APC Metered 2G 0U 120/208V 20A 3-Phase 36-Outlets Rack Power Distribution Unit

The APC AP8862 is a second-generation metered rack power distribution unit that brings three-phase 208 V input to up to thirty-six devices in a single vertical 0U space. It is built for data centers and network closets that need clear insight into power usage without sacrificing valuable rack units.

With a 20 A rating and a maximum output of 5760 VA, the unit feeds thirty-six NEMA 5-20R outlets from a NEMA L21-20P plug. This arrangement lets you power mixed 120 V equipment from a single 208 V three-phase circuit, helping you consolidate loads and simplify cable runs.

Integrated metering shows real-time current draw on the local display and through remote interfaces. By setting user-defined alarm thresholds, you can catch potential overloads before they trip a breaker. Remote access is available through Web, SNMP, or Telnet, so you can track consumption trends, generate reports, or trigger alerts directly from your management platform.

The AP8862 fits naturally in high-density server rows, edge computing racks, and lab environments where every outlet counts and downtime is not an option. Facilities already using APC’s InfraStruxure or similar monitoring suites can fold the unit into existing dashboards for a unified view of energy use.

A slim vertical housing keeps airflow unobstructed, and secure locking connectors guard against accidental disconnects during maintenance. The six-foot power cord provides room to route the plug cleanly to overhead or under-floor supply whips.

Highlights:

• Mounts vertically in 0U rack space, preserving all rack units for equipment
• NEMA L21-20P plug accepts 208 V three-phase input and supports 20 A loads
• Delivers 120 V output to thirty-six NEMA 5-20R outlets
• 5760 VA maximum capacity handles dense server or network deployments
• Local meter with alarm thresholds displays real-time load information
• Remote monitoring through Web, SNMP, and Telnet simplifies management
• Port for optional temperature and humidity sensor adds environmental insight
• Six-foot power cord and slim black enclosure ease rack installation
