APC power distribution units with metering by outlet optimize energy usage and protect circuits by collecting measurement data at each outlet. Real-time remote monitoring of connected loads is made possible through current measurements. Metered by Outlet Rack PDUs provide data on energy consumption, enabling data center managers to make informed decisions about load distribution and the proper sizing of IT environments, thereby reducing overall operating costs. The devices feature numerous functions and characteristics: monitoring of active power, connections for temperature and humidity sensors, locking IEC outlets, and ultra-flat circuit breakers. Configuration of the Metered by Outlet Rack PDUs is done through a secure web connection as well as SNMP or Telnet interfaces. APC platforms for centralized management, such as InfraStruxure Central, Operations, Capacity, and Energy Efficiency, are available as complementary management solutions.
