APC AP8930 Switched Rack PDU showing full length view with 24 NEMA outlets, LCD display, and mounting hook for vertical rack installation

Smart Power Control with Real-Time Monitoring and Remote Management

The APC AP8930 Switched Rack PDU transforms power distribution from a passive component into an intelligent control center for your data center infrastructure. This advanced power distribution unit features 24 individually controllable NEMA 5-20R outlets, each capable of remote power cycling and load monitoring through secure web, SNMP, or Telnet interfaces. The integrated LCD display provides instant access to critical power metrics including real-time current consumption, voltage levels, and environmental data from the optional temperature and humidity sensors. What sets this PDU apart is its sophisticated power sequencing capabilities that allow administrators to define precise startup and shutdown sequences for connected equipment. This prevents dangerous inrush currents during power restoration while ensuring critical systems come online in the proper order. The unit's ability to shed non-essential loads during power emergencies helps maintain uptime for mission-critical equipment, while user-defined alarms provide early warning of potential circuit overloads before they can cause costly downtime.
