APC 2G Metered 15A 100-120V ZeroU 10-Outlet Rack Power Distribution Unit

The APC AP8831 is a rack power distribution unit designed to help data centers and IT environments manage power efficiently and safely. It provides 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets powered by a 100-120V, 15A input, delivering up to 1440VA to support a variety of IT equipment. This unit is ideal for balancing electrical loads across devices, reducing the risk of overloads, and ensuring stable power delivery in rack-mounted setups.

What sets this PDU apart is its real-time power monitoring capability, which lets you track current usage through an integrated digital display. You can set custom alarm thresholds to get notified before circuits become overloaded, helping prevent downtime. For added convenience, the unit supports remote management via web interfaces, SNMP, and Telnet, so you can configure and monitor power usage without needing physical access to the rack.

The AP8831 also includes ports for temperature and humidity sensors, allowing you to keep an eye on environmental conditions that could affect your equipment. Its firmware can be upgraded to add new features or improve performance over time. The vertical mounting design, known as ZeroU, saves valuable rack space by attaching to the side or rear of the rack, and the 9.8-foot power cord provides flexibility in positioning the unit within your setup.

This PDU is well suited for IT professionals managing server rooms, network closets, or any environment where reliable power distribution and monitoring are critical. Its combination of real-time data, remote access, and space-saving design makes it a practical choice for maintaining uptime and optimizing energy use.
