APC by Schneider Electric AP8865BLUX667 44-Outlets Metered Rack PDU

Introducing the APC AP8865BLUX667 Metered Rack PDU, a robust power distribution solution purpose-built for data centers, server rooms, and network closets. This 44-outlet, metered PDU from Schneider Electric’s trusted APC brand delivers reliable power protection and precise load monitoring in a compact, 0U footprint that fits cleanly into standard 19-inch racks. With a versatile outlet configuration (36 C13, 6 C19, and 2 NEMA 5-20R) and a high-quality NEMA L21-30P input, the AP8865BLUX667 is engineered to support high-density deployments while giving IT teams real-time visibility into electrical load for smarter capacity planning and improved data center efficiency.

• 44 high-capacity outlets for flexible loads: The AP8865BLUX667 provides a total of 44 outlets to accommodate diverse equipment in a single rack. The configuration includes 36 x IEC 60320 C13 outlets for common server and storage devices, 6 x IEC 60320 C19 outlets for higher-current equipment, and 2 x NEMA 5-20R receptacles for mixed equipment power needs. This mix delivers broad compatibility with modern IT gear, enabling you to consolidate power distribution within a single rack.

• Metered power monitoring for smarter management: Built-in metering delivers real-time electrical load data at the PDU level, empowering administrators to prevent overloads, optimize energy use, and improve overall data center efficiency. Accurate wattage measurements help refine capacity planning and support more informed decisions about bearing loads across racks.

• Zero-U rack-mount design for space efficiency: With a 0U footprint, this PDU maximizes rack space, leaving more room for critical equipment while maintaining a tidy, organized power distribution network. The rugged design is built to withstand constant rack-level operation in demanding environments, helping to reduce clutter and improve airflow around mounted devices.

• Robust NEMA L21-30P input for reliable power delivery: The AP8865BLUX667 utilizes a NEMA L21-30P input connector, providing a strong, high-current connection suitable for professional data-center circuits. This input configuration supports multi-wire, three-phase power delivery common in enterprise deployments, helping to ensure stable power to connected equipment even under load.

• Enhanced protection and management features: APC’s PDU design emphasizes reliability and protection, delivering controlled distribution with solid build quality and practical management capabilities. The unit supports safe handling of high-density devices and contributes to improved data-center reliability and reduced risk of power-related outages.

How to install APC by Schneider Electric AP8865BLUX667

Installing the AP8865BLUX667 is designed to be straightforward in a standard data-center rack. Prepare the rack by verifying it has adequate vertical space and airflow, and confirm that you have access to a properly rated NEMA L21-30P power source. Mount the PDU in a secure 19-inch rack location, aligning with the rack’s mounting rails and using the included hardware to fix the unit firmly in place. Once mounted, connect the NEMA L21-30P power cord to the appropriate power source. Then distribute devices to the appropriate outlets: attach high-current equipment to the C19 outlets, standard servers and storage to C13 outlets, and any compatible devices to the NEMA 5-20R receptacles as required. After all connections are made, power on the rack and verify readouts on the PDU’s display (or connected management software) to confirm proper metering and load distribution. Finally, configure any outlet groups or monitoring settings to align with your IT environment and PUE goals. Regularly review load data to optimize efficiency and prevent overload conditions as equipment density changes over time.
