APC by Schneider Electric AP8962US Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC AP8962US is a 20A, 208V, 3-phase switched rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for enterprise data centers and network closets. It provides remote on/off switching for individual outlets, enabling power cycling of connected IT equipment to resolve hung systems or enforce boot order. This unit is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and military installations. Its zero-U form factor ensures it occupies no rack space, maximizing density in standard 19-inch racks.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for use with APC's EcoStruxure IT management platform and StruxureWare Data Center Expert software. It integrates with APC's NetShelter SX and NetShelter SV racks. The 24 C13 outlets are standard for powering most IT equipment, including servers, switches, and storage devices. It requires a 3-phase, 208V power input and is rated for 20A circuits.

Installation Notes

The AP8962US requires a hardwired connection to a 3-phase, 208V power source with a 20A circuit breaker. The unit's zero-U design means it mounts vertically in the rear of a rack. Ensure adequate clearance for the power cord and network cable. Network connectivity is via an RJ-45 port for remote management. Torque specifications for the hardwired power input should be followed per local electrical codes.
