APC Rack PDU 2G, Metered by Outlet with Switching, ZeroU, 20A/208V, 16A/230V, (21) C13 & (3) C19

The APC Metered Rack PDU 2G is a zero‑U metered power distribution unit designed for vertical mounting in server racks. It provides 24 AC outlets (21 x C13 and 3 x C19) and supports a nominal input voltage of 200–230 V with a maximum current rating of 16 A. The unit offers remote current, power and voltage monitoring and includes switched outlet functionality with outlet lock and power recycling features for controlled rebooting of connected equipment.

Advantages

This switched, metered rack PDU enables per‑outlet control and metering, allowing administrators to monitor real‑time load values and perform remote outlet on/off and power‑recycle operations. Built‑in power sequencing and user‑defined alarms help avoid circuit overload during power recovery and protect critical equipment. The zero‑U form factor preserves rack space while the design supports integration with secure Web, SNMP and Telnet interfaces as well as APC centralized management platforms.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring outlet‑level metering and control
• Remote or distributed IT installations where remote reboot and outlet lock are needed
• Environments that need power sequencing and prioritized load shedding during power events
• Racks where vertical/zero‑U mounting is preferred to save space

Key specifications

• Monitoring: Current, power and voltage metering per outlet
• Interfaces: Web, SNMP, Telnet; compatible with APC centralized management platforms

How to use

Mount the PDU vertically in the rack using the recommended zero‑U installation points. Connect the PDU to a compatible supply within the 200–230 V nominal range and ensure the supply can provide the required current up to 16 A. Use the secure Web, SNMP or Telnet interface to configure network settings, enable per‑outlet control, set power sequencing delays and define alarm thresholds. Assign outlet locks and use the power‑recycle function to remotely reboot individual devices when needed.

Recommendations

Configure user‑defined alarms and power sequencing before placing critical equipment on the PDU, and monitor current values to avoid exceeding branch circuit limits. Integrate the unit with APC management tools for centralized monitoring and change control.
