It provides 24 NEMA 5-15R outlets, allowing for granular control and monitoring of power to individual devices within a server rack. This unit is essential for data center and network closet deployments requiring robust power management and overload protection for up to 30A at 200-230V input.
Compatibility
This AP8641 PDU is designed for standard 19-inch rack enclosures. It connects to power sources via a NEMA L6-30P plug, requiring a compatible 30A, 200-230V circuit. The 24 NEMA 5-15R outlets are suitable for most standard IT equipment power cords. It is certified for use in North America (UL, cUL, FCC, ICES-003) and meets RoHS compliance.
Installation Notes
The unit features a 3-meter (approx. 10 ft) cable length for flexible placement within racks. The PDU itself occupies 0U of rack space, mounting vertically alongside standard rack rails. It is equipped with overload protection to safeguard connected equipment from power surges. Operating temperature range is -5 to 45 °C, with storage from -25 to 65 °C. Relative humidity can range from 5% to 95% non-condensing during operation and storage.
