APC Metered Rack PDU AP8886RED — 3-phase 400V, 22 kW, IEC 60309 input, 42 outlets (30×C13, 12×C19), Ethernet/RS-232/USB, 0U, red

The APC Metered Rack PDU AP8886RED delivers three-phase 400 V power distribution for rack-mounted equipment, rated for up to 22 kW. Housed in a 0U form factor and finished in red, this unit accepts an IEC 60309 3P+N+E input and provides 42 IEC 60320 outlets — 30 C13 and 12 C19 — to serve a variety of IT devices. Integrated network and management interfaces include 10/100 Ethernet, RS-232 and USB for remote monitoring and metering of power usage. The PDU is intended for data centre and server-rack environments where consolidated, metered power distribution and convenient management are required.

Advantages

The AP8886RED provides consolidated three-phase power distribution in a compact 0U package, enabling high-density outlet count without occupying valuable rack space. Metering capability combined with Ethernet, RS-232 and USB interfaces enables remote monitoring and integration with existing infrastructure management systems. The mix of 30 C13 and 12 C19 outlets supports a broad range of servers, switches and network devices while the IEC 60309 input ensures a secure, industrial-grade connection for 400 V power sources.

Suitable for

• Data centre server racks requiring metered, three-phase 400 V power distribution
• Colocation facilities and network cabinets with mixed C13/C19 equipment
• Environments needing remote power monitoring and basic control via Ethernet, RS-232 or USB
• High-density racks where a 0U PDU is preferred to preserve U space

How to use

Install the PDU in the rack vertical space designed for 0U devices and secure per rack manufacturer instructions. Connect the inlet to a compatible IEC 60309 three-phase 400 V supply with appropriate circuit protection and grounding. Plug IT equipment into the C13 and C19 outlets according to device power requirements. Configure network settings using the Ethernet, RS-232 or USB interface to enable metering and monitoring; follow the APC management documentation for network configuration, SNMP setup or serial console access. Regularly review metered data to balance loads and prevent circuit overload.

Usage recommendations

Ensure upstream circuit protection is sized for the PDU’s 22 kW capacity and that installation is performed by qualified personnel. Use the metering and network interfaces to monitor phase balance and per-rack consumption trends; distribute high-draw devices across C19 outlets where appropriate to maintain reliable operation.
