Take advantage of outlet-level control with the AP8931 8-Outlet Switched Zero RU 2G Rack PDU (15A, 100-120V) from APC. Designed for user-tailored power control, this power distribution unit uses a NEMA 5-15P input connection and sports eight NEMA 5-15R outlets. An RJ12 serial and RJ45 Base-T Ethernet port provide interfacing options, while a USB Type-A port can be used to deploy firmware upgrades via a flash drive. Network sharing ports are also present, as is a networking port for use with the optional APC Temp and Humidity Sensor. Alongside simple controls, this PDU’s interface panel also includes LEDs for status conditions, including warning and overload indicators.
Thanks to the switched design, users can turn individual outlets on or off, allowing for power cycling, remote reboots, or restriction against unauthorized use. Sequencing delays can be used to order when attached equipment powers up or down, and prioritized load shedding can be implemented to avoid circuit overload. Users can define alarms to suit preferred parameters for optimum circuit protection. Featuring a load capacity of 1440VA or 1400W, this PDU delivers 120V at 15A. Designed to be installed vertically on racks or enclosures, the APC AP8931 comes with mounting hardware and a serial configuration cable, and features a 10′ power cord.
