APC by Schneider Electric AP8868US Power Distribution Unit
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric AP8868US is a 0U vertical rack-mount Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for high-density power distribution in data centers and network closets. It provides 36 outlets to power IT equipment, ensuring reliable and efficient power delivery. This unit is ideal for environments requiring substantial power capacity within a compact footprint, supporting up to 10KW at 208V. The vertical form factor maximizes rack space, allowing for easier cable management and airflow. The AP8868US model is engineered for critical infrastructure where uptime is paramount.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed to integrate seamlessly into standard 19-inch racks. It is compatible with APC's extensive range of rack enclosures, including the NetShelter SX, NetShelter SV, and NetShelter WX series. It is also suitable for use with third-party racks that meet standard EIA-310 specifications. The 208V input voltage makes it suitable for environments with higher power requirements, common in enterprise data centers and server rooms.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a 208V, 3-phase or single-phase circuit with appropriate breaker protection (typically a 50A breaker, depending on load and local codes). The unit mounts vertically in the rear of a standard 19-inch rack, utilizing tool-less mounting features for quick deployment. Ensure adequate clearance for airflow and cable connections. The power cord is a NEMA L6-30P plug, requiring a compatible 208V/30A receptacle.
