Apc AP8459WW Rack Pdu 2G Metered-by-outlet Pdu

Product Description

The APC - AMERICAN POWER CONVERSIO AP8459WW is a 2nd-generation rack-mounted power distribution unit (PDU) with metered-by-outlet monitoring capability. It provides individual outlet-level current metering, giving data center and IT infrastructure technicians precise visibility into power consumption at each connected load. The AP8459WW is designed for installation in standard equipment racks and cabinets, delivering organized, monitored power distribution to servers, networking gear, and other rack-mounted equipment.

This PDU is suited for enterprise data centers, server rooms, and network closets where per-outlet power monitoring is required for load balancing, capacity planning, or energy management. It fits into environments where technicians need granular data on individual device power draw without deploying separate metering hardware. The metered-by-outlet design supports both new rack builds and retrofit installations in existing infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or certified IT infrastructure technician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. De-energize the upstream circuit breaker and verify zero voltage at the supply feed before making any wiring connections. Mount the unit securely in the rack before connecting load devices to prevent mechanical stress on outlet connections. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for outlet load limits and network interface configuration.
