APC by Schneider Electric AP7960 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC AP7960 is a switched rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for data center and network closet environments. It offers remote on/off switching for individual outlets, enabling power cycling of connected equipment to resolve hung devices or perform scheduled reboots. Its Zero U form factor allows it to be mounted vertically in standard racks without consuming horizontal rack space, maximizing density for critical IT infrastructure. This unit provides 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets, supporting up to 5.7kW total load at 120V.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for integration into standard 19-inch server racks. It is compatible with a wide range of IT equipment that utilizes NEMA 5-20R plugs, including servers, network switches, storage devices, and other rack-mounted electronics. It functions as a power distribution point for any standard 120V electrical service within its capacity limits.

Installation Notes

The AP7960 mounts vertically in a standard 19-inch rack using the provided mounting brackets. It requires a 120V, single-phase electrical service with a 30A circuit breaker (or two 15A circuits depending on configuration and load balancing) to achieve its full 5.7kW capacity. Ensure the rack has adequate vertical space for the unit's height. Network connectivity is required for remote switching functionality via its Ethernet port.
