With integrated metering, remote monitoring, and user-defined alarms, it ensures efficient power management in mission-critical data center environments. Designed for APC NetShelter enclosures, it installs without tools, saving valuable rack space. Key Features & Benefits 10kW Load Capacity: Provides reliable high-density power distribution for modern data centers. Remote Monitoring: Access via Web, SNMP, or CLI for proactive power management. User-Defined Alarms: Prevent overloads with real-time threshold alerts. Locking IEC Receptacles: Secures power cords, reducing accidental disconnections. 0U Vertical Mount: Saves rack space and increases equipment capacity. Environmental Monitoring: Supports temperature/humidity sensors for full rack insight. Technical Deep Dive The AP8868 leverages a 3-phase 208V input with a maximum line current of 35A, delivering consistent power across 36 C13 and 6 C19 outlets. By integrating real-time kW and kWh metering, it enables precise load balancing and energy efficiency tracking. Its ultra-low-profile breakers and embedded memory enhance operational reliability by logging historical data, allowing IT teams to analyze consumption trends. The locking outlet design prevents load drops caused by accidental disconnections, a critical safeguard in high-uptime environments. The environmental monitoring port extends visibility by integrating external sensors, giving administrators real-time awareness of temperature and humidity conditions in the rack. Ideal Applications Enterprise data centers with high-density racks Colocation facilities requiring remote visibility Server rooms and network closets Industries with continuous uptime requirements such as finance, healthcare, and telecom Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: How is the AP8868 installed?A: It mounts vertically (0U) in APC NetShelter racks without tools, preserving valuable horizontal rack space.
