APC AP8953 230V 32A 21 IEC 60320 C13 Rackmount Power Distribution Unit

Product Description

The APC AP8953 is a high-performance, switched Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for advanced power management in enterprise data centers and network closets. This unit provides 21 IEC C13 outlets, capable of distributing power to a significant number of IT devices. With a 230V input voltage and a 32A input current rating, it is engineered to handle substantial power loads, making it suitable for high-density rack configurations. This PDU offers sophisticated remote management capabilities, including the ability to switch individual outlets on or off remotely. This feature is crucial for IT administrators to perform tasks such as rebooting hung equipment, managing power sequences, and optimizing energy consumption without physical access. The integrated network interface allows for easy integration into existing network infrastructure and remote monitoring platforms. In addition to switching, the AP8953 provides detailed power monitoring, offering real-time data on voltage, current, power factor, and energy consumption. This granular visibility is vital for capacity planning, identifying power-hungry devices, and ensuring the overall health and efficiency of the data center's power infrastructure. Its robust design ensures reliable operation and protection for critical IT assets.
