APC AP7911B Rack PDU Switched 2U 30A 208V 16 C13

APC AP7911B Switched 2U Rack PDU 16× C13

Overview

The APC AP7911B is a switched rack power distribution unit engineered to deliver controllable AC power distribution and load monitoring for standardized rack systems. It is deployed by infrastructure and data center engineers requiring remote outlet control and centralized power management to isolate and reboot hung devices or sequence power‑up events without physical access inside cabinets. This PDU aids in reducing downtime and enables operational control across multiple rack devices fed from a single high‑current branch.

This model accepts 200‑230 V AC input via a NEMA L6‑30P connection with a 30 A feed capacity and provides (16) IEC 60320 C13 outlets delivering up to approximately 4992 VA of load distribution. Outlets support remote switching and integrated current metering, enabling administrators to track each rack’s load profile and manage outlet power states as part of broader capacity planning and fault isolation workflows.

The unit’s 2U horizontal rackmount form factor and included mounting brackets allow installation in standard 19‑inch cabinets and rear rail spaces where horizontal space is available. Power distribution across 16 outlets supports a mix of servers, networking switches, storage arrays, and converged infrastructure gear, while remote control allows outlet‑level shutdowns for reboot sequences or fault isolation.

Management interfaces typically include Ethernet (HTTP/S), SNMP, and Telnet, enabling integration with centralized monitoring platforms or automated management scripts to monitor load trends and remotely cycle outlet groups during maintenance windows. These capabilities improve operational control in distributed enterprise environments where physical access may be constrained.

This switched PDU is not intended for outlet metering per individual outlet at the watt level; instead, measurement focuses on aggregate current and load patterns. Units requiring per‑outlet power usage metrics or three‑phase distribution should be sourced from models with dedicated per‑outlet metering or multi‑phase support.
