Metered 1U PDU with 8 NEMA 5-20R outlets

The APC AP7801B is a metered rack power distribution unit that occupies one rack unit and delivers 120V power through eight NEMA 5-20R receptacles. It connects via a NEMA L5-20P plug on a 12-foot cord and supports input voltages of 100V or 120V at 50/60 Hz. The unit is cUL Listed, CSA certified and meets FCC Part 15 Class A requirements. It is built for IT environments that need local current visibility and remote load tracking.

Local display and remote monitoring under

A built-in LED load indicator and local current monitoring display show real-time draw so operators can watch sustained consumption without opening the rack. The PDU integrates with StruxureWare Data Center Expert for remote management and user-defined alarms that warn before a circuit reaches its regulatory derated limit of 16A. Firmware is flash upgradeable, allowing long-term feature updates without hardware replacement. These tools help prevent overloads during extended operation.

120V 20A branch circuit defines the practical

The output is rated at 120 volts x 20 amps, but the regulatory derated input current is 16A, so continuous loads must stay within that 16A boundary. The eight NEMA 5-20R outlets share this single branch, meaning total connected equipment cannot exceed the derated value without tripping the upstream breaker. Operating temperature range is -5 to 45 degrees Celsius, so airflow and ambient conditions must support that envelope. No higher voltage or alternative connector options are provided.

Questions about this item

How much power does the AP7801B draw when the 20 A circuit is fully loaded all day?

The unit passes up to 16 A continuously through its NEMA L5-20P plug, so heat and fan noise scale with the connected load rather than a fixed overhead.

Which inlet cable and branch-circuit breaker must already be in place for the AP7801B to operate?

A NEMA L5-20P inlet on a 12 ft cord requires a matching 20 A locking receptacle and a 20 A branch circuit rated for 120 V service.

Will the AP7801B metering and remote features work with legacy servers that only have basic IEC power cords?

Yes — the eight NEMA 5-20R outlets accept standard 5-15 or 5-20 plugs, and the local LED display plus StruxureWare integration function independently of the attached equipment age.
