The APC Rack PDU 2G, model AP8881, is a zero-U metered PDU designed for use in server racks, offering robust power distribution with integrated energy monitoring. It enables active measurement, display, and logging of voltage, current, real power (kW), and energy consumption (kWh) to ensure precise load monitoring and optimization in IT infrastructures. With a maximum power capacity of 11 kW and a nominal voltage of 230 V, it provides reliable power supply to critical equipment. The PDU features 42 AC outlets — consisting of 36 C13 and 6 C19 sockets — all with locking mechanisms to ensure secure and stable connections. The LCD display provides real-time information, while customizable alarms warn of overloads, helping to prevent unintended power outages.

Device management is supported via web interface, SNMP, Command Line Interface (CLI), and EcoStruxure IT, enabling centralized monitoring and configuration. The Daisy-Chaining feature allows remote monitoring of up to four PDUs through a single IP address, enhancing network administration efficiency. A local USB port enables quick and easy on-site firmware updates. The PDU is vertically mountable, has a cable length of 1.83 m, and is powered via an IEC 309 3P+N+PE plug (16 A). The operating temperature ranges from 5 to 45 °C, with storage up to 65 °C permitted. The PDU is black, compact (height 1791 mm, width 56 mm, depth 44 mm), and weighs 6.38 kg. It is designed for use in three-phase power systems (nominal input voltage 400 V, frequency 50–60 Hz) and is ideal for data center managers seeking to optimize load distribution, capacity planning, and energy efficiency.
