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.
