APC by Schneider Electric APF9896-2UX960 Metered Rack PDU
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric APF9896-2UX960 is a 2U metered rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for high-density IT environments. It provides granular power monitoring at the PDU level, enabling you to track real-time power consumption and manage load balancing effectively. This unit is essential for data centers and server rooms requiring precise power delivery and visibility to prevent overloads and optimize energy usage. The APF9896-2UX960 model is specified for 400V/63A or 415V/60A input, offering substantial power capacity for demanding equipment racks.
Compatibility
This rack PDU is designed for integration into standard 19-inch server racks. Its primary compatibility is with APC's EcoStruxure IT management platform, allowing for centralized monitoring and control. It is suitable for use with a wide range of IT equipment that utilizes C13 and C19 power connectors, including servers, network switches, storage arrays, and other critical infrastructure components. Ensure your facility's power infrastructure (e.g., circuit breakers, wiring) matches the PDU's input voltage and amperage ratings (400V/63A or 415V/60A).
Installation Notes
Installation requires a qualified electrician to connect the PDU to the appropriate power source, ensuring compliance with local electrical codes and safety standards. The unit occupies 2U of vertical rack space. Proper airflow management within the rack is critical to ensure the PDU and connected equipment operate within their specified temperature ranges. The PDU's input connector type should be verified against available power circuits.
