AP8831

Rack PDU – 2G Metered, Zero-U, 20A, 100–120V, 16×C13 + 4×C19 Outlets

The APC AP8831 is a second-generation (2G) Metered Zero-U Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) engineered to deliver precise outlet-level monitoring, high-capacity power delivery, and rack-space efficiency for modern server environments. Designed to support mission-critical systems in data centers, network closets, and edge locations, this vertical, side-mount PDU features real-time energy metering that empowers administrators to track and manage power consumption per rack or per outlet. With robust build quality and intelligent monitoring features, the AP8831 supports smarter capacity planning, energy efficiency, and improved reliability for professional IT deployments.

Features

Built for high-density rack deployments, the AP8831 mounts vertically to rack uprights without occupying usable rack U-space, preserving valuable installation real estate. Its 20A 100–120V input supports heavy power loads yet maintains compatibility with standard site electrical infrastructure. The PDU delivers power through sixteen locking IEC C13 outlets and four locking IEC C19 outlets—enough to service a wide range of servers, switches, storage units, and blade systems.

Advanced Options

Each outlet group can be monitored in real time, enabling administrators to track kW usage, kWh consumption, current, voltage, and load capacity. This granular visibility supports proactive decision-making—such as load balancing, capacity forecasting, and early detection of overloaded circuits. Management is available both locally via a clear LCD display and remotely through secure web access, SNMP, Telnet, or EcoStruxure IT integration. Engineered with features like low-profile breakers to prevent cable snagging, a temperature/humidity sensor port, hot-swappable management modules, and USB/firmware flash ports, the AP8831 ensures both operational flexibility and future readiness. Its sturdy construction, conformal coatings, and comprehensive certifications make it a reliable backbone for demanding IT infrastructure.
