APC by Schneider Electric AP8868 Power Distribution Unit

Overview

The APC AP8868 is a 10kW rack-mountable Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed to provide reliable power to IT equipment in data centers and network closets. It features a high-density outlet configuration with 36 IEC C13 and 6 IEC C19 outlets, supporting 208V 3-phase power input via a CS8365 connector. This unit is ideal for environments requiring robust power distribution for servers, network switches, and other rack-mounted devices. The AP8868 model is built for demanding enterprise deployments.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed to integrate with standard 19-inch server racks and APC's EcoStruxure IT ecosystem. It is compatible with any IT equipment requiring 208V 3-phase power and utilizing IEC C13 or C19 power cords. The CS8365 input connector is standard for higher power requirements in enterprise rack systems.

Installation Notes

The unit operates within a wide temperature range of 0 to 55°C (32 to 131°F) and relative humidity of 5% to 95% non-condensing. The power cord is 6 feet (1.83 meters) long. Ensure the input circuit breaker is rated for 35A to match the PDU's maximum line current. Proper ventilation within the rack is critical to maintain optimal operating temperatures and ensure longevity.
