage with a maximum load capacity of 3680 VA. The unit includes a temperature/humidity sensor port, locking IEC receptacles, and ultra low profile circuit breakers, and supports secure access via Web, SNMP or Telnet interfaces for local and remote energy monitoring and management.

Advantages

The metered design delivers real power monitoring and user-defined alarm thresholds to help prevent circuit overloads. Its vertical 0U form factor preserves rack space while providing 20 outlets, and locking IEC connectors enhance connection security. Multiple access methods (Web, SNMP, Telnet) and compatibility with APC centralized management platforms allow centralized monitoring and configuration for load balancing and energy efficiency.

Suitable for

• Data centre racks requiring vertical 0U PDU installation
• Environments needing real-time current, voltage and power monitoring
• Server rooms where rack space preservation and secure outlet connections are required

How to use

Install the PDU vertically in a compatible 0U rack location and connect the input cable to a suitable IEC309 power source rated for the device load. Connect IT equipment to the locking IEC outlets. Configure network settings and monitoring thresholds via the Web interface, SNMP or Telnet according to your monitoring and alerting policies. Optionally connect a temperature/humidity sensor to the sensor port for environmental monitoring and integrate the PDU with APC centralized management platforms if centralized oversight is required.

Recommendations

Configure user-defined alarm thresholds for current and power, verify that the rack power source can support the 3680 VA maximum load, and use locking IEC connectors to ensure secure outlet connections. Regularly review metering data to balance loads across circuits and reduce total cost of ownership.
