APC Rack PDU 2G, Metered by Outlet με διακοπή, ZeroU, 32A, 230V, (21) C13 & (3) C19

The APC Switched Rack PDU AP8653 is a 0U rack-mount power distribution unit designed for data center and network cabinets. It provides 24 AC outlets and a fixed 3 m input cable for single-phase power distribution with a nominal input voltage of 230 V and a maximum current rating of 32 A. The unit combines switched outlet control and metering capabilities to monitor current, power and voltage at the device level and at individual outlets, and includes temperature/humidity sensor support and locking IEC receptacles for secure connections.

Advantages

The AP8653 offers per-outlet switching and metering so administrators can remotely power on, power off, or recycle individual devices and track real-time load data. Built-in current and power monitoring helps prevent circuit overloads and supports user-defined alarms. The 0U form factor preserves rack space while 24 outlets provide dense power distribution. Certified to EN standards and delivered in a rack-ready configuration with mounting brackets, locking IEC receptacles and configuration accessories, the unit facilitates secure, manageable and auditable power control.

Suitable for

• Racks and cabinets in data centers and server rooms
• Network closets and telecom equipment racks
• Environments requiring remote outlet control and power metering
• Installations that need sequence-controlled power-up or prioritized load shedding

How to use

Install the AP8653 in a compatible rack using the supplied mounting brackets in a 0U position to preserve vertical rack space. Connect the 3 m input cable to an appropriate single-phase 230 V supply rated for up to 32 A. Configure network access through the device web interface, SNMP or Telnet, and attach the optional temperature/humidity sensor if environmental monitoring is needed. Use the management interface to set outlet control permissions, power sequencing delays and alarm thresholds, and to view real-time metered values for current, voltage and active power.

Recommendations

To minimize risk of overload, verify total connected load does not exceed the 32 A maximum and use the per-outlet metering to balance loads. Implement access controls and locking IEC cords to prevent unauthorized power changes, and define power-up sequences for dependent equipment to avoid inrush current conflicts during recovery events.
