Overview
- The APC NetShelter Metered Rack PDU is a professional-grade power distribution unit engineered for data centres and critical IT environments. It combines extensive outlet density (42 total) with sophisticated metering and monitoring capabilities, enabling data centre managers to track power consumption in real time, set custom alarm thresholds, and make data-driven decisions on load balancing.
This 0U PDU integrates seamlessly into standard 19-inch racks without consuming rack space. Its real-time power monitoring, temperature and humidity sensing, and user-configurable alerts help mitigate the risk of circuit overloads and optimise total cost of ownership. The secure Web, SNMP, and Telnet interfaces allow remote management and integration with APC's centralised management platforms, including InfraStruxure Central, Operations, Capacity, and Energy Efficiency tools.
With a robust 7.4 kW capacity, locking IEC receptacles, and ultra-low-profile circuit breakers, the AP8853 delivers both protection and reliability for mission-critical power distribution. The 3-metre IEC 309 2P+E input cord and included mounting brackets enable rapid installation.

FAQs
What is the difference between a metered and non-metered PDU?
A metered PDU provides real-time monitoring of power consumption and circuit status, enabling data centre operators to track energy usage, identify overloads before they occur, and optimise load distribution. A non-metered PDU distributes power without active monitoring. The APC AP8853 metered unit helps reduce downtime, lower energy costs, and improve infrastructure planning.
Can I manage the AP8853 remotely?
Yes. The AP8853 supports secure Web, SNMP, and Telnet interfaces for remote configuration and monitoring. It integrates with APC's centralised management platforms (InfraStruxure Central, Operations, Capacity, and Energy Efficiency) for enterprise-wide power management and reporting.
How many C13 and C19 outlets does this PDU have?
The AP8853 provides 36 × IEC C13 outlets (standard 10A connections for most IT equipment) and 6 × IEC C19 outlets (16A connections for high-power devices such as servers and blade systems). This totals 42 outlets.
What is the maximum power capacity?
The AP8853 has a maximum load capacity of 7.4 kW (7400 VA) at 230V 32A single-phase input. This accommodates a full mix of standard and high-power devices across all 42 outlets.
Does the AP8853 include temperature and humidity monitoring?
Yes. The PDU features integrated sensor ports for temperature and humidity monitoring. Compatible sensors (such as the AP9335T and AP9335TH) can be connected to provide real-time environmental data and trigger alerts if conditions fall outside safe operating ranges.
What is included in the packaging?
The AP8853 includes an installation guide, rack mounting brackets, serial configuration cable, and safety guide. The PDU comes with a 3-metre IEC 309 2P+E input cord ready for installation into standard 19-inch racks.
How does the 0U design benefit my rack?
0U means the PDU consumes no vertical rack space. It mounts horizontally at the top or bottom of the rack, preserving every U of available space for revenue-generating IT equipment whilst still providing full power distribution and monitoring.
Is the AP8853 suitable for Australian electrical standards?
Yes. The AP8853 accepts 230V input and operates across the permissible range of 220–240V, which aligns with Australian electrical standards. The IEC 309 2P+E cord is standard for Australian data centre infrastructure.
