Switched Rack PDU 12.5 kW 208 V

The APC AP7998B is a switched rackmount power distribution unit designed for data-centre and server-room deployments. It delivers 12.5 kW at 208 V through twenty-one IEC 320 C13 outlets and three IEC 320 C19 outlets. Each outlet can be remotely switched on or off for outlet-level power control. A 10.0-foot cord with a CS8365 plug connects to the facility supply.

Upgrade from basic or metered PDUs

This unit replaces non-switched PDUs when administrators need remote reboot capability and outlet-level monitoring without visiting the rack. The jump is worth it when managing dense 1U or blade servers that benefit from sequenced power-on or scheduled shutdowns. It also adds overload protection across all twenty-four outlets.

Capacity and headroom

The 12.5 kW rating at 208 V supports full-height rack loads with twenty-one C13 and three C19 connections for mixed-density equipment. Headroom exists until the combined draw approaches the 12.5 kW limit or the CS8365 input rating. The zero-U vertical form factor fits 70.00-inch tall racks without consuming horizontal mounting space.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and zero-U space does the 70.00-inch AP7998B require?

The unit is 70.00 inches tall, 2.20 inches wide and 3.50 inches deep, so it fits a full-height zero-U channel in a standard 19-inch rack with at least 3.50 inches of clear depth behind the mounting rails.

Which input connector must match the facility outlet before wiring the CS8365 plug?

The PDU ships with a 10.0-foot cord terminated in a CS8365 connector rated for 208V at 50/60 Hz; verify the receptacle is a matching CS8365 before installation.

When should the internal over-current protection be inspected after a trip event?

The built-in overload protection will trip on excess current; after any trip, inspect the branch circuit and reset the PDU before restoring power to the 21 C13 and 3 C19 outlets.
