Overview
- The APC AP8659 is a professional-grade switched metered Rack PDU designed for organisations requiring advanced power management and distribution in data centre environments. With individual outlet switching capabilities, IT teams can remotely power cycle equipment, manage unauthorised access to specific outlets, and monitor real-time power consumption on each connection.
The unit delivers critical operational benefits through power sequencing delays that allow administrators to define equipment startup and shutdown order, preventing circuit overload during recovery and extending uptime of mission-critical systems. Built-in real-time power monitoring and a temperature/humidity sensor port provide comprehensive visibility into power delivery and environmental conditions.
With 21 × C13 and 3 × C19 outlets rated at 20A/208V or 16A/230V, the AP8659 supports high-density equipment loads whilst maintaining control and protection. User-defined alarms automatically warn of potential circuit overloads before failures occur, enabling proactive intervention and risk management.

FAQs
What is the difference between a switched metered PDU and a standard PDU?
A switched metered PDU provides individual outlet power control and real-time power consumption monitoring for each outlet. This allows remote on/off switching for power cycling and unauthorised access prevention, plus detailed visibility into power usage. Standard PDUs distribute power without outlet-level control or metering.
Can I control outlets remotely with this PDU?
Yes, the APC AP8659 enables remote outlet-level power control, allowing you to switch individual outlets on or off remotely for power recycling, equipment rebooting, and access management.
How does power sequencing help in a data centre?
Power sequencing allows you to define the order in which equipment powers up or down. This prevents circuit overload during power recovery by distributing the startup load over time, extending equipment uptime and reducing failure risk.
What monitoring capabilities does the AP8659 provide?
The unit provides real-time power monitoring per outlet, outlet-level current metering, user-defined alarms for circuit overload warnings, and a temperature/humidity sensor port for environmental monitoring.
What voltage and current ratings does this PDU support?
The AP8659 supports 20A/208V or 16A/230V input ratings with a permissible voltage range of 100–240 V. It can deliver up to 3300 VA and operates at both 50 and 60 Hz frequencies.
How many outlets does the AP8659 have?
The PDU provides 21 × C13 outlets and 3 × C19 outlets, giving a total of 24 locking IEC receptacles for connecting various IT equipment.
Is this PDU suitable for small server installations?
The AP8659 is designed for professional data centre and infrastructure deployments requiring advanced power management. It is best suited for organisations needing granular outlet control and real-time monitoring across multiple critical systems.
