Switched 0U PDU for remote outlet control
The APC AP8958NA3 is a switched rack power distribution unit designed for IT administrators who need individual outlet management. Its 0U form factor mounts vertically in a rack without consuming horizontal space. The unit accepts 200V, 208V or 230V input at up to 20A through a NEMA L6-20P plug with a 10 ft cord. Seven C13 and one C19 outlets deliver 230V power to connected servers and network gear.
Passive cooling with wide environmental tolerance
The PDU operates silently with no fans, relying on convection within the rack airflow. It is rated for continuous operation from -5°C to 45°C at up to 95% relative humidity and elevations to 3000 m. Input frequency covers both 50 Hz and 60 Hz supplies. Maximum input current is 20A, so total connected load must remain within that limit. The metal chassis meets cUL, UL, FCC Class A, VCCI Class A, VDE and other listed certifications.
Locking receptacles and sensor port for secure
Each IEC 320 outlet uses a locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection of C13 and C19 plugs. A built-in temperature/humidity sensor port allows external environmental monitoring. Real-time current metering with user-defined alarms warns of potential overloads before a breaker trips. Power sequencing lets administrators define startup and shutdown order to avoid inrush surges. Management is via secure Web, SNMP, CLI or Telnet, and integrates with APC InfraStruxure Central platforms.

Questions about this item
How do I mount this 0U PDU in a rack and which step is often missed?
Mount the 38.9-inch unit vertically using the included tool-less buttons or brackets; the step often missed is securing the 10 ft NEMA L6-20P cord with a strain-relief clamp so the plug cannot pull loose under load.
What maintenance will the AP8958NA3 need over its life?
No user-serviceable parts inside; periodically verify the 7 IEC C13 and 1 IEC C19 locking receptacles stay tight, clean dust from vents to keep airflow within the -5 to 45 °C operating range, and replace the optional temperature/humidity sensor if readings drift.
Which limit appears first when the PDU runs near full load continuously?
The 20 A NEMA L6-20P input rating is the first hard limit; total connected equipment must not exceed 20 A at 230 V or the upstream breaker will trip.
