Description
The APC NetShelter Metered Rack PDU 2G (AP8870) delivers reliable, real-time power monitoring for high-density IT and data center environments. Designed for vertical 0U rack installation, this metered PDU provides accurate load visibility at the circuit level, helping operators optimize power usage, prevent overloads, and improve overall infrastructure efficiency.
Equipped with a NEMA L14-30P input plug and a versatile mix of NEMA 5-20R, IEC C13, and IEC C19 outlets, the AP8870 supports a wide range of IT equipment. Active metering with user-defined alarm thresholds enables proactive capacity planning and circuit protection, while secure network access allows monitoring through web, SNMP, or command-line interfaces. Its ultra-slim form factor, locking IEC outlets, and support for environmental sensors make it ideal for modern, space-constrained racks.
