APC Rack PDU 2G Metered-by-Outlet with Switching 16A 230V 20-Outlet AP8653

The APC Rack PDU 2G Metered-by-Outlet with Switching is a 20-outlet intelligent power distribution unit designed for enterprise data centers and telecommunications infrastructure requiring granular outlet-level power management. Built on APC's second-generation PDU architecture, this model combines real-time power metering at individual outlet level with remote switching capabilities, enabling dynamic load balancing and targeted equipment power cycling without manual intervention or full PDU restart.

Deployed extensively across EMEA enterprise and telecom networks, the AP8653 features IEC 60320 C13 outlets native to European and international standards environments. The 16A/230V single-phase input delivers robust capacity for mixed workload environments while the metered-by-outlet design provides visibility into consumption patterns at granular levels, supporting chargeback models and capacity planning in multi-tenant or cost-center-allocated infrastructure.

Intelligent switching fabric allows operators to control power state and cycle individual outlets remotely via network management interfaces, reducing mean-time-to-recovery for hung applications and enabling non-disruptive equipment maintenance within live rack environments.

Ideal for

• Multi-tenant data center environments requiring per-outlet billing and consumption tracking by customer or business unit
• Telecommunications central offices and exchange facilities needing reliable outlet-level power cycling for telecom equipment restart without full PDU power loss
• High-density server deployments where selective power management prevents cascading failures and enables graceful load shedding
• Remote out-of-band management scenarios where network-based outlet switching replaces manual power cycling during equipment troubleshooting
• European and EMEA enterprise facilities standardized on IEC connector formats seeking unified PDU inventory and cable compatibility
• Capacity-constrained rack power scenarios where metered outlet data informs real-time load distribution and prevents circuit overload
