APC by Schneider Electric Rack PDU 2G Metered-by-Outlet ZeroU AP7158B

The APC Rack PDU 2G Metered-by-Outlet ZeroU AP7158B is a compact, space-efficient power distribution unit engineered for environments requiring precise per-outlet power monitoring without consuming vertical rack space. Built on the industry-standard 2G architecture, this PDU combines three-phase 32A input capability with outlet-level metering, enabling real-time energy consumption tracking and demand visibility across individual connected devices. The zero-U form factor mounts directly to the rear of racks or power infrastructure, making it ideal for high-density deployments where rack real estate is premium.

Designed to address the rapid growth of hyperscale edge computing facilities and healthcare environments, the AP7158B provides granular power telemetry essential for optimizing infrastructure utilization and supporting predictive maintenance workflows. The per-outlet metering architecture allows IT operators to correlate power consumption with specific workloads, servers, and storage arrays, enabling data-driven capacity planning and thermal management decisions. Integration with APC management platforms facilitates automated alerting, historical reporting, and power consumption trend analysis across distributed infrastructure.

The unit's three-phase input architecture efficiently distributes power across mixed single-phase outlet loads, supporting both legacy equipment and modern high-performance computing infrastructure common in colocation, edge node, and hospital medical IT environments. Robust monitoring capabilities include real-time kW, kVA, and kVAh measurements per outlet, input-level voltage and current metrics, and configurable thresholds for proactive circuit management.

Ideal for

• Edge computing deployments requiring per-node power telemetry for cost attribution and SLA compliance across distributed locations
• Hospital and healthcare facility medical IT environments monitoring power consumption of diagnostic equipment, imaging systems, and clinical servers for regulatory compliance and demand forecasting
• High-density colocation and hyperscale data centers optimizing rack-level power allocation and identifying underutilized devices for resource consolidation
• Multi-tenant infrastructure environments performing chargeback billing and departmental power consumption accounting at the device level
• Predictive maintenance operations correlating power anomalies with device health events to enable proactive infrastructure replacement scheduling
• Network operations centers requiring real-time circuit utilization visibility to prevent overload conditions and support dynamic load balancing across PDU branches
