Overview

The APC AP8930 NetShelter Switched Rack PDU is engineered for IT and enterprise environments demanding precision power control. With 20A capacity, 24 outlets, and 0U vertical mounting, it provides reliable distribution while enabling advanced monitoring and remote outlet management to maximize uptime.

Key Features & Benefits

• Remote Outlet Control: Power cycle devices or restrict usage directly from a secure interface.
• Power Sequencing: Reduce inrush currents by defining startup and shutdown order.
• Real-Time Metering: Continuous load visibility helps prevent overloads.
• Environmental Monitoring: Sensor port supports temperature and humidity inputs.
• Flexible Rack Integration: 0U vertical design conserves critical rack space.

Technical Deep Dive

At its foundation, the AP8930 offers switched outlet-level control. This allows administrators to remotely reboot locked systems, manage energy consumption, and enhance equipment security by limiting unauthorized access to outlets.

Its integrated metering delivers accurate current data, ensuring informed capacity planning and early detection of potential overload conditions. Power sequencing functionality is particularly valuable in data centers, as it staggers device startups to prevent circuit trips during recovery events.

Designed for interoperability, the unit supports access through Web, SNMP, or Telnet and integrates with APC management platforms like InfraStruxure Central. Combined with locking IEC outlets and low-profile breakers, it ensures robust and secure distribution for mission-critical IT loads.

Ideal Applications

• Enterprise network closets
• High-density data center racks
• Server and storage deployments
• Colocation facilities requiring outlet-level control
