APC Metered 2G 20A 100-120V 24-Outlets Rack Power Distribution Unit

The APC AP8830 is a metered rack power distribution unit that helps you deliver reliable power to servers, storage arrays, and networking gear inside a standard rack. It supports 100 to 120-volt input and handles up to 20 amperes, so it fits the electrical requirements found in many North American data centers and network closets.

The unit mounts vertically in a 0U position, which keeps all 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets close to the rear of the equipment while leaving every rack space available for hardware. A 10-foot cord with a NEMA L5-20P plug reaches existing wall or floor receptacles, reducing the need for extension cords or extra cabling.

Built-in metering shows real power consumption in real time. You can set custom alarm thresholds that warn you locally and remotely before a circuit becomes overloaded, letting you avoid unplanned shutdowns. Ports for temperature and humidity sensors provide additional environmental insight, which is useful when you run high-density racks or operate in rooms without dedicated cooling.

Remote management is available through a secure web interface, SNMP, or Telnet. Whether you prefer a browser, a network management platform, or a command-line session, you can check load levels, review logs, and adjust settings without stepping into the server room.

This PDU suits IT managers who need detailed visibility and straightforward control in small server rooms, enterprise data centers, or laboratory environments where equipment changes frequently and power budgets are tight.
