Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The APC Easy PDU Metered Zero U is one of those “quietly useful” bits of kit that’s great when you actually need visibility and control rather than just power distribution. If you’ve got a rack environment where uptime matters (or where multiple tenants/devices are on the same circuit), the metering helps you spot imbalances, identify bad actors, and make power-related troubleshooting a lot less guessy. The zero‑U form factor is also practical when you’re tight on vertical space but still want a proper, integrated unit rather than a fiddly grab-bag of adapters.

Would I buy it at ~£1,275 ex‑VAT? Only if your use case justifies the premium—i.e., you’re managing real loads across the rack and the cost of downtime or repeated troubleshooting is higher than the unit price. For a small office with a handful of devices, it’s probably overkill. And if your main goal is simply “provide outlets,” you can usually get similar distribution more cheaply. This is best for server closets, distributed comms gear, and any B2B setup where power visibility earns its keep fast—otherwise, the money might be better spent on power redundancy or cooling improvements.
