APC Metered-by-Outlet Rack PDU 2G ZeroU 5.7kW 208V

The APC AP8461 is a metered-by-outlet rack power distribution unit that delivers up to 5.7 kW of power at 208 V, giving each server or network device a stable and trackable power feed. By measuring consumption at every outlet, it helps data center teams see exactly where energy is going, balance loads with confidence, and prevent accidental overloads before they happen.

This unit mounts vertically in the zero U space of a 70-inch rack, so it adds monitoring and distribution capability without sacrificing rack units that could hold revenue-generating equipment. Twenty-one IEC C13 and three IEC C19 locking receptacles keep power cords firmly in place, a practical advantage in high-traffic or vibration-prone environments where accidental unplugging is costly.

Remote visibility comes through secure Web, SNMP, or Telnet access, and the PDU links smoothly with APC management platforms such as InfraStruxure Central, Operations, Capacity, and Energy Efficiency. A dedicated port accepts a temperature or humidity sensor, allowing environmental conditions to be monitored alongside electrical data for a fuller picture of rack health.

Colocation providers, enterprise data centers, and edge computing sites that need granular insight into power usage will appreciate how easily this PDU fits into existing workflows. With real-time metrics and integrated management, it supports informed capacity planning, energy-efficiency initiatives, and rapid troubleshooting when every minute counts.
