APC Metered-by-Outlet Rack PDU 2G Horizontal 1U 16A 230V 8-Outlet

The APC Metered-by-Outlet Rack PDU 2G is a 1U horizontal power distribution unit engineered for data centers requiring outlet-level power visibility and management. Each of the eight C13 outlets independently measures voltage, current, and power consumption, enabling facility managers to track power draw at the device level rather than at rack or PDU aggregation points. This architecture supports rigorous power usage effectiveness (PUE) auditing, chargeback allocation, and capacity planning initiatives mandated by enterprise and hyperscale operators.

Deployed as a Horizontal form factor, the unit mounts directly to a standard 19-inch rack rail at 1U height, positioning power connectors and outlet faces toward the front of the rack for streamlined cable management and maintenance access. The 16A input capacity at 230V (3.68 kW rated output) suits mid-to-high-density blade servers, storage arrays, and compute clusters requiring per-device power attribution without undersizing infrastructure.

The metered intelligence integrates with APC's Network Management Card (NMC) or third-party monitoring platforms via SNMP, HTTP, and modbus interfaces, centralizing power telemetry into facility management systems. Real-time outlet switching capability enables remote power cycling of individual devices, reducing mean-time-to-recovery and supporting automated failover workflows. Launched in 2021-Q4, this generation reflects enterprise demand for granular power instrumentation to meet sustainability reporting and operational visibility standards.

Ideal for

• Multi-tenant cloud data centers requiring per-customer power billing and resource allocation transparency
• High-performance computing clusters implementing automated power management and thermal-aware workload distribution
• Enterprise colocation facilities auditing PUE metrics for ISO 50001 energy management certification
• Mission-critical server rooms performing real-time power anomaly detection and predictive capacity planning
• Hybrid cloud environments enforcing chargeback models linked to actual per-application power consumption
• Hyperscale data centers integrating outlet-level telemetry into machine-learning-driven infrastructure optimization
