APC by Schneider Electric AP7921B Switched PDU

Overview

The APC AP7921B is a metered, switched rack PDU designed for reliable power distribution and remote management in IT environments. It provides 8 switched C13 outlets, allowing you to control power to individual devices, recycle equipment remotely, and monitor current draw. This 1U/0U form factor fits standard server racks, making it suitable for dense deployments where precise power control and visibility are required for network switches, servers, and other critical IT infrastructure. The AP7921B model specifically features a C20 input connector and supports 200-230V nominal input.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for use with standard 19-inch racks and integrates into APC's management ecosystem. It is compatible with network closets, server rooms, and data centers housing equipment that requires C13 power connectors and operates within a 200-230V range. It's suitable for use with servers, network switches, routers, and other rack-mounted IT equipment from various manufacturers, provided they utilize C14 power inlets and operate within the specified voltage and current limits. The 2.5m cable length offers flexibility in connecting to power sources.

Installation Notes

The AP7921B can be mounted vertically (0U) or horizontally (1U) within a standard 19-inch rack using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the total load does not exceed the PDU's maximum capacity of 3680 VA or 16A to prevent overload. The C20 input plug connects to a compatible C19 power outlet or distribution system. Remote outlet control and monitoring require network connectivity and configuration via the PDU's interface.
