APC Switched Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) address power management
problems in today's IT environment through individual outlet control, power on
and off delays, current monitoring, alarm thresholds, and network management.
Individual outlet control to turn outlets on, turn outlets off, or recycle power
to equipment allows users to reboot locked-up equipment and avoid unauthorized
use of outlets. Power delays allow users to determine the order in which
equipment is powered up or down. Switched Rack PDUs provide an aggregate
current draw, which can be viewed remotely or locally via digital display. In
addition, alarms will be generated based on user-defined thresholds to alert
users to potential circuit overloads. Users can access, configure, and control
Switched Rack PDUs through Web, SNMP, or Telnet Interfaces.
- Remote outlet level controls allow power
on/off functionality for power recycling to reboot locked-up equipment and to
avoid unauthorized use of individual outlets.
- Power sequencing delays allow
users to define the order in which to power up or down attached equipment.
- Avoid
circuit overload during power recovery and extend uptime of critical equipment
by prioritizing the load shedding.
- Current metering provides real-time remote
monitoring of connected loads.
- User-defined alarms warn of potential circuit
overloads before critical IT failures occur.
- Users can access, configure, and
control Switched rack PDUs through secure Web, SNMP, or Telnet Interfaces and is
complimented by APC Centralized Management platforms using InfraStruXure
Manager, InfraStruXure Central, Capacity Manager and Change Manager.

Switched PDU Features:
- 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.)
- 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

APC Switched PDU
Switched Rack PDU
The APC Switched PDU offer many benefits:
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.
Applications
- Wide Range of Input and Output Connections
- Remote Individual Outlet Control
- Power Delays
