APC by Schneider Electric AP8962US Switched Rack PDU
Overview
The APC AP8962US is a 20A, 208V, 3-phase switched rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed for enterprise data center environments. It provides remote on/off switching for individual outlets, enabling power cycling of connected IT equipment to reboot hung devices or manage power loads. This unit is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and military installations requiring adherence to trade agreements. The AP8962US offers granular control over power distribution at the rack level, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for integration into standard 19-inch server racks. It is compatible with APC's EcoStruxure IT management platform and StruxureWare Data Center Expert software for centralized monitoring and control. While not specific to any single vendor's IT equipment, it serves as a universal power distribution point for servers, network switches, storage devices, and other rack-mounted IT gear requiring 208V power. Its 3-phase input is critical for high-density power deployments common in modern data centers.
Installation Notes
Requires a 208V, 3-phase, 4-wire (plus ground) electrical service with a 20A circuit breaker. The unit features a NEMA L21-20P twist-lock input plug. Ensure proper grounding and that the circuit can support the total load of connected devices. The PDU's physical dimensions are optimized for standard rack mounting, with mounting brackets included for vertical installation.
