APC Rack PDU 2G, Metered-by-Outlet, ZeroU, 16A, 100-240V, (2 content_copy

The APC power distributor AP8459WW is a Metered-by-Outlet rack PDU of the second generation, specifically designed for use in data centers and IT infrastructures. The device enables precise energy management by measuring power consumption at each individual outlet, ensuring optimized load distribution and protection against circuit overloads. With a total power rating of 3680 W and a load capacity of 3680 VA, it provides sufficient power supply for multiple IT devices. The rack capacity is 0U, allowing vertical mounting in the rack without occupying rack space. The design is black and compact, with a height of 1829 mm, a width of 56 mm, and a depth of 51 mm.

Applications

The PDU is intended for use in data centers and server rooms where detailed energy monitoring and load control are required. The outlet-by-outlet measurement function supports planning and optimization of IT environments by providing data on power consumption patterns. This enables operators to make informed decisions regarding the sizing of power supply systems and load distribution, helping to reduce overall operating costs.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features 24 AC outlets, consisting of 21 C13 connectors and 3 C19 connectors, suitable for powering various IT devices. The outlets are equipped with locking mechanisms to ensure a secure and stable connection. The LED indicators signal the operating status and allow for quick visual inspection. The monitoring includes current, power, and voltage, enabling real-time remote monitoring of connected loads. An integrated connection for a temperature/humidity sensor is also provided to capture additional environmental data.

Technology Explained Simply

The per-outlet measurement function allows for detailed analysis of energy consumption by individual devices. The data can be retrieved via a secure web connection, SNMP, or Telnet interface, enabling centralized monitoring and control. The maximum current is 20 A, with a maximum input current per phase of 16 A. The nominal input voltage ranges from 200 to 230 V at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. The output voltage matches the input voltage. The operating temperature ranges from -5 to 45 °C, and the relative humidity during operation is 5 to 95 %.

Compatibility and Accessories

The PDU is designed for use with APC platforms such as InfraStruxure Central, Operations, Capacity, and Energy Efficiency, which enable centralized management and analysis of energy consumption data. The integrated interfaces (web, SNMP, Telnet) support integration into existing network and management systems. The use of C13 and C19 outlets ensures compatibility with a wide range of servers, switches, and other IT devices.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done vertically in the rack, without consuming any rack units (U). The compact design and vertical orientation allow for flexible placement in the server room. Installation does not require special tools, as mounting is done using standard rack rails. Power supply is via an IEC-60320-C20 connector.

Operational Advantages

Detailed energy monitoring per outlet enables more efficient operation of IT systems. The data supports decision-making regarding load distribution and sizing of power supply systems. Integrated safety features such as outlet locking and monitoring of current and voltage enhance the reliability of the IT infrastructure. Compatibility with central management platforms enables scalable and future-proof energy management.
