AP8830

Rack PDU – 2G Metered, Zero‑U, 20 A, 100–120 V, 24×NEMA 5‑20R

The APC AP8830 is a second-generation Zero‑U metered Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU), designed to maximize rack space and provide precise energy insights for dense IT environments. With a vertical, side-mount design that takes up no usable U-space, this PDU offers 24 locking NEMA 5‑20R outlets fed from a single 20 A, 100–120 V input. Ideal for data centers, telecom closets, and edge racks, it enables real-time monitoring of power draw, proactive load management, and improved operational efficiency. Whether deployed in server stacks or network racks, the AP8830 delivers essential visibility and rack-level control.

Features

The AP8830 provides high-capacity power to demanding rack equipment while maintaining intuitive control over power utilization. Supporting a 20 A NEMA L5‑20P input and delivering up to 1920 VA across its outlets, it’s suitable for powering servers, storage systems, switches—even dense blade chassis setups. Each outlet is locking, ensuring secure cable retention even in vibration-prone environments.Monitoring is a core strength: the integrated metering system enables real-time kW/kWh, current, and voltage tracking. Administrators can set customized alarm thresholds to catch circuit overload early, avoid downtime, and optimize energy usage. Remote management is supported via a secure embedded web interface, SNMP, and Telnet—integrating smoothly with APC’s EcoStruxure platforms. A local LCD displays current load readings and status alerts for quick on-rack visibility.

Advanced Options

Designed for performance and convenience, the AP8830 includes low-profile hydraulic breakers to prevent cable interference, a front-facing temperature/humidity sensor port to complement overall environmental management, and a flash-upgradable firmware to ensure continued functionality with evolving requirements. It’s built to withstand demanding operations and deliver lasting uptime.
