APC AP8862

Overview

The APC AP8862 is a metered rack power distribution unit designed to deliver reliable three-phase 208 V power to up to thirty-six devices within a compact 0U vertical rack space. Rated for 20 A and capable of supplying up to 5760 VA, it efficiently powers mixed 120 V equipment from a single circuit, making it ideal for data centers, network closets, and high-density server environments where space and power management are critical.

This unit provides real-time current monitoring both locally and remotely, allowing you to track power usage and set alarms to prevent overloads. Its slim design preserves valuable rack units and maintains airflow, while secure locking connectors and a six-foot power cord simplify installation and maintenance.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
