APC AP8659

Overview

The APC AP8659 is a rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed to provide precise control and monitoring of power delivery in data centers and server rooms. It features a ZeroU vertical form factor that fits alongside your rack without occupying rack space, offering 21 C13 and 3 C19 outlets for flexible device connectivity. With a 20A input current limit and a 16A output rating, it supports a total load capacity of 3300 VA, making it suitable for managing multiple critical devices efficiently.

This PDU enables remote on/off switching for each outlet, allowing you to reboot or power down equipment individually without physical access. Real-time power monitoring at the outlet level helps optimize energy use and detect issues early. Additionally, it supports power sequencing to control the order of device startup and shutdown, reducing the risk of circuit overload.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
