APC by Schneider Electric AP8868US Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP8868US is a 0U vertical rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed to deliver 10kW of power to critical IT equipment in enterprise data centers and network closets. Its vertical form factor maximizes rack space, essential in high-density environments. This unit provides 36 outlets, distributing 208V power to servers, switches, and storage devices. The AP8868US is a foundational component for reliable power delivery in any managed IT infrastructure.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for standard 19-inch racks and is compatible with APC's extensive line of NetShelter racks and enclosures. It is suitable for deployment with any standard 208V IT equipment requiring IEC C13 and C19 connections. While not specific to any single surveillance brand, it supports the power infrastructure needs of rack-mounted NVRs, servers, and network switches used in surveillance systems.

Installation Notes

The AP8868US mounts vertically in standard 19-inch racks, occupying 0U space. It requires a 208V, 3-phase input power connection. Ensure the circuit breaker feeding the PDU is rated appropriately for the 10kW load (approximately 48A at 208V, 3-phase). Proper grounding is essential for safety and equipment protection. Torque specifications for the input power connection should be followed per Schneider Electric guidelines.
