Rack/Cabinet-Mounted Power Distribution Units
APC Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Solution
APC Switched Rack PDU
Switched Rack PDUs provide advanced load monitoring combined with remote
on/off switching control of individual outlets for power cycling,
delayed power sequencing, and outlet use management.
Giving you the control of your rack IT equipment
APC Switched Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) enable advanced,
user-customizable power control and active monitoring. Remote outlet
level controls allow power on/off functionality for power cycling to
remotely reboot equipment and restrict unauthorized use of
individual outlets. Power sequencing time delays allow users to
define the order in which to power up or down attached equipment to
avoid circuit overload. Current metering provides real-time remote
monitoring of connected loads with user-defined alarms to warn of
potential circuit overloads. Users can access, configure, and
control Switched Rack PDUs through secure Web, SNMP, Command Line
Interface, or Telnet Interfaces which are complimented by APC
Centralized Management platforms using InfraStruxure Central,
Operations, Capacity, and Energy Efficiency. New AP8000 series
Switched Rack PDUs include real power monitoring, a temperature/humidity sensor port, and locking IEC receptacles.

Availability

|
Network Management
|
Full-featured network management
interfaces that provide
standards-based management via Web,
SNMP, and Telnet. Allows users to
access, configure, and manage units
from remote locations to save
valuable time. Associated with this
feature is the ability to quickly
and easily upgrade the firmware via
network download to installed units
for future product enhancements.
|
|
Remote Individual Outlet Control
|
Remotely manage outlets so users
can turn outlets off that are not in
use (prevent overloads) or recycle
power to locked-up equipment
(minimize costly downtime and avoid
travel time to equipment).
|
|
Alarm Thresholds
|
Define alarm thresholds in order
to avoid overloaded circuits.
Network and visual alarms inform the
user of possible problems. (Note:
Only available on units with the
current monitoring capabilities.
Please see SKU specifications for
availability)
|
|
Local Current Monitoring Display
|
The aggregate current draw per
power distribution unit is displayed
on the unit via a digital display.
The local digital display helps
installers avoid overloaded circuits
by providing a visible warning when
the current draw is close to the
maximum amperage draw of the strip.
(Available on designated SKUs only)
|
|
Power Delays
|
Allows users to configure the
sequence in which power is turned on
or off for each outlet. This helps
avoid in-rushes at start-up, which
can cause overloaded circuits and
dropped loads. Sequencing also
allows users to predetermine which
piece of equipment is turned on
first so other equipment dependant
on that unit will function properly.
|
|
Load indicator LED
|
Indicates overload and warning
conditions based on the user-defined
alarm thresholds. Alerts users of
potential overloaded circuits.
|
|
Flash Upgradeable
|
Quickly and easily upgrade
firmware via network download for
future product enhancements.
Eliminates the need to replace
products already installed in the
field when new features are
released. (Note: Networked units
only)
|
|
Integrates with InfraStruXure
Central
|
An IT-ready, scalable monitoring
system that collects, organizes, and
distributes critical alerts,
surveillance video and key
information, providing a unified
view of complex physical
infrastructure environments from
anywhere on the network

|
Agility
|
|
Rack-Mountable
|
Includes horizontal, vertical,
and toolless-mount varieties. Puts
power where it is needed most - in
the racks near the equipment.
|
|
Single input power source
|
Supply power from one branch whip
to multiple pieces of equipment,
conveniently powering rack-mount
equipment. Saves time and money
during installation by using one
branch whip and standard
connections.
|
|
Wide range of input and output
connections
|
Product family includes a variety
of input and output connections to
distribute 120V, 208V, or 230V power
to multiple outlets. Having a
variety of inputs and outputs allow
users to adapt to varying power
requirements. APC offers units that
bring up to 14.4kW using a single
branch whip.
