Rack PDU for 1U server rows

The APC AP7821B is a metered power distribution unit built for 1U rack mounting. It accepts 200V, 208V or 230V input at 50 or 60 Hz and distributes power through eight IEC 320 C13 outlets. The unit is certified to cUL, CE, CSA, FCC Part 15 Class A and other international standards.

Metered monitoring with 16 A derated input

Real-time remote load monitoring lets operators track current draw on each phase. User-defined alarms signal potential overloads before equipment trips. The regulatory derated input current is 16 A while the maximum input current reaches 20 A through an IEC-320 C20 inlet on an 8.2-foot cord.

Horizontal 1U form factor with eight C13 outlets

The horizontal 1U chassis fits standard EIA racks and operates from -5 °C to 45 °C at up to 95 % relative humidity. Eight C13 outlets suit typical server and network gear power cords. Storage tolerances extend to -25 °C and 65 °C with humidity up to 95 %.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 1U metered PDU in a standard rack and which step is often missed?

Use the included brackets to secure the unit in a 1U space, then plug the IEC-320 C20 inlet into a 20 A branch circuit; the step often missed is confirming the 16 A derated limit before loading outlets.

What ongoing checks does the AP7821B require after installation?

Monitor the real-time current display to keep total draw under 16 A, verify that alarms remain clear, and inspect the C13 outlets and 8.2 ft cord for wear during scheduled rack maintenance.

At what load does the PDU hit its first hard limit during sustained operation?

The regulatory derated input current of 16 A is the first hard limit; exceeding it trips the upstream breaker even though the inlet and cord are rated for 20 A.
