APC AP8441 Metered-by-Outlet Rack Power Distribution Unit 200/208V
Overview
The APC AP8441 is a metered-by-outlet rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed for structured AC power distribution and detailed load monitoring in data center and enterprise rack environments. It is deployed by data center electrical engineers, network administrators, and IT infrastructure teams to distribute three-phase utility power while providing individual outlet metering, enabling precise visibility into power usage per device. This PDU does not provide UPS backup or surge suppression; its role is to supply and monitor AC power to connected equipment.
This model accepts 200 V / 208 V / 230 V AC input and supports a 30 A continuous current rating via a NEMA L6-30P plug, yielding approximately 4.99 kVA total load capacity. Power is distributed through 24 IEC outlets × 21 IEC 60320 C13 and 3 IEC 60320 C19 × accommodating racks with a mix of servers, switches, storage arrays, and other devices requiring quality 208 V power feeds.
The unit installs in a zero-U vertical rack-mount orientation, conserving horizontal rack space and mounting along the side of standard 19-inch enclosures. It includes an integrated ~10 ft (3 m) power cord and mounting brackets for secure installation.
Advanced metering capabilities deliver per-outlet real-time monitoring of current, voltage, and power metrics accessible through standard interfaces such as Web, SNMP, and Telnet. User-defined alarm thresholds and local indicators help operations teams identify potential overload conditions, assist with capacity planning, and support energy-aware equipment deployment strategies.
This PDU is suited for data center power distribution racks, core networking cabinets, and high-density compute racks where granular outlet monitoring and management are required. It is not appropriate for environments that require UPS backup power or single-phase 120 V distribution without upstream transformers or step-down devices.
