Specifications, conditions & service
| Catalog subcategory | Networked / switched PDUs |
|---|---|
| Topology / power path | Rack power distribution with network-controlled outlet switching; it is not a UPS, voltage regulator or surge suppressor. |
| Ratings / output configuration | 10 A at 230 V / 12 A at 208 V; one-phase, 1U horizontal rack form factor (2.3 kW / 2.5 kW nominal product listing values). Eight IEC C13 outlets on the AP7920B configuration; IEC C14 input cord/connector. Maximum usable load is constrained by input/branch circuit, cord and outlet ratings. |
| Battery / replaceability | No battery. |
| Runtime / limits and conditions | No battery backup/runtime; connected equipment loses power with the source or a remote off command. |
| Interfaces / monitoring | Network interface via the PDU management interface (web/SNMP according to installed management firmware); local display/controls are configuration-specific. Per-outlet remote switching is model function. |
| Safety / installation caveats | Does not generate power or guarantee surge protection. Observe circuit and PDU input-current limit; remote outlet cycling can interrupt equipment and risk data loss. Secure rack mounting and grounding required. |
| Model variants / revision checks | AP7920B is the 10 A/230 V or 12 A/208 V, eight-C13 switched SKU. AP7921B is a higher-current 16 A model; AP7900B is the older 120 V/NEMA product. Check input cord, outlet type, firmware and management card. |
Field service / archive notes
- Record labels and connector layout before installation; document load, input conditions, measured behavior and test date separately from manufacturer-rated values.
- Never open energized mains equipment. Battery devices can retain dangerous voltage or high fault current; follow the manufacturer’s replacement and recycling procedure.
- Inspect enclosure, cord, plugs, grounding, indicators, alarms and battery condition. Quarantine damaged, swollen, leaking or heat-affected equipment.
- Network-management appliances should be isolated, updated where supported and configured with non-default credentials; do not expose legacy management interfaces directly to the public internet.
